Target: Toll-like receptor 7 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q9NYK1
Assay: TLR7/8/9 Inhibition Reporter Assay: HEK-Blue-cells (Invivogen) overexpressing human TLR7, TLR8 or TLR9 receptors were used for screening inhibitors of these receptors using an inducible SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase) reporter gene under the control of the IFN-β minimal promoter fused to five NF-κB and AP-1-binding sites. Briefly, cells are seeded into Greiner 384 well plates (15000 cells per well for TLR7, 20,000 for TLR8 and 25,000 for TLR9) and then treated with test compounds in DMSO to yield a final dose response concentration range of 0.05 nM-50 μM. After a 30 minute compound pre-treatment at room temperature, the cells are then stimulated with a TLR7 ligand (gardiquimod at a final concentration of 7.5 μM), TLR8 ligand (R848 at a final concentration of 15.9 μM) or TLR9 ligand (ODN2006 at a final concentration of 5 nM) to activate NF-κB and AP-1 which induce the production of SEAP. After a 22 hour incubation at 37° C., 5% CO2, SEAP levels are determined with the addition of HEK-Blue Detection reagent (Invivogen), a cell culture medium that allows for detection of SEAP, according to manufacturer's specifications. The percent inhibition is determined as the % reduction in the HEK-Blue signal present in wells treated with agonist plus DMSO alone compared to wells treated with a known inhibitor.

Target: Sodium channel protein type 9 subunit alpha (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q15858
Assay: FLIPR Assay: In vitro assays were performed in a recombinant cell line expressing cDNA encoding the alpha subunit (Nav1.7, SCN9a, PN1, NE) of human Nav1.7 (Accession No. NM_002977). The cell line was provided by investigators at Yale University (Cummins et al, J. Neurosci. 18(23): 9607-9619 (1998)). For dominant selection of the Nav1.7-expressing clones, the expression plasmid co-expressed the neomycin resistance gene. The cell line was constructed in the human embryonic kidney cell line, HEK293, under the influence of the CMV major late promoter, and stable clones were selected using limiting dilution cloning and antibiotic selection using the neomycin analogue, G418. Recombinant beta and gamma subunits were not introduced into this cell line. Additional cell lines expressing recombinant Nav1.7 cloned from other species can also be used, alone or in combination with various beta subunits, gamma subunits or chaperones.

Target: Complement factor D (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P00746
Assay: Factor D Esterolytic Assay: An established esterolytic assay for the measurement of Factor D activity and inhibition of Factor D activity was used (Kam, C. M.; McRae, B. J.; Harper, J. W.; Niemann, M. A.; Volanakis, J. E.; Powers, J. C. Human complement proteins D, C2, and B Active site mapping with peptide thioester substrates. J Biol. Chem. 1987, 262, 3444-3451). For this assay Z-Lys-SBzl, 1.29 mM (Kim, S.; Narayana, S. V. L; Volanakis, J. E. Mutational analysis of the substrate binding site of human complement Factor D. Biochemistry. 1994, 33, 14393-14399.) was used as the substrate for Factor D (104 mM). Hydrolysis of this compound by Factor D liberated a free sulfhydryl group which is then reacted with 5,5′-dithiobis(2nitrobenzoic acid) producing an intense yellow color (Habeeb, A. F. S. A. Reaction of protein sulfhydryl groups with Ellman's Reagent. Methods in Enzymol. 1976, 25, 457-464). The assays were performed in 96 well microtiter plates and rates of hydrolysis were monitored at 405 nm on a Biotek Synergy H1 plate reader. Hydrolysis rates were reported as change in mOD/min. The assay was conducted in 100 mM HEPES, 500 mM NaCl, pH 7.5 containing 10% DMSO in a final volume of 50 μL per well.

Target: Kappa-type opioid receptor (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P41145
Assay: OPRK1 antagonist assay: The cell line for the OPRK1 antagonist assay stably expresses the following elements. The carboxy terminus of the OPRK1 receptor has a 7 amino acid linker, followed by the TEV protease cleavage site and a GAL4-VP16 fusion protein. The cell line also expresses a b-arrestin-2-TEV protease fusion protein and contains a reporter construct consisting of the UAS response element and the b-lactamase (bla) reporter gene. Upon activation of the receptor, g-protein receptor kinase (GRK) phosphorylates specific intracellular residues of OPKR1 and this induces recruitment of B-arrestin2-TEV protease fusion protein. The TEV protease recognizes and cleaves the TEV site, releasing the GAL4-VP16 fusion protein, which then translocates to the nucleus. The GAL4-V16 binds to the UAS element, driving expressing of the b-lactamase gene. B-lactamase expression is detected with the cell permeable, fluorescent substrate, CCF4-AM. This substrate consists of coumarin tethered to fluoroscein via a b-lactam ring. In the absence of b-lactamase, excitation of the dye with 405 nm light results in FRET from the coumarin to fluoroscein and emission of green (525 nm maximum) light. B-lactamase cleavage of the substrate separates the courmarin fluorophore from the fluorscein, and 405 nm excitation results in blue (460 nm maximum) emission. The assay is monitored by the blue/green emission ratio. The antagonist assay is performed by seeding the cells into 384 well plates and incubating them 16-24 hours at 37° C. Test antagonist compounds are added and incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. Next an EC80 challenge of U-50488 (OKRK1 agonist) is added and the samples are incubated for 4 hours at 37° C., followed by addition of CCF4-AM substrate. The plates are then incubated 2 hours at room temperature in the dark and the blue/green ratio determined on a fluorescent plate reader. See J Biomol Screen April 2009, vol. 14 no. 4, pp 381-394.

Assay: Compound Profiling Methods: Strains expressing SCD1 or SCD5 as the sole desaturase, the human SCD1 and SCD5 genes were used to evaluate inhibition of SCD1/SCD5 using reduced growth as a surrogate for SCD inhibition. These yeast strains express human SCD1 or SCD5 from a plasmid harbored in a strain in which the yeast OLE1 gene is deleted.All compound profiling experiments were performed using the same basic protocol. Yeast were cultured using standard techniques in complete synthetic media lacking uracil and containing yeast nitrogen base supplemented with 2% (w/v) glucose (SD-Ura) Starter cultures were inoculated in 3 mL SD-Ura media containing 0.01% tween and 0.2 mM palmitoleic and oleic acid. Cultures were incubated overnight in a 30° C. shaker incubator (225 rpm). Saturated morning cultures were centrifuged, washed in SD-Ura media lacking TWEEN-20 and fatty acids, and then diluted 1:20 in fresh SD-Ura media also lacking TWEEN-20 and fatty acids. Cells were grown for 6 h to an  (optical density) of 0.4-0.8 at 30° C. with shaking.Compound stocks (10 mM in 100% DMSO) were arrayed into 384-round well, v-bottom polypropylene plates and diluted according to indicated dilution factors. Compound administration was performed in two separate steps. First, 15 μL of SD-Ura was dispensed into clear 384-well assay plates using a MULTIDROP Combi reagent dispenser. The diluted compound stock plates were then applied to the assay plates using an automated workstation (Perkin Elmer JANUS) outfitted with a 384-pin tool containing slotted pins that deliver 100 nL of compound. The cultures described above were centrifuged and washed with media lacking TWEEN-20 or oleic and palmitoleic acids. Cultures were then resuspended at a 2-fold concentrated  of 0.02 (final  of 0.0.01) in SD-Ura. 15 μL of diluted culture was then dispensed into the pinned assay plate to achieve 30 μL of the 1× culture (0.01) and a top drug concentration of 33.3 μM.After yeast delivery, assay plates were incubated under humidified conditions at 30° C. for 40 h. Yeast growth was monitored by reading the  of each well using a microplate reader (Perkin Elmer EnVision). Data were analyzed as follows. Raw data were processed by background subtracting and converting values to a percent of the nontreated condition for that strain [(EXP-0.035)/(DMSO-0.035)×100%].

Briefly, this procedure exploits the exquisite specificity and high affinity binding of enzyme reaction substrate phosphatidyl(3,4,5)triphosphate (PIP3) to the GRP1 pleckstrin homology (PH) domain to generate the signal. In the absence of PIP3, an HTRF (Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence energy transfer) complex is formed consisting of europium (u)-labeled anti-GST, GST tagged GRP1-PH domain, biotin-PIP3 (biotinylated-PIP3) and streptavidin conjugated APC (Allophycocyanin). The native PIP3 produced by PI3-Kinase activity disrupts in a competitive manner the biotin-PIP3 from the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, resulting in the loss of energy transfer (HTRF complex) and a decrease in the signal. The format of this assay is the same for all 4 isoforms of PI3K; the differences lie in the concentration of enzyme used to achieve robust assay window. The alpha, beta, and delta assays are run at 0.5, 1, and 0.3 nM enzymes and the gamma assay is run at 5 nM enzyme. The ATP concentration is 100 uM in the alpha, beta, and delta assays and 50 uM adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the gamma assay. All reactions are run at 5 uM PIP2.

Assay: TR-FRET Screening: The compounds of the present application can regulate (inhibit) the biological activity of the nuclear receptor RORγ, and the intensity of such a regulation (inhibition) can be evaluated by TR-FRET (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) screening system. Nuclear receptor cofactors (co-activators and co-repressors) can regulate the transcription of target genes through interactions with nuclear receptors. If a ligand (test compound) interferes with the interaction between a nuclear receptor and a cofactor, such a ligand (test compound) can regulate the transcription of the corresponding gene.The method employs LanthaScreen TR-FRET (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) technique of Life Technologies Co. to test the compounds for their abilities to regulate (agonize or inversely agonize) the interaction between RORγ and its co-activator. RORγ-LBD is indirectly labeled by binding a terbium(Tb)-labeled anti-GST antibody (Life Technologies #PV3550) onto the GST tag of RORγ-LBD (Life Technologies #PV5887). When no ligand is present, RORγ can continuously bind to a fluorescein-labeled co-activator, and the binding of an agonist to RORγ can enhance the interaction between RORγ and the fluorescein-labeled co-activator; while the binding of an inverse agonist to RORγ can inhibit the interaction between RORγ and the fluorescein-labeled co-activator. When the fluorescein-labeled co-activator and the terbium-labeled anti-GST antibody-RORγ-LBD composite are close to each other to a certain distance, an energy transfer can occur, generating a TR-FRET signal. The co-activators employed in the method are not limited to D22 (Life Technologies #PV4386).(1) The final concentrations in the reaction system and the reaction conditions in the method are shown in the table below:TABLE 2 Concentration of Total Concentration of Fluorescein-labeled Concentration of Tb-labeled volume Reaction ROR γ-LBD co-activator activator peptide anti-GST antibody (μL) conditions 2 nM D22 150 nM 2 nM 20 22° C., 5 hr Fluorescein-D22

Assay: Radioligand Binding Assay: Radioligand binding assays for Sigma-1 receptors and Sigma-2 receptors were carried out by a commercial contract research organization. For Sigma-1 binding, various concentrations of test compounds from 100 μM to 1 nM were used to displace 8 nM [3H](+)pentazocine from endogenous receptors on Jurkat cell membranes (Ganapathy M E et al. 1991, J Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 289:251-260). 10 μM Haloperidol was used to define non-specific binding. For Sigma-2 receptors various concentrations of test compounds from 100 μM to 1 nM were used to displace 5 nM [3H] 1,3-Di-(2-tolyl)guanidine from endogenous receptors on membranes from rat cerebral cortex in the presence of 300 nM (+)pentazocine to mask Sigma-1 receptors. (Bowen W D, et al. 1993, Mol. Neuropharmcol 3:117-126). 10 μM Haloperidol was used to define non-specific binding. Reactions were terminated by rapid filtration through Whatman GF/C filters using a Brandel 12R cell harvester followed by two washes with ice-cold buffer. Radioactivity on the dried filter discs was measured using a liquid scintillation analyzer (Tri-Carb 2900TR; PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences). The displacement curves were plotted and the Ki values of the test ligands for the receptor subtypes were determined using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, Calif.). The percentage specific binding was determined by dividing the difference between total bound (disintegrations per minute) and nonspecific bound (disintegrations per minute) by the total bound (disintegrations per minute).

Target: Glutamate NMDA receptor; GRIN1/GRIN2B (PROTEIN COMPLEX), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q05586
Assay: NMDA receptor FLIPR assay: NMDA receptors are ion channels that are highly permeable to Ca2+ ions, rendering it possible to monitor NMDA receptor function using cell-based calcium flux assay. In this assay, co-agonists glutamate and glycine are added to cells heterologously expressing human GluN1/GluN2B NMDA receptors to initiate cellular Ca2+ influx. The time course of the changes in intracellular calcium is measured using a fluorescent dye and a FLIPR (Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader) device.Twenty four hours before measurements, the expression of the NMDA receptors in the stable cell line is induced with Tet-On inducible system in the presence of a non-selective NMDA receptor blocker. On the day of the experiment, cell culture media is carefully washed and the cells are loaded with Calcium 5 Dye Kit (Molecular Devices) in dye loading buffer containing 149 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, and 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES and 5 mM D-glucose; pH 7.4. After 1 h incubation at the room temperature, the dye is washed away with the assay buffer (149 mM NaCl (standard assay) or 150 mM (HTS assay), 4 mM KCl (standard assay) or 3 mM (HTS assay), 2 mM CaCl2, 0.01 mM EDTA, 10 mM HEPES and 5 mM D-glucose; pH 7.4) In the FLIPR TETRA reader, various concentrations of the test compounds are added to the cells for 5 min while fluorescence is monitored to detect potential agonist activity. Next, co-agonists, glutamate and glycine are added for another 5 minutes. The concentration of glutamate corresponding to EC80 (standard assay) or EC40 (HTS assay) is used to maximize the assay's signal window or the ability to detect NMDA receptor antagonists and negative allosteric modulators, respectively. A saturating concentration (10 μM) of glycine is also present in the assay. A non-selective NMDA receptor antagonist, (+)MK-801 is used as a positive control for antagonist activity. The fluorescent signal in the presence of test compounds is quantified and normalized to the signal defined by the appropriate control wells.

Assay: GAL4-RORgamma Transactivation: The RORγ transactivation model was developed from the line HG5LN, which is a HeLa line that stably expresses a luciferase reporter gene controlled by a pentamer of the GAL4 recognition domain of yeast and of a β-globin promoter. The HG5LN line was stably transfected by the DNA-binding domain (DBD) of GAL4 fused to the ROR gamma ligand-binding domain (LBD). Molecules that inhibit the ROR gamma constitutive activity reduce the luciferase expression, thus leading to a reduction in the emitted luminescence.The cells are seeded in 384-well plates (5000 cells in 45 μL/well of culture medium containing 10% fetal calf serum) and incubated for 4 hours at 37° C., 5% CO2. 5 μL of the test molecules (compounds described in the tables described above) are then added to each well and the plates are incubated for 18 hours at a temperature of 37° C. under 5% of CO2. 20 μL of luciferase substrate (Promega) are added to each well and the luminescence emitted is read by a microplate reader.The luminescence units (RLU) are normalized by positive controls (POS containing a saturated concentration of benzenesulfonamide, N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-N-[4-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxy-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]phenyl]) and negative controls (NEG containing DMSO): % inhibition=((RLU−NEG)*100)/(POS−NEG). The IC50 values are calculated from a 4-parameter logistic model using the XLFit software (IDBS).

Cultured cells were detached and resuspended in the cAMP Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) assay buffer (Cisbio cat; #62AM4PEJ). The assay was performed in 384-well assay plates (Perkin-Elmer; cat #6008289) according to assay protocol provided by the manufacturer. Serial dilutions of a compound together with assay buffer containing 0.2 nM IBMX and 2 μM forskolin were added to each well containing 5,000 cells and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Subsequently, cAMP D2 reagent was added in the lysis buffer followed by the EuK antibody (Cisbio; cat #62AM4PEJ) and incubated for 60 min. The fluorescence emission ratio was measured using fluorometer. The intracellular cAMP concentrations (compound-stimulated inhibition of forskolin-mediated cAMP production) were calculated by extrapolation from a standard curve using known cAMP concentrations. The EC50 values were obtained by fitting the data to a sigmoidal concentration-response curve with variable slope. The maximal achievable inhibition of forskolin-induced cAMP levels (Ymax) for each compound was expressed as relative percentage of inhibition attained using pyroglutamated apelin-13 ((Pyr1)apelin-13) peptide, which was set to 100%.The examples disclosed below were tested in the APJ in vitro assays described above and were found having human APJ cyclic AMP (hcAMP) activity.

Assay: TLR7/8/9 Inhibition Reporter Assays: HEK-Blue-cells (Invivogen) overexpressing human TLR7, TLR8 or TLR9 receptors were used for screening inhibitors of these receptors using an inducible SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase) reporter gene under the control of the IFN-β minimal promoter fused to five NF-κB and AP-1-binding sites. Briefly, cells are seeded into Greiner 384 well plates (15000 cells per well for TLR7, 20,000 for TLR8 and 25,000 for TLR9) and then treated with test compounds in DMSO to yield a final dose response concentration range of 0.05 nM-50 μM. After a 30 minute compound pre-treatment at room temperature, the cells are then stimulated with a TLR7 ligand (gardiquimod at a final concentration of 7.5 μM), TLR8 ligand (R848 at a final concentration of 15.9 μM) or TLR9 ligand (ODN2006 at a final concentration of 5 nM) to activate NF-κB and AP-1 which induce the production of SEAP. After a 22 hour incubation at 37° C., 5% CO2, SEAP levels are determined with the addition of HEK-Blue Detection reagent (Invivogen), a cell culture medium that allows for detection of SEAP, according to manufacturer's specifications. The percent inhibition is determined as the % reduction in the HEK-Blue signal present in wells treated with agonist plus DMSO alone compared to wells treated with a known inhibitor.

The signalling pathway that TLR7 activation leads to downstream NF-κB activation has been widely accepted, and therefore similar reporter assay was also widely used for evaluating TLR7 agonist (Tsuneyasu Kaisho and Takashi Tanaka, Trends in Immunology, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2008, Pages 329.sci; Hiroaki Hemmi et al, Nature Immunology 3, 196-200 (2002).The compounds of the present invention were tested in the above assay for their TLR7 agonism activity as described herein and results are listed in Table 1. The Examples were found to have EC50 of about 3 μM to about 500 μM. Particular compounds of formula (I) or (Ia) were found to have EC50 of about 3 μM to about 200 μM.
Measurement: EC50 = 60000 nM (pChEMBL 4.21999979019165)
