Assay: In Vitro Test of Inhibition of Human FP Receptor Activity : For the characterization of test substances in respect of FP antagonism, PGF2α-induced calcium flux in FP-expressing CHEM1 cells (Millipore, HTS093C) was used.3000 cells in 25 μl of full medium [DMEM F12, 10% FCS, 1.35 mM sodium pyruvate, 20 mM HEPES, 4 mM GlutaMAX, 2% sodium bicarbonate, 1% Pen/Strep, 1% 100× non-essential amino acids] are sown per well of a 384 multititer plate (from Greiner, TC plate, black with clear base) and incubated at 37° C./5% CO2 for 24 hours. Prior to the measurement, the medium is replaced by 30 μl of Fluo-8 AM loading buffer [calcium-free Tyrode (130 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 20 mM HEPES, 1 mM MgCl2, 4.8 mM NaHCO3, pH 7.4), 2 mM CaCl2, 1× SmartBlock (from CANDOR Bioscience GmbH), 4.5 mM Probenecid, 5 μM Fluo-8 AM, 0.016% Pluronic, 0.04% Brilliant black] and incubated at 37° C./5% CO2 for 30 minutes. The test substance is prepared in DMSO in various concentrations as a dose-response curve (starting concentration 10 mM, dilution factor 3.16) and prediluted 1:50 with calcium-free Tyrode/2 mM CaCl2. 10 μl of the prediluted substance solution are added to the Fluo-8-laden cells and incubated at 37° C./5% CO2 for 10 minutes. The FP receptor is activated by adding 20 μl of 3 nM (final concentration) PGF2α in calcium-free Tyrode/2 mM CaCl2/0.04% Brilliant black, and the calcium flux is determined by measuring the fluorescence at ex. 470 nm/em. 525 nm in a fluorescence measuring instrument (FLIPR Tetra, Molecular Devices) for 120 seconds.

Assay: Bioactivity Assay: Human kidney embryonic cells HEK-293T were grown in a petri dish (diameter=10 cm) containing DMEM and 10% of bovine fetal serum culture solution, and incubated in an 5% of carbon dioxide-containing incubator at 37° C. Plasmids carrying human URAT1 were transfected to HEK-293T cells using TransIT-293 (Mirus Bio LLC). After 72 hours, the petri dish containing HEK-293T cells transfected with URAT1 was removed from the incubator and the cells were inoculated on Poly-D-Lysine Coated 96-well Plates at a density of 60,000 cells per well. After the cells on the 96-well plates were grown overnight (at least 12 hours) in an incubator at 37 degrees, these cells were gently rinsed 3 times with warm and no chloride ions-containing HBSS buffer (125 mM sodium gluconate, 4.8 mM potassium gluconate, 1.3 mM calcium gluconate, 1.2 mM monopotassium phosphate, 1.2 mM magnesium sulfate, 5.6 mM glucose, 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4). 50 microliter of HBSS buffer (not containing chloride ions) containing 0.2 microcurie of 14C-uric acid and compounds of the present application or benzbromarone, and vector was added in each well, then the cell plates were put back to the incubator at 37 degrees. After 5 min, the buffer was removed from cell wells, added with 100 microliter of ice-cold and no chloride ions-containing HBSS buffer to gently rinse cells within wells so as to stop them from absorbing 14C-uric acid, the rinsing was repeated 3 times in the same manner. 150 microliter of cell lysate (100 mM of NaOH) was added in each well. Cell plate was placed on a vibrating plate and vibrated for 10 min at a speed of 600 rpm such that the cells were completely lysed. The cell plate was put in a centrifuge and spun for 5 min at a speed of 1000 rpm, then 45 microliter of supernatant was sucked out from each well and transferred to 96-well plate (Isoplate-96 Microplate from PerkinElmer).

Assay: BINDING ASSAY: The following assay can be used for determination of GPR43 activation. When a GPCR is in its active state, either as a result of ligand binding or constitutive activation, the receptor couples to a G protein and stimulates the release of GDP and subsequent binding of GTP to the G protein. The alpha subunit of the G protein-receptor complex acts as a GTPase and slowly hydrolyses the GTP to GDP, at which point the receptor normally is deactivated. Activated receptors continue to exchange GDP for GTP. The non-hydrolysable GTP analog, [35S]GTPγS, was used to demonstrate enhance binding of [35S]GTPγS to membranes expressing receptors. The assay uses the ability of GPCR to stimulate [35S]GTPγS binding to membranes expressing the relevant receptors. The assay can, therefore, be used in the direct identification method to screen candidate compounds to endogenous or not endogenous GPCR.

Assay: Biochemical Assay: Assays for biochemical cell-based activity of c-kit kinase are known in the art, for example, as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,498,342 and 7,846,941, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference as it relates to such assays. The c-kit (or kinase domain thereof) is an active kinase in AlphaScreen. IC50 values are determined with respect to inhibition of c-Kit kinase activity, where inhibition of phosphorylation of a peptide substrate is measured as a function of compound concentration. Compounds to be tested were dissolved in DMSO to a concentration of 30 mM. These were diluted 30 μl into 130 μl of DMSO (4 mM) and 1 μl was added to an assay plate. These were then serially diluted 1:3 (50 μl to 100 μl DMSO) for a total of 8 points. Plates were prepared such that each kinase reaction is 30 μl in 1× kinase buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM MnCl2, 0.01% NP-40, 0.2% BSA), 5% DMSO and 10 μM ATP. Substrate was 100 nM biotin-(E4Y)3 (Open Source Biotech, Inc.). C-kit kinase was at 0.1 ng per sample. After incubation of the kinase reaction for 1 hour at room temperature, 5 μl of donor beads (Streptavidin coated beads (Perkin Elmer Life Science) final concentration 1 μg/ml) in stop buffer (50 mM EDTA in 1× kinase buffer) was added, the sample was mixed and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature before adding 5 ml of acceptor beads (PY30 coated beads (Perkin Elmer Life Science) final concentration 1 μg/ml) in stop buffer. The samples were incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature and the signal per well was read on AlphaQuest reader. Phosphorylated substrate results in binding of the PY30 antibody and association of the donor and acceptor beads such that signal correlates with kinase activity.

Target: Proto-oncogene Wnt-1 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P04628
Assay: The screening assay for Wnt activity: The screening assay for Wnt activity is described as follows. Reporter cell lines can be generated by stably transducing cancer cell lines (e.g., colon cancer) or primary cells (e.g., IEC-6 intestinal cells) with a lentiviral construct that includes a Wnt-responsive promoter driving expression of the firefly luciferase gene.SW480 colon carcinoma cells were transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing luciferase with a human Sp5 promoter consisting of a sequence of eight TCF/LEF binding sites. SW480 cells stably expressing the Sp5-Luc reporter gene and a hygromycin resistance gene were selected by treatment with 150 μg/ml of hygromycin for 7 days. These stably transduced SW480 cells were expanded in cell culture and used for all further screening activities. For Sp5-Luc reporter gene assays, the cells were plated at 10,000 cells/well in 96-well plates with growth medium containing 10% fetal calf serum and incubated overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Each compound was dissolved in DMSO as a 10 mM stock in standard j-vials and used to prepare compound source plates in dose-response format with 3-fold serial dilutions and a 10 mM top concentration. Compound transfer from serially diluted source plates to assay plates containing the cells was accomplished using a pintool (Multimek 96, Beckman equipped with V&P Scientific FP1S50H pins) based liquid handling protocol. This protocol used a slotted pin to transfer 50 nl of compound from a source plate well to an assay plate well containing 50 μl of cells in growth medium. The 1000-fold dilution resulted in a final DMSO concentration of 0.1% on the cells in each well. Control wells received 50 nl of DMSO treatment for normalization and calculating IC50 values. The treated cells were incubated at 37° C. and 5% CO2 for an additional forty-two hours. Following incubation, the growth medium was removed and 50 μl of BrightGlo luminescence reagent (Promega) was added to each well of the 96-well assay plates. The plates were placed on an orbital shaker for 5 min and then luminescence was quantified on the Victor3 (Perkin Elmer) plate reader. Readings were normalized to DMSO only treated cells, and normalized activities were utilized for IC50 calculations using the dose-response log (inhibitor) vs. response-variable slope (four parameters) nonlinear regression feature available in GraphPad Prism 5.0 or 6.0.

Then the medium is changed to a identical medium without FCS and containing Octanoate-BSA (final concentration 100 μM each) and compound in DMSO (final DMSO concentration 0.3%). After incubation for 5 hours acylghrelin in the medium is measured by ELISAThe medium sample is diluted 1:25 in Elisa buffer, A 25 ul aliquot is transferred to a 384-well ELISA plate previously washed 4 times with 100 μL wash buffer, and 25 μl tracer-solution is added. After incubation overnight (20 h) at 4° C. temperature the plate is washed 4 times with 100 μl wash-buffer per well. Finally 50 μl Ellman's reagent is added to each well and the plate is incubated in the dark for 20 minutes. The absorbance is measured at 405 nm in an Envision multilabel reader and the amount of acylated ghrelin is calculated according to a acylated ghrelin standard curve provided in the same plate.Each assay plate contains wells with vehicle controls (1% DMSO) for the measurement of non-inhibited transfer reaction (=100% Ctl) and wells with 10 μM ([Dap3]-Ghrelin) as controls for fully inhibited GOAT enzymeThe analysis of the data is performed by calculation of the percentage of acyl-ghrelin produced in the presence of test compound compared to the amount of acyl-ghrelin produced in the vehicle control samples. An inhibitor of the GOAT enzyme will give values between 100% CTL (no inhibition) and 0% CTL (complete inhibition). IC50 values are calculated with Assay Explorer or other suited software based on curve fitting of results of 8 different compound concentrations.

Assay: 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.

UniProt: O60885
Assay: Time Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) Assay: The binding of compounds to bromodomain BRD4 (44-168), BRD4 (333-460), and BRD4 (1-477 or 44-460) was assessed using a time resolved fluorescent resonance energy transfer binding assay (1), that measures the binding of a fluorescently labeled probe molecule to the bromodomain protein. The bromodomain protein, fluorescent probe molecule (either a biotinylated histone peptide or a fluorescently labeled small molecule), and dose-responsed test compound are incubated together to reach thermodynamic equilibrium. In the absence of a test compound, the bromodomain and small molecule are bound, resulting in a high fluorescent signal. In the presence of a sufficient concentration of inhibitor, this intercation is disrupted resulting in a loss of fluorescent resonance energy transfer.

On the day of the assay, 50 uL of staining buffer (HBSS containing 1% FCS, 20 mM HEPES, NaHCO3: 0.375 g/L, 5 mM probenecid (Sigma) and 3 uM of the fluorescent calcium indicator fluo-4 AM (1 mM stock solution in DMSO, containing 10% pluronic) is added to each well. The 384-well cell-plates are incubated for 50 min at 37° C. in 5% CO2 followed by equilibration at rt for 30 min before measurement.Within the Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR Tetra, Molecular Devices), antagonists are added to the plate in a volume of 10 uL/well, incubated for 120 min and finally 10 uL/well of agonist is added. Fluorescence is measured for each well at 1 second intervals, and the height of each fluorescence peak is compared to the height of the fluorescence peak induced by 3 nM orexin-A with vehicle in place of antagonist. The IC50 value (the concentration of compound needed to inhibit 50% of the agonistic response) is determined and may be normalized using the obtained IC50 value of an on-plate reference compound. Optimized conditions were achieved by adjustment of pipetting speed and cell splitting regime. The calculated IC50 values may fluctuate depending on the daily cellular assay performance. Fluctuations of this kind are known to those skilled in the art. In the case where IC50 values have been determined several times for the same compound, the geometric mean has been given.

Assay: PDE10A Scintillation Proximity Assay: The following test was carried out in order to determine the activity of the compounds of the present invention. PDE10 activity of the compounds of the present invention was determined using a Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA)-based method similar to the one previously described (Fawcett, L. et al., ProcNatl Acad Sci USA (2000) 97(7):3702-3707).The human PDE10A full length assay was performed in 96-well micro titer plates. The reaction mixture of 50 μl contained 20 mM HEPES pH=7.5/10 mM MgCl2/0.05 mg/ml BSA (Sigma cat. # A-7906), 50 nM cGMP (Sigma, cat. # G6129) and 50 nM [3H]-cGMP (GE Healthcare, cat. # TRK392 S. A. 13.2 Ci/mmol), 3.75 ng/well PDE10A enzyme (Enzo Life Science, Lausen, Switzerland cat # SE-534) with or without a specific test compound. A range of concentrations of the potential inhibitor was used to generate data for calculating the concentration of inhibitor resulting in 50% of the effect (e.g. IC50, the concentration of the competitor inhibiting PDE10A activity by 50%). Non-specific activity was tested without the enzyme. The reaction was initiated by the addition of the substrate solution (cGMP and [3H]-cGMP) and allowed to progress for 20 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was terminated by adding 25 μl of YSi-SPA scintillation beads (GE Healthcare, cat. # RPNQ0150) in 18 mM zinc sulphate solution (stop reagent). After 1 h under shaking, the plate was centrifuged one minute at 170 g to allow beads to settle. Afterwards, radioactive counts were measured on a Perkin Elmer TopCount Scintillation plate reader.

Assay: Spectrophotometric Assay: This novel assay was used to determine the kinetic parameters for most of the QC substrates. QC activity was analyzed spectrophotometrically using a continuous method, that was derived by adapting a previous discontinuous assay (Bateman, R. C. J. 1989 J Neurosci Methods 30, 23-28) utilizing glutamate dehydrogenase as auxiliary enzyme. Samples consisted of the respective QC substrate, 0.3 mM NADH, 14 mM α-Ketoglutaric acid and 30 U/ml glutamate dehydrogenase in a final volume of 250 μl. Reactions were started by addition of QC and persued by monitoring of the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm for 8-15 min.The initial velocities were evaluated and the enzymatic activity was determined from a standard curve of ammonia under assay conditions. All samples were measured at 30° C., using either the SPECTRAFluor Plus or the Sunrise (both from TECAN) reader for microplates. Kinetic data was evaluated using GraFit software.
