InChIKey: PXSPIPWMEYLBOD-JTQLQIEISA-N
Target: Beta-2 adrenergic receptor (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P07550
Assay: cAMP Gs dynamic HTRF assay: Compound preparation. Candidate beta-adrenergic compounds, dissolved to 10 mM in DMSO, were diluted in 1× stimulation buffer 1 (Cisbio Part #64SB1FDD) containing 1 mM 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthene (IBMX; Cayman Chemical Company, catalog #13347). Serial dilutions were made in a 96 well V-bottom polypropylene compound microplate (Corning, catalog #3363) in stimulation buffer containing 1 mM IBMX, to 2× of the final desired concentration. Standard serial dilution curves were 10-point, 5-fold dilutions starting from a highest concentration of 10 μM. Controls present on every assay plate were 0.1% DMSO (vehicle control), 1 μM isoproterenol (full beta-adrenergic agonist control) and 15 μM xamoterol (partial beta-adrenergic agonist control). 5 μL from the 2× compound plate was stamped into a white 384 round well small volume HiBase assay plate (Greiner Bio-One; catalog #784075) to provide 4 technical replicates per concentration, per compound. Assay plates were centrifuged at 500×g for 10 seconds. Compounds and IBMX were prepared at 2× final dose to compensate for addition of cells.Cell preparation. 1× stimulation buffer, washing PBS (Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline, −Mg −Ca; Caisson Labs, catalog #PBL01), assay PBS (Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline, +Mg, +Ca; Caisson Labs, catalog #PBL02) and Versene (0.02% EDTA disodium salt solution in PBS without calcium or magnesium; Caisson Labs, catalog #EDL01) were pre-warmed to 37° C. Cells expressing beta-adrenergic receptor were washed in washing PBS to remove growth medium and then released from the surface by incubating with Versene for 5-10 minutes at 37° C. Cells were harvested using assay PBS, counted manually by hemocytometer or by an automated cell counter, pelleted by centrifugation (200×g, 5 minutes) and resuspended in 37° C. 1× stimulation buffer to a final density of 1.5×10{circumflex over ( )}6 cells/mL. 5 μL of the suspended cell solution (7500 cell total) were added to all wells of the 384 well assay plate, the assay plate was covered with an Axygen® plate seal (Corning PCR-SP) and incubated in a humidified 37° C. environment supplemented with 5% CO2 for 30 minutes.HTRF reagent addition, reading and data analysis. After 30 minutes of cell stimulation with test compound, the assay plates were centrifuged at 500×g for 10 seconds, and incubation was stopped with the addition of 5 μL cAMP-D2 acceptor, diluted 1:21 in detection and lysis buffer 2 (Cisbio 62CL2FDF) was added to all cells. Subsequently, 5 μL Anti-cAMP-Eu Donor, diluted 1:21 in detection and lysis buffer 2, was added to cells. Plates were sealed and reactions gently vortexed at 900 rpm on a Heidolph Titramax 1000 for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. Plates were centrifuged again at 500×g for 10 seconds, and HTRF was measured using a Tecan Spark plate reader at 50 flashes per well. HTRF ratios (665 nm/620 nm×10,000) were determined and plotted in GraphPad Prism to generate a concentration-effect curve. Potency estimates (EC50) were derived from the four-parameter nonlinear regression of the concentration-effect curve and an estimate of relative efficacy was determined by comparing the magnitude of the test compound HTRF signal window (min−max dose) with the signal window of the full agonist control, isoproterenol.
