Target: Serine/threonine-protein kinase TBK1 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q9UHD2
Assay: TBK1 and IKKE Biological Assays: Enzymatic activity of IKKε and TBK1 was measured using a homogeneous time resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay that monitors enzyme dependent phosphorylation of a biotinylated serine/threonine peptide substrate. An increase in the amount of phosphorylated peptide results in an increase in TR-FRET signal. TBK1 and IKKε were expressed and purified as full length recombinant proteins. Detection reagents for the assay were purchased from Cisbio. TBK1 and IKKε enzymes were assayed under initial rate conditions in the presence of 2×Km ATP (40-80 μM) and 1 μM peptide, hepes (pH 7), 0.1 mM orthovanadate, 0.02% NaN3, 0.01% BSA, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% (v/v) tritonX, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5% (v/v) DMSO at the following concentrations for each enzyme: TBK1 at 2.5 nM and IKKε at 0.3 nM. After an assay reaction time of 240 minutes at 25° C., reactions were terminated with EDTA.Amount of phosphorylated peptide was determined by the addition of 125 nM streptavidin XL665 and europium cryptate labeled anti-phospho monoclonal antibody and the resulting TR-FRET signal was recorded on an Envision plate reader (Ex: 340 nm; Em: 615/665 nm; 100 μs delay and 200 μs read window). Data was normalized based on a positive (1 μM Staurosporine) and negative (DMSO) controls and IC50 values calculated from the fit of the dose-response curves to a four-parameter equation. All IC50 values represent geometric mean values of a minimum of four determinations.

Target: Tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P23458
Assay: Biochemical HTRF Assay : The ability of compounds to inhibit the activity of JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and Tyk2 was measured using a recombinant purified GST-tagged catalytic domain for each enzyme (Invitrogen JAK1 #M4290, JAK2 #M4290, JAK3 #M4290, Tyk2 #M4290) in an HTRF format biochemical assay. The reactions employed a common peptide substrate, LCB-EQEDEPEGDYFEWLW-NH2 (in-house). The basic assay protocol is as follows: First, 250 nL of diluted compounds in DMSO were dispensed into the wells of a dry 384-well Black plate (Greiner #781076) using a Labcyte Echo 555 acoustic dispenser. Subsequent reagent additions employed an Agilent Bravo. Next, 18 μL of 1.11× enzyme and 1.11× substrate in 1× assay buffer (Invitrogen kinase buffer #PV3189, 2 mM DTT, 0.05% BSA) were added to the wells and shaken and then preincubated for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow compound binding to equilibrate. After equilibration, 2 μL of 10×ATP in 1× assay buffer was added to initiate the kinase reaction and the plates were shaken and then incubated at room temperature for 120 minutes. At the end of the incubation, 20 μL of 2× stop buffer (streptavidin-Dylight 650 (Thermo #84547B/100 mL), Eu-tagged pY20 antibody (Perkin Elmer #AD0067), EDTA, HEPES, and Triton) was added to quench the reaction. Plates were shaken and centrifuged and then incubated 60 minutes at room temperature and then read on a Perkin Elmer Envision (λex=337 nm, λem=665 and 615 nm, TRF delay time=20 μs). HTRF signal=10,000*665 nm reading/615 nm reading.

UniProt: Q13133
Assay: LXR alpha/beta Radioligand Binding Assay: Compounds of the invention were assessed in a competition binding assay where different concentrations of compounds were incubated with the LXR ligand binding domain (LBD) in the presence of radiolabeled LXR ligand [3H]TO901317. The amount of the LXR-LBD that complexed with [3H]T0901317 was measured by scintillation proximity assay (SPA) employing non-specific binding of LXR-LBD to poly-lysine coated Yttrium silicate beads. Partially purified LXR α or β LBD protein (15-45 nM) was incubated at rt for 30 min with 15 nM [3H]TO901317 (25-40 Ci/mmol) and different concentrations of test compounds in 80 μL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) buffer containing 2.5% DMSO, 1% glycerol, 2 mM EDTA, 2 mM CHAPS and 5 mM DTT in 96-well plates. Poly-lysine SPA beads (50 μg) were added to each well and the total volume was adjusted to 120 μL. The plates were shaken on an orbital shaker for 20 min and then allowed to settle for 10 more min at rt before a brief centrifugation at 2,000 rpm for 1 min. The SPA signal was measured on a MicroBeta® liquid scintillation counter (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, Mass.), and the results were used for calculating IC50 values based on the total binding (DMSO control) and non-specific binding (5 μM of unlabeled TO901317) controls. The Ki values were calculated according to equation 1, where [RL] is the final concentration of [3H]TO901317 in the assay, and the Kd values of 20 nM and 10 nM of TO901317 for LBDs of LXRα and LXRβ, respectively, were determined by direct titration of the radioligand with these proteins.

Target: Endothelial lipase (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q9Y5X9
Assay: Biological Activity: Endothelial lipase (EL) and hepatic lipase (HL) activities were measured using a fluorescent substrate, A10070, (Invitrogen, CA) doped into an artificial vesicle containing DMPG (Avanti Polar Lipids) as the excipient. Vesicles were prepared by combining 571 μL of 29 mM DMPG in a 1:1 mixture of MeOH and CHCl3 with 2000 μL of 1 mM A10070 in a 1:1 mixture of MeOH and CHCl3. The mixture was dried under nitrogen in multiple vials then resuspended in 20 mL total volume of 50 mM HEPES pH 8.0 buffer containing 50 mM NaCl and 0.2 mM EDTA. The sample was allowed to sit at room temperature for 15 min and then was sonicated 3×4 mins on ice with a Branson Sonicator using duty cycle 1. This preparation provides vesicles with a mole fraction of 0.11 for the FRET substrate.The enzymatic assay was measured using 384-well white Optiplates. Each well contained 20 μL of assay buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 50 mM NaCl and 1 mM CaCl2) and 0.25 μL of a DMSO solution containing a compound of interest. EL or HL (10 μL) was added and allowed to incubate with the compound for 30 min at 37° C. The source of EL was conditioned media obtained from HT-1080 cells that were transformed using RAGE technology (Athersys) to overexpress endogenous EL, and HL was partially purified from conditioned media obtained from COS cells overexpressing HL. The reaction was started by the addition of 10 μL of a 1:10 dilution of vesicles. The final total reaction volume was 20.25 μL. The reaction rates were measured on a Gemini plate reader with an excitation wavelength of 490 nm and an emission wavelength of 530 nm. Readings were taken over a period of 60 minutes, and the slope between 300 and 900 secs of the readout was used to calculate the rate of the reaction.

Assay: In Vitro Functional Activity (Agonism) on Human 51P5 Receptors: The CHO-human-S1P5-Aeqorin assay was bought from Euroscreen, Brussels (Euroscreen, Technical dossier, Human Lysophospholid S1P5 (Edg8) receptor, DNA clone and CHO AequoScreen recombinant cell-line, catalog n°: ES-593-A, September 2006). Human-S1P5-Aequorin cells express mitochondrial targeted apo-Aequorin. Cells have to be loaded with coelanterazine, in order to reconstitute active Aequorin. After binding of agonists to the human S1P5 receptor the intracellular calcium concentration increases and binding of calcium to the apo-Aequorin/coelenterazine complex leads to an oxidation reaction of coelenterazine, which results in the production of apo-Aequorin, coelenteramide, CO2 and light (␣max 469 nm). This luminescent response is dependent on the agonist concentration. Luminescence is measured using the MicroBeta Jet (Perkin Elmer). Agonistic effects of compounds are expressed as pEC50. Compounds were tested at a 10 points half log concentration range, and 3 independent experiments were performed in single point's measurements.

Assay: AAK1 Kinase Assay: The assays were performed in U-bottom 384-well plates. The final assay volume was 30 μl prepared from 15 μl additions of enzyme and substrates (fluoresceinated peptide (5-FAM)-Aha-KEEQSQITSQVTGQIGWR-NH2 and ATP) and test compounds in assay buffer (10 mM Tris-HCL pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Tween-20 and 1.0 mM DTT). The reactions were initiated by the combination of bacterially expressed, GST-Xa-hAAK1 with substrates and test compounds. The reactions were incubated at room temperature for 3 hours and terminated by adding 60 μl of 35 mM EDTA buffer to each sample. The reactions were analyzed on the Caliper LabChip 3000 (Caliper, Hopkinton, Mass.) by electrophoretic separation of the fluorescent substrate and phosphorylated product. Inhibition data were calculated by comparison to EDTA quenched control reactions for 100% inhibition and vehicle-only reactions for 0% inhibition. The final concentration of reagents in the assays are ATP, 22 μM; (5-FAM)-Aha-KEEQSQITSQVTGQIGWR-NH2, 1.5 μM; GST-Xa-hAAK1, 3.5 nM; and DMSO, 1.6%. Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required inhibiting 50% of kinase activity (IC50). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and evaluated at eleven concentrations. IC50 values were derived by non-linear regression analysis.

Assay: iochemical Assay: Compounds of the invention may be tested for in vitro activity in the following assay: A histone H4 derived peptide is used as substrate (amino acid sequence: Ser-Gly-Arg-Gly-Lys-Gly-Gly-Lys-Gly-Leu-Gly-Lys-Gly-Gly-Ala-Lys-Arg-His-Arg-Lys-Val-NH2). Full-length PRMT5 enzyme (NCBI Reference sequence NP-006100.2) was co-expressed with Hiss-MEP50 in insect cells and purified via Nickel immobilized metal affinity and gel filtration chromatograph.The 6 μL assay reactions are run in Greiner brand black 384-well low volume plates. All reactions contained assay buffer (phosphate buffered saline, 0.01% (v/v) Tween-20, 0.01% (w/v) albumin from chicken egg white, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 200 nM peptide substrate, 1 μM S-Adenosyl methionine, and 15 ng/reaction enzyme, with the enzyme being omitted from negative control reactions. Compounds were added in a volume of 100 nL from dilution series prepared in DMSO, positive and negative control reactions receiving the same volume DMSO without compound. The plates were sealed with adhesive seals and incubated for 4 hours at 37° C. Reaction progress was measured using the Transcreener™ EPIGEN methyltransferase assay (BellBrook Labs, Madison, Wis.) as recommended by the manufacturer. To each reaction 2 μL detection mix were added, containing coupling enzymes, fluorescence polarisation tracer, and AMP antibody. Plates were incubated for 90 min before being read on a PerkinElmer EnVision™ plate reader in fluorescence polarisation mode. IC50 values were obtained from the raw readings by calculating percent inhibition (% I) for each reaction relative to controls on the same plate (% I=(I−CN)/(CP−CN) where CN/CP are the averages of the negative/positive reactions, respectively), then fitting the % I data vs. compound concentration [I] to % I=(A+((B−A)/(1+((C/[I])^D)))) where A is the lower asymptote, B is the upper asymptote, C is the IC50 value, and D is the slope.

Assay: Standard cell-based calcium flux 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 137 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 0.5 mM MgCl2 (standard assay) or 1.5 mM MgCl2 (HTS assay), 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 (137 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 EC40 (standard assay) is used to maximize the assay's signal window and ability to detect NMDA receptor antagonists and negative allosteric modulators. 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: PDK1 kinase assay: PDK1 (amino acids 51-359) and AKT2 (amino acids 140-467 fused to PIFtide, amino acids EEQEMFRDFDYIADW) were expressed as N-terminally tagged GST fusion proteins in insect cells and purified to homogeneity. Enzyme activity was determined in a coupled PDK1/AKT/FAM-crosstide assay and phosphorylation of FAM-crosstide was determined by standard IMAP protocol (Molecular Devices). For inhibition studies, compounds were titrated 4-fold in DMSO and diluted 40-fold into assay buffer (10 mM Tris HCl pH7.2; 10 mM MgCl2; 0.01% Triton X-100; 1 mM DTT) containing PDK1, AKT2, and FAM-crosstide (final concentrations: 0.75 nM PDK1, 10 nM unphosphorylated AKT2, and 100 nM crosstide substrate). The kinase reaction was initiated by adding ATP to a final concentration of 40 μM of PDK1 and incubated at 25° C. for 30 min. To detect assay product, the kinase reaction was combined with Progressive Binding Solution (1:600 Progressive Binding Reagent, 50% Buffer A, 50% Buffer B, Molecular Devices) in a 1:3 ratio. The mixture was incubated for 2 hours at 25° C. and the plate was scanned on an Analyst AD with excitation at 485 nm and emission at 530 nm. The fluorescence polarization value P is defined by the equation below. The value mP is generated by multiplying the P value for each reaction well by a factor of 1000. The value ΔmP for each well is the mP value for that well minus the mP value for the average negative control. P=(Fpar−Fperp)/(Fpar+Fperp)  Eq.:Where par is fluorescence intensity parallel to the excitation plane; and perp is fluorescence intensity perpendicular to the excitation plane. ΔmP values were plotted as a function of compound concentration and the data were analyzed with a 4-parameter fit using GraphPad Prism software.

Assay: Intracellular Calcium Measurement to Assess Antagonist Activity at Human P2X3 and Human P2X2/3 Receptors: A fluorescent imaging plate reader (FLEX/FLIPR station; Molecular Devices) was used to monitor intracellular calcium levels using the calcium-chelating dye Fluo-4 (Molecular Probes). The excitation and emission wavelengths used to monitor fluorescence were 470-495 nm and 515-575 nm, respectively. Cells expressing purinergic receptors P2X3 (human) or P2X2/3 (human) were plated at a density of 15,000 cells/well in collagen-coated 384-well plates approximately 20 hours before beginning the assay. On the day of the assay, 20 μl of loading buffer (Hank's balanced salt solution, 20 mM HEPES, 0.5 mM CaCl2, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, 5 mM probenecid, 10 mM D-glucose monohydrate, 2 μM Fluo-4, and 5 units/mL, hexokinase, pH=7.4) was added and cells dye-loaded for 90 min at 37° C. The dye supernatant was removed and replaced with 45 μl probenecid buffer (Hank's balanced salt solution, 20 mM HEPES, 0.5 mM CaCl2, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, 5 mM probenecid, 10 mM D-glucose monohydrate, pH=7.4). The test compound was added in a volume of 5 μl and allowed to incubate for 30 min at 37° C. The final assay DMSO concentration is 1%. The agonist, α,β-Me-ATP, was added in a volume of 20 μl at a concentration representing the EC80 value. The fluorescence was measured for an interval of 90 sec at 2 sec intervals and analyzed based on the increase in peak relative fluorescence units (RFU) compared to the basal fluorescence. Peak fluorescence was used to determine the response to agonist obtained at each concentration of test compound by the following equation: % Response=100*(RFU(test compound)−RFU(control))/(RFU(DMSO)−RFU(control))The Examples were tested in triplicates per plate and mean values were plotted in Excel XLFit to determine IC50 values at the human P2X3 and human P2X2/3 receptors, percentage of maximal inhibition and the Hill coefficients.

Assay: transient human FXR/Gal4-luciferase reporter assay: A Gal4-hFXR fusion construct reporter system was used as the primary assay to characterize compound activity. A construct including 5 copies of the Gal4 promoter response element upstream of a firefly luciferase reporter cDNA was stably expressed in HEK293 cells. This reporter cell line was maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; Gibco) supplemented with 1% penicillin-streptomycin (P/S) solution, 500 μg/ml Zeocin and 10% charcoal/dextran-treated fetal bovine serum (cs-FBS) at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. Another plasmid was constructed in which the human cytomegalovirus promoter in the pcDNA3.1 vector directs the expression of the cDNA encoding a fusion protein comprised of the DNA binding domain from the Gal4 transcription factor fused to the ligand binding domain from human FXR.The day prior to transfection, the reporter cells in culture are detached from the plate with trypsin and plated into a T75 flask at a sufficient density to achieve approximately 90% confluence the next morning. The transfection reagents are prepared by separately diluting 25 μg of the pcDNA3.1-Gal4-FXR plasmid into 1.87 mL of Opti-MEM (Thermo-Fisher), and 40 μL of Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo-Fisher) into 1.87 mL of Opti-MEM, and then adding the diluted DNA solution into the diluted Lipofectamine 2000 solution and incubating at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. The mixture is further diluted with 10 mL of a solution comprised of DMEM, 10% cs-FBS, and 1% P/S immediately prior to transferring to the cells. The maintenance culture media is aspirated from the cells and the final transfection mixture is added before the cells are incubated overnight at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. This protocol can be scaled up, and the transiently transfected cells can be cryopreserved in an assay-ready format.For compound testing, 100 nL of the compounds (serial dilutions in DMSO) are dispensed with an Echo acoustic dispenser (Labcyte) into the wells of a Corning/Costar clear bottom 384-well white plate. The transfected cells are harvested, counted, and diluted such that 10-25,000 cells in 25 μL are plated into each well of the 384-well compound assay plate. The compound-treated cells are incubated overnight at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. The next morning 25 μL of Steady-Glo (Promega) are added to each well of the plate, the mixture is incubated for 15 min. with shaking, and luminescence is measured on an Envision (Perkin Elmer) plate reader. Background counts from cells treated with DMSO alone are subtracted from all raw counts, and the corrected values are converted to a percentage of the control response attained with 8 μM GW-4064. These data are fit to a 4-parameter log agonist-response equation to calculate an EC50 value.
