UniProt: Q9H7B4
Assay: SMYD3 Biochemical Assay: The assays were all performed in a buffer consisting of 25 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.0, 1 mM TCEP, 0.005% BSG, and 0.005% Tween 20, prepared on the day of use. Compounds in 100% DMSO (1 ul) were spotted into a 384-well white opaque OptiPlate using a Bravo automated liquid handling platform outfitted with a 384-channel head (Agilent Technologies). DMSO (1 ul) was added to Columns 11, 12, 23, 24, rows A-H for the maximum signal control and 1 ul of SAH, a known product and inhibitor of SMYD3, was added to columns 11, 12, 23, 24, rows I-P for the minimum signal control. A cocktail (40 ul) containing the SMYD3 enzyme was added by Multidrop Combi (Thermo-Fisher). The compounds were allowed to incubate with SMYD3 for 30 min at room temperature, then a cocktail (10 ul) containing SAM and MEKK2 was added to initiate the reaction (final volume=51 ul). The final concentrations of the components were as follows: SMYD3 was 0.4 nM, 3H-SAM was 8 nM, MEKK2 was 12 nM, SAH in the minimum signal control wells was 1 mM, and the DMSO concentration was 2%. The assays were stopped by the addition of non-radiolabeled SAM (10 ul) to a final concentration of 100 uM, which dilutes the 3H-SAM to a level where its incorporation into MEKK2 is no longer detectable. Radiolabeled MEKK2 was detected using a scintillation proximity assay (SPA). 10 uL of a 10 mg/mL solution of SPA beads in 0.5 M citric acid was added and the plates centrifuged at 600 rpm for 1 min to precipitate the radiolabeled MEKK2 onto the SPA beads. The plates were then read in a PerkinElmer TopCount plate reader to measure the quantity of 3H-labeled MEKK2 as disintegrations per minute (dpm) or alternatively, referred to as counts per minute (cpm).

Target: Toll-like receptor 7 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q9NYK1
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.

Target: Vasopressin V1a receptor (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P37288
Assay: Cellular In Vitro Assay for Determining Vasopressin V1a Receptor Activity: The identification of agonists and antagonists of the V1a and V2 vasopressin receptors from humans, rats and dogs as well as the quantification of the activity of the compounds of the invention is carried out using recombinant cell lines. These cell lines originally derive from a hamster's ovary epithelial cell (Chinese Hamster Ovary, CHO K1, ATCC: American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Va. 20108, USA). The test cell lines constitutively express the human, rat or dog V1a or V2 receptors. In case of the Gαq-coupled V1a receptors, cells are also stably transfected with a modified form of the calcium-sensitive photoproteins aequorin (human and rat V1a) or obelin (dog V1a), which, after reconstitution with the cofactor coelenterazine, emit light when there are increases in free calcium concentrations [Rizzuto R, Simpson A W, Brini M, Pozzan T, Nature 358, 325-327 (1992); Illarionov B A, Bondar V S, Illarionova V A, Vysotski E S, Gene 153 (2), 273-274 (1995)]. The resulting vasopressin receptor cells react to stimulation of the recombinantly expressed V1a receptors by intracellular release of calcium ions, which can be quantified by the resulting photoprotein luminescence. The Gs-coupled V2 receptors are stably transfected into cell lines expressing the gene for firefly luciferase under control of a CRE-responsible promoter. Activation of V2 receptors induces the activation of the CRE-responsive promoter via cAMP increase, thereby inducing the expression of firefly luciferase. The light emitted by photoproteins of V1a cell lines as well as the light emitted by firefly luciferase of V2 cell lines corresponds to the activation or inhibition of the respective vasopressin receptor. The bioluminescence of the cell lines is detected using a suitable luminometer [Milligan G, Marshall F, Rees S, Trends in Pharmacological Sciences 17, 235-237 (1996)].Vasopressin V2 Receptor Cell Lines:On the day before the assay, the cells are plated out in culture medium (DMEM/F12, 2% FCS, 2 mM glutamine, 10 mM HEPES) in 384-well microtiter plates and kept in a cell incubator (96% humidity, 5% v/v CO2, 37° C.). On the day of the assay, test compounds in various concentrations and the agonist [Arg8]-vasopressin at EC50 concentration are added together to the wells, and plates are incubated for 3 hours in a cell incubator. Upon addition of the cell lysis reagent Triton and the substrate luciferin, luminescence of firefly luciferase is measured in a luminometer.

Assay: Intracellular cAMP Accumulation Assay: HEK293 cells stably expressing human APJ receptor were used to assess the activity of compounds. 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: 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.

Assay: In Vitro Enzymatic BACE1 and BACE2 FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) Assays: The cDNAs for both human recombinant BACE1 and 2 with C-terminal 6-His Tags were cloned into transient protein expression vectors, which were subsequently transfected into mammalian cell lines. These recombinant proteins were further purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography (Qiagen). The assay buffer used in these screens was 0.05 M acetate, pH 4.5, 8% DMSO final, 100 μM genapol (which is a nonionic detergent, below its Critical Micelle Concentration). The β-secretase enzyme (0.02 nM for BACE1 and 0.64 nM for BACE2), which was pre-incubated for one hour with the test compound, typically in about 1 uL of DMSO according to a serial dilution, was added thereto. The assay was effectively started by the addition of FRET substrate (50 nM) and the combination was incubated for one hour. The FRET assay was terminated by the addition of tris buffer, which raised the pH to neutrality, and the fluorescence was determined. The FRET substrate was a peptide with commercially available fluorophore and quencher, on opposite sides of the BACE cleavage site. The specific FRET substrate used in this assay was made by Amgen in-house. Commercially available FRET substrates, for example, the FRET substrate offered with the BACE1 FRET Assay Kit sold by ThermoFisher Scientific (Catalog Number P2985), may be used in this assay with the appropriate modifications, which are within the purview of the ability of a person with ordinary skill in the art. Proteolytic cleavage of the FRET substrate released quenching of fluorescence (excitation 488 nm and emission 590 nm).
