Target: Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P25106
Assay: Serum Binding Analysis: In order to more properly assess the binding efficacy of the compounds, radioligand binding assays were carried out in the presence of 100% human serum to more accurately reflect the in vivo environment. While observed IC50 values are typically lower than those reported for buffer binding assays, the relevance of the assay for ranking of compound efficacy is enhanced. Target compounds were tested to determine their ability to bind with CXCR7 sites on MCF-7 and/or MDA-MB-435S CXCR7 transfected cells. Efficiency-maxim/zed radioligand binding using filtration protocols as described in Dairaghi D J, et al., HHV8-encoded vMIP-I selectively engages chemokine receptor CCR5. Agonist and antagonist profiles of viral chemokines., J. Biol. Chem. 1999 Jul. 30; 274(31): 21569-74 and Gosling J, et al., Cutting edge: identification of a novel chemokine receptor that binds dendritic cell- and T cell-active chemokines including ELC, SLC, and TECK, J. Immunol. 2000 Mar. 15; 164(6):2851-6 was used.In these assays, MCF-7 and/or MDA-MB-435S cells were interrogated with the target compounds and the ability of these compounds to displace 125 I radiolabeled SDF-1 was assessed using the protocol described in Dairaghi and Gosling. The target compounds were added to the plate to the indicated concentration followed by addition of cells and radiolabeled chemokine (125I SDF-1), both in the following medium (human AB serum with 10 mM HEPES added to stabilize at pH 7.4). All assays were then incubated for 3 hrs at 4° C. with gentle agitation. Following incubation in all binding assays, reactions were aspirated onto PEI-treated GF/B glass filters (Packard) using a cell harvester (Packard) and washed twice (25 mM HEPES, 500 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 5 mM MgCl2, adjusted to pH 7.1). Scintillant (MicroScint 10, Packard) was added to the wells, and the filters were counted in a Packard Topcount scintillation counter. Data were analyzed and plotted using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software).

UniProt: O00444
Assay: Inhibition Assay: Active PLK4 was purified from an E. coli expression system as an amino terminal GST fusion of residues 1-391 of human PLK4. The protein was purified from clarified cell extracts after induction at 15° C. overnight using glutathione sepharose, gel permeation chromatography, and ion exchange (Resource Q). The resulting protein was dephosphorylated with lambda phosphatase (NEB cat #P0753), and resolved from the phosphatase using gluthione sepharose. The dephosphorylated GST-PLK4 was stored in aliquots at −80° C. until use.PLK4 activity was measured using an indirect ELISA detection system. Dephosphorylated GST-PLK4 (4 nM) was incubated in the presence of 15 μM ATP (Sigma cat #A7699), 50 mM HEPES-Na2+ pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Brij 35 (Sigma cat #03-3170), in a 96 well microtitre plate pre-coated with MBP (Millipore cat #30-011). The reaction was allowed to proceed for 30 minutes, followed by 5 washes of the plate with Wash Buffer (50 mM TRIS-Cl pH 7.4 and 0.2% Tween 20), and incubation for 30 minutes with a 1:3000 dilution of primary antibody (Cell Signaling cat #9381). The plate was washed 5 times with Wash Buffer, incubated for 30 minutes in the presence of secondary antibody coupled to horse radish peroxidase (BioRad cat #1721019, 1:3000 concentration), washed an additional 5 times with Wash Buffer, and incubated in the presence of TMB substrate (Sigma cat #T0440).

Assay: Nav 1.7 In Vitro Patch Express (PX) Assay: HEK 293 cells stably transfected with human Nav1.7 were recorded in whole cell voltage clamp mode with the PatchXpress automated electrophysiology system (Molecular Devices, LLC, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Compound effects were measured on a partially inactivated state of the sodium channel. Cells were clamped to a holding potential yielding 20 to 50% inactivation. To elicit sodium current, channels were activated by pulsing to −10 mV for 20 msec. This voltage protocol was repeated at a rate of 0.1 Hz throughout the experiment. A single concentration of test compound was applied to cells for a duration of 3 minutes. Peak sodium current was measured at the end of the compound addition period to determine percent inhibition. Three to five cells were tested per concentration, and IC50 curves were fitted to percent inhibition as a function of concentration.

UniProt: P05186
Assay: Enzyme Kinetic Assay: To determine the inhibition selectivity for inhibitor candidates, human TNAP, PLAP or IAP were added to microtiter plates followed by addition of the substrate pNPP (0.5 mM) and activity was measured in 1 M DEA-HCl buffer, pH 9.8 or in 1 M Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.5, containing 1 mM MgCl2 and 20 μM ZnCl2, in the presence of potential inhibitors (0-30 μM). TNAP, PLAP and IAP activities were adjusted to an approximate λA405 nm, equivalent to 1, measured after 30 min. Residual AP activity in the presence of inhibitors was expressed as percentage of the control activity. To investigate the mechanism of inhibition, double reciprocal plots of enzyme activity (expressed as mA405 nm min−1) vs. substrate concentration were constructed, in the presence of various concentrations of added inhibitors (0-30 μM). The y-axis intercepts of the 1/v vs. 1/[S] plots, were then plotted vs. [I] to graphically extract Ki values as the x-intercept in this plot. The numerical values from y- and x-intercepts were derived via linear regression analysis, using software Prism 3.02 (GraphPad Software, CA). These analyses were performed, using pNPP as a substrate in 1 M DEA-HCl buffer, pH 9.8, as well as in 1 M Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.5, to determine Ki at optimal and physiological pH respectively. Inhibitors were further tested and sorted based on their kinetic properties at pH 7.4 using PPi, the relevant natural substrate of TNAP. In this part of the study, pyrophosphate sodium salt (99% ACS reagent, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, Mo.) was used as a substrate. Amounts of released phosphate were measured using the Biomol Green Reagent (Biomol Research Laboratories, Inc., Plymouth Meeting, Pa.). Finally, to document the potency of selected inhibitors in physiological media, TNAP inhibition by compounds of Formula I-IV (0-30 μM) was studied at pH 7.4, during catalysis of 0.1 mM pNPP, in the presence of increasing concentrations of Na2HPO4 (0-10 mM) and pyrophosphate (0-40 mM).

Target: Glutaminase kidney isoform, mitochondrial (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: O94925
Assay: Enzymatic Activity Assay: The inhibition of purified recombinant human GAC by varying concentrations of inhibitors is assessed via a dual-coupled enzymatic assay. The glutamate produced by the glutaminase reaction is used by glutamate oxidase to produce α-ketoglutarate, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide, with this hydrogen peroxide subsequently being used by horseradish peroxidase to produce resorufin in the presence of Amplex UltraRed. The assay buffer consisted of 50 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), 0.25 mM EDTA and 0.1 mM Triton X-100. GAC was incubated with potassium phosphate (10 minutes at room temperature) prior to incubation with inhibitor (10 minutes at room temperature). The final reaction conditions were as follows: 2 nM GAC, 50 mM potassium phosphate, 100 mU/mL glutamate oxidase (Sigma), 1 mM glutamine (Sigma), 100 mU/mL horseradish peroxidase (Sigma), 75 μM Amplex UltraRed (Life Technologies), and 1% (v/v) DMSO. The production of resorufin was monitored on a Perkin Elmer Envision plate reader (excitation 530 nm, emission 590 nm) either in a kinetics or endpoint mode (at 20 minutes). IC50 values were calculated using a four-parameter logistic curve fit.

Assay: ERalpha Binding Assay: Compounds were dosed directly from a compound source microplate containing serially diluted compound (4 wells containing 10 mM, 0.1 mM, 1 mM and 10 nM final compound respectively) to an assay microplate using the Labcyte Echo 550. The Echo 550 is a liquid handler that uses acoustic technology to perform direct microplate-to-microplate transfers of DMSO compound solutions and the system can be programmed to transfer multiple small nL volumes of compound from the different source plate wells to give the desired serial dilution of compound in the assay which is then back-filled to normalise the DMSO concentration across the dilution range.In total 120 nL of compound plus DMSO were added to each well and compounds were tested in a 12-point concentration response format over a final compound concentration range of 10, 2.917, 1.042, 0.2083, 0.1, 0.0292, 0.0104, 0.002083, 0.001, 0.0002917, 0.0001042, and 0.00001 μM respectively. TR-FRET dose response data obtained with each compound was exported into a suitable software package (such as Origin or Genedata) to perform curve fitting analysis. Competitive ER alpha binding was expressed as an IC50 value. This was determined by calculation of the concentration of compound that was required to give a 50% reduction in tracer compound binding to ER alpha-LBD.

Assay: Inhibiting SOS1-Mediated GTP Nucleotide Exchange by Blocking Mant-GDP Exchange: Table 24: This Example illustrates that exemplary compounds of the present invention prevent KRas-mediated GTP nucleotide exchange mediated by SOS1 to inhibit KRas activity thereby inhibiting the generation of the downstream effector pERK. MKN1 cells (15,000/w) or H358 (30,000/w) were seeded in a black clear flat bottom 96-well cell culture plate (Corning, #3904) and incubated at 37° C. overnight. Assay day 1, cells were dosed with compounds of Formula (I) with a 10 μm starting concentration and serially diluted 3× for a total of 9 concentrations. The cells were incubated for approximately 0.5-1 hour with the compounds solubilized in DMSO at 37° C. Cells were immediately fixed by adding 50 μL of 4% formaldehyde to all wells in a fume hood and the plates were incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature. The formaldehyde was discarded from the plates and 150 μL of ice-cold methanol was added to permeabilize the cells for 10 minutes at −20° C. The methanol was discarded from each of the plates and any liquid remaining in the plate by tapping the plate against paper towels. Cells were then blocked with 150 μL of Odyssey blocking buffer (LI-COR Biosciences #927-50010) using 0.05% Tween for 1 hour at room temperature on a shaker. The blocking buffer was discarded and 50 μL of primary antibodies pERK (cell signaling Technology #9101L; Rabbit, 1:500) and GapDH (Millipore #MAB34; Mouse, 1:5000) diluted in Odyssey blocking buffer was added. The plates were incubated overnight at 4° C. on a shaker. On Assay Day 2, the primary antibody solution was removed. Each plate was washed 3× times with 150 μL of 1×PBST (PBS+0.1% Tween 20) and incubated with 50 μL of secondary antibodies: Anti-Rabbit (LI-COR Biosciences #926-32211) and Anti-Mouse (LI-COR Biosciences #68070) at 1:800 dilution in Odyssey blocking buffer with Tween at room temperature on a shaker for 2 hours (protected from light). The secondary antibody solution as removed and each plate was washed with PBST 3× times. Any liquid remaining was discarded and the plate was imaged using the Licor Odyssey machine according to the manufacturer's instruction, using a set focus length at 3 mm and both 800 nm and 700 nm filters. The GAPDH normalized scan values for each well were divided by the average of vehicle wells to get the % of pERK inhibition. The IC50 values were then calculated with the Graph pad 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)).

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.

Assay: Enzymatic Inhibition Assay: 11-point dosing series were made for each compound by serially diluting 1:3 or 1:4 in DMSO, with point 12 being a DMSO control. From the serial dilution plates, sample was transferred to a 384 wells assay plate (#781280, Greiner, Monroe, N.C.) using Labcyte Echo (Sunnyvale, Calif.), or Biosero ATS (San Diego, Calif.). The compounds were tested in duplicate. Column 12 was used for positive controls, and column 24 contained negative controls with no enzyme added. A compound from our internal collection, with inhibitory activity for JAK isoforms, was used as a reference compound. The final concentration of DMSO was ≤0.25% in a 20 μL reaction. Assay conditions for each of the proteins are summarized in Table 3. The enzyme reaction was initiated by the addition of 10 μL of 2× enzyme and ATP mixture to 10 μL of 2× substrate solution prepared in reaction buffer (50 mM MOPS pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 2 mM DTT, 0.002% Tween-20). The Tyk2 enzyme was pre-incubated with 2 mM ATP for 30 min prior to the reaction initiation. Immediately after the addition of the enzyme to the reaction mixture, the plate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute and incubated at 25° C. for 45 minutes for JAK 3 and 90 minutes for JAK1, JAK2 and Tyk2. The reaction was quenched by the addition of 20 μL of 0.5% TFA containing 0.15 μM of internal standard peptide using Multidrop Combi reagent dispenser (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Mass.). Several wells in column 24 were typically used for the product standard curve. After the quench, the assay plate was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes and sealed with pierceable aluminum foil (Cat #06644-001, Agilent) using a PlateLoc (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, Calif.). The plates then were transferred on to the RapidFire for the MS analysis. Compound inhibition was assessed by a decrease of the phosphorylated product levels in sample wells compared to the non-inhibited enzyme reaction.

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.

An aliquot of 250 nL of compound was incubated with 10 μL of 30 nM IDH1-R132H or 10 nM IDH1-R132C recombinant protein in assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH=7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% (w/v) Bovine Serum Albumin, and 0.01% Triton X-100) in each well at 25° C. for 15 minutes. After the plate was centrifuged briefly, an aliquot of 10 μL of 2 mM α-ketoglutarate and 20 μM NADPH solution prepared in assay buffer was then added to each well and the reaction was maintained at 25° C. for 45 minutes. An aliquot of 10 μL of diaphorase solution (0.15 U/mL diaphorase and 30 M Resazurin in assay buffer) was added to each well. The plate was maintained at 25° C. for 15 minutes and then read on a plate reader with excitation and emission wavelengths at 535 nm and 590 nm, respectively. The IC50 of a given compound was calculated by fitting the dose response curve of inhibition of NADPH consumption at a given concentration with the four parameter logistic equation.
Measurement: IC50 = 550 nM (pChEMBL 6.260000228881836)
