Assay: Activity Inhibition Assay: To measure the DRAK1 and DRAK2 activity, the substrate MRCL3 peptide and ATP were mixed with the enzymes. After an appropriate period of time, the reaction product ADP was quantitatively analyzed. The buffer solution A was used to make a 3x substrate solution of 3x concentration so that the final concentrations of ATP and MRCL3 peptides were 1 uM, respectively, and 2.5 ul of each solution was dispensed into Optiplate 384 (perkin-elmer) microplate. The final concentrations of ATP and MRCL3 peptide were made to be 1 uM respectively by using buffer A, followed by preparing a 3x substrate solution. The prepared substrate solution was distributed in Optiplate 384 (Perkin-Elmer) microplate (2.5 ul/well). Then, the compounds of Examples 1~39 and the compounds of Comparative Examples 1-6, whose concentrations were tripled by the final concentration were distributed thereto (2.5 ul/well). Lastly, DRAK1 or DRAK2 enzyme solution, properly diluted by using buffer A, was added thereto (2.5 ul/well). Centrifugation was performed at 800 rpm for 1 minute, and then enzyme reaction was induced at 30 C.

Target: Nuclear receptor ROR-gamma (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P51449
Assay: Biological Assay for RORgammaT Activity: To identify novel antagonists of RORgammaT, an assay was developed which employs the interaction of RORgammaT with its co-activator peptide SRC1_2. This peptide mimics the recruitment of co-activators to RORgammaT through its interaction with the LXXLL (e.g., NR box) motifs (Xie et al., J. Immunol. 175: 3800-09, 2005; Kurebayashi et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 315: 919-27, 2004; Jin et al., Mol. Endocrinology 24:923-29, 2010). The RORγ-Ligand Binding Domain TR-FRET Assay was run according to the following protocol.HIS-tagged RORγ-LBD protein was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli. The RORγ-LBD protein was purified by Ni2+-affinity resin. Purified protein was then diluted in assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.0, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM DTT, 100 mg/ml bovine serum albumin, delipidated) to obtain a RORγ-LBD final concentration of 3 nM. Europium tagged anti-HIS antibody was also added to this solution (1.25 nM). Separately, SF9 cells not expressing any recombinant protein were lysed (32,000 cells per ml in 25 mM Tris, 50 mM NaCl) and the previously frozen lysate was added to the diluted RORγ-LBD solution at a ratio of 0.75 ml SF9 lysate per 15 ml of diluted RORγ-LBD.Compounds to be tested were injected to the 384-well assay plate using Acoustic Droplet Ejection technology by Echo 550 liquid handler (Labcyte, CA).A stock of biotinylated-LXXLL peptide from coactivator SRC1 (Biotin-SPSSHSSLTERHKILHRLLQEGSP) (SEQ ID NO: 1) and APC-conjugated streptavidin (final concentrations 100 nM and 8 nM respectively) were also added to each well.The final assay mixture was incubated overnight at 4° C., warmed to room temperature and the fluorescence signal was measured on an Envision plate reader: (Excitation filter=340 nm; APC emission=665 nm; Europium emission=615 nm; dichroic mirror=D400/D630; delay time=100 tis, integration time=200 tis). IC50 values for test compounds were calculated from the quotient of the fluorescence signal at 665 nm divided by the fluorescence signal at 615 nm.

Assay: KHK-C Assay A: A 384-well format on a Corning 3653 assay plate is used, and monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy in continuous mode at rt. Compounds were prepared in DMSO as 4 mM stocks, diluted using an 11-point half-log scheme on a Biomek FX (Beckman Coulter), and incubated at rt for 30 minutes with the reaction mixture containing 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 140 mM KCl, 3.5 mM MgCl2, 0.8 mM fructose, 2 mM TCEP, 0.8 mM PEP, 0.7 mM NADH, 0.01% Triton X-100, 30 U/mL pyruvate kinase-lactate dehydrogenase, and 10 nM purified KHK-C. The compound concentration in each well ranged from 1 nM to 100 μM. The reaction was initiated with the addition of 0.2 mM ATP. The absorbance was measured for 30 minutes on a SpectraMax reader (Molecular Devices) after ATP was added. The concentrations provided are based on the final mixture volume of 40 μL (referred to as the final concentration). Controls: N8-(cyclopropylmethyl)-N4-(2-(methylthio)phenyl)-2-(piperazin-1-yl)pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine-4,8-diamine at 2 μM final concentration was used as high percent effect (HPE) control, and 2.5% DMSO which was present in all reaction wells was used as zero percent effect (ZPE) control. Reaction rates were obtained for 300-1800 seconds time window in units of 1000*AU/min (absorbance unit per minute), and average values for ZPE and HPE controls from 16 wells each were calculated, AveZPE and AveHPE, respectively.

Assay: HotSpot Assay: In vitro profiling protein kinases was performed using the HotSpot assay platform. Briefly, specific kinase/substrate pairs along with required cofactors were prepared in reaction buffer. Compounds were delivered into the reaction, followed 15-20 minutes later by addition of a mixture of ATP (Sigma, St. Louis Mo.) and 33P ATP (Perkin Elmer, Waltham Mass.) to a final concentration of 10 μM. Reactions were carried out at room temperature for 120 min, followed by spotting of the reaction mixtures onto P81 ion exchange filter paper (Whatman Inc., Piscataway, N.J.). Unbound phosphate was removed by extensive washing of filters in 0.75% phosphoric acid. After subtraction of background derived from control reactions containing inactive enzyme, kinase activity data was expressed as the percent of remaining kinase activity in test samples compared to vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide) reactions. IC50 values and curve fits were obtained using Prism (GraphPad Software).Reaction Conditions: Buffer Conditions: 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.02% Brij35, 0.02 mg/mL BSA, 0.1 mM Na3VO4, 2 mM DTT, and 1% DMSO. ATP concentration: 10 μM. Reaction Time: 2 hours. Compound 3 was tested at 10 concentrations as follows with a comparison to the common kinase inhibitor reference compound staurosporine. Compounds were tested in a 10-point IC50 mode with 3-fold serial dilution starting at 10 uM. Control Compound was tested in a 10-point IC50 with 3-fold serial dilution starting at 20 uM.

Assay: Measurement of Activity of GPR120 Agonist (Cell-Based Assay): CHO-K1 cells expressing Ga16 and hGPR120 were dispensed into each well of a 96-well plate (3×104 cells/100 μl/well) and then incubated in 5% CO2, 37° C. incubator for 18 hours. Each well was treated with 100 μl of Calcium 5 dye (Molecular Devices) solution including 2% DMSO and then incubated in 5% CO2, 37° C. incubator for 1 hour. Serially diluted GPR120 agonists were prepared to a final concentration of 0.5% DMSO in a 96-well plate. Each well was treated with 50 μl of the agonist compounds using Plexstation II, and then fluorescence was measured at Ex 485 nm and Em 525 nm.Fluorescence increased by the serially diluted GPR120 agonists is calculated as a relative percent (%) value based on the fluorescence represented by the treatment of 1% DMSO only. EC50 refers to the concentration of agonist which shows 50% of maximum fluorescence increased by the treatment of agonist. The calculation of measurement was carried out by using statistical software (Prizm).

Assay: Ca2+ Mobilization In Vitro Assay: About 24 hrs before an experiment, 5×10^4 cells/well were seeded in poly-D-lysine coated, black/clear-bottomed 96-well plates. The cells were loaded with 2.5 μM Fluo-4AM in loading buffer (1×HBSS, 20 mM HEPES) for 1 hr at 37° C. and washed five times with loading buffer. The cells were transferred into a Functional Drug Screening System 7000 (Hamamatsu, Paris, France), and 11 half logarithmic serial dilutions of test compound at 37° C. were added and the cells were incubated for 10-30 min. with on-line recording of fluorescence. Following this pre-incubation step, the agonist (2S)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutanoic acid (L-AP4) was added to the cells at a concentration corresponding to EC20 with on-line recording of fluorescence; in order to account for day-to-day variations in the responsiveness of cells, the EC20 of L-AP4 was determined immediately ahead of each experiment by recording of a full dose-response curve of L-AP4. Responses were measured as peak increase in fluorescence minus basal (i.e. fluorescence without addition of L-AP4), normalized to the maximal stimulatory effect obtained with saturating concentrations of L-AP4. Graphs were plotted with the % maximal stimulatory using XLfit, a curve fitting program that iteratively plots the data using Levenburg Marquardt algorithm. The single site competition analysis equation used was y=A+((B−A)/(1+((x/C)D))), where y is the % maximal stimulatory effect, A is the minimum y, B is the maximum y, C is the EC50, x is the log 10 of the concentration of the competing compound and D is the slope of the curve (the Hill Coefficient). From these curves the EC50 (drug concentration at which 50% of the maximal receptor activation was achieved), the Hill coefficient as well as the maximal response in % of the maximal stimulatory effect obtained with saturating concentrations of L-AP4 were calculated (see FIG. 1).

Assay: Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Assay: Surface plasmon resonance data was collected on a Biacore T200 or 3000 system (GE Healthcare) at 25° C. Streptavidin was immobilized on a CMS (GE Healthcare) or CMD500d sensor chip (XanTec Bioanalytics) using standard amine-coupling chemistry at 25° C. with HBS-N (10 mM HEPES, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.4) as the running buffer. Briefly, the carboxymethyl dextran surface was activated with a 12 min injection of a 1:1 ratio of 0.4 M 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/0.1 M N-hydroxy succinimide (NHS) at a flow rate of 10 μL/min. For capture of streptavidin, protein was diluted to 0.2 mg/mL in 10 mM sodium acetate (pH 4.5) and captured by injecting 100 μL onto the activated chip surface. Residual activated groups were blocked with a 7 min injection of 1 M ethanolamine (pH 8.5). Avi-tagged PCSK9 protein was captured on the streptavidin surface by injection of 150 μL of protein diluted to 16 μg/mL in HBS-N, 0.05% tween-20, 0.1 mM CaCl2. Typical surface densities obtained were 8000-10000 RU. SPR binding data were obtained using an appropriate dilution series of each compound at a flow rate of 30 μL/ min, with a capture time of 100 s and dissociation times of 300 s. Running buffer for compound binding studies was HBS-N, 0.05% tween-20, 0.1 mM CaCl2, 4% DMSO. Data were corrected for DMSO excluded volume effects. All data were double-referenced for blank injections and reference surface using standard processing procedures and data processing and kinetic fitting were performed using Scrubber software, version 2.0c (BioLogic Software).

Assay: Enzyme Inhibition Assay: Method 2: This method follows the same steps as Method 1 above, but utilises a higher concentration of the p38 MAPKα protein (2.5 uL of 200 ng/mL protein instead of 2.5 uL of 80 ng/mL protein) for mixing with the test compound (tested at either 1 ug/mL, 0.1 ug/mL, 0.01 ug/mL or 0.001 ug/mL). Method 1: The inhibitory activities of test compounds against the p38 MAPKα isoform (MAPK14: Invitrogen) are evaluated indirectly by determining the level of activation\phosphorylation of the down-stream molecule, MAPKAP-K2. The p38 MAPKα protein (80 ng/mL, 2.5 uL) is mixed with the test compound (2.5 uL of either 4 ug/mL, 0.4 ug/mL, 0.04 ug/mL or 0.004 ug/mL) for 2 hr at RT. The mix solution (2.5 uL) of the p38a inactive target MAPKAP-K2 (Invitrogen, 600 ng/mL) and FRET peptide (8 uM; a phosphorylation target for MAPKAP-K2) is then added, then the kinase reaction is initiated by adding ATP (40 uM, 2.5 uL). The mixture is incubated for 1 hr at RT. Development reagent (protease, 5 uL) is added for 1 hr prior to detection in a fluorescence microplate reader (Vanoskan Flash, ThermoFisher Scientific).

Assay: Human P2X3 Receptor Inhibition Assay: Stably expressing cell line (C6BU-1 transfected with human P2X3 receptor gene (GenBank accession number Y07683) was used. The cells were seeded in a 96-well microtiter plate at a concentration of 8000 cells/well and cultured in the medium (8.3% fetal bovine serum, 8.3% horse serum, 1% antibiotic and antifungal in DMEM) for one day at 37° C. under 5% carbon dioxide atmosphere. The medium was replaced with 4 μM Fluo-3-AM solution (20 mM HEPES, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 0.9 mM MgCl2, 5.0 mM CaCl2, 5.6 mM D-glucose, 2.5 mM probenecid, 10% BSA, and 0.08% Pluronic F-127, pH 7.5) and incubated at 37° C. under 5% dioxide carbon atmosphere for one hour. The plate was washed with washing buffer (20 mM HEPES, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 KCl, 0.9 mM MgCl2, 5.0 mM CaCl2, 5.6 mM D-glucose, 2.5 mM probenecid, pH 7.5), each well was added with 40 μL of this buffer. The plate was placed in High-Throughput Screening System FDSS 3000 (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.). Measurement of fluorescence intensity by FDSS 3000 was started, and 40 μl, of DMSO solutions containing different concentrations of the test, compound as prepared by dilution with dilution buffer (20 mM HEPES, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 0.9 mM MgCl2, 5.0 mM CaCl2, 5.6 mM D-glucose, 2.5 mM probenecid, 0.1.% Pluronic F-127, pH 7.5) were dispensed to each well through the built-in automatic dispenser. Five minutes after, 50 nM ATP solution (50 μL) prepared by dilution with the dilution buffer was dispensed through the built-in automatic dispenser, and the measurement of fluorescence intensity was continued for 3 min. For each well, the specific maximum fluorescence intensity was calculated as the ratio of the maximum fluorescence intensity after addition of the ATP solution to the fluorescence intensity at the starting of the measurement. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated under the assumption that the specific maximum fluorescence intensity without test compound is 0% inhibition and that the specific maximum fluorescence intensity when the dilution buffer was added in place of ATP solution is 100% inhibition, to evaluate the inhibitory activity of the test compound. FDSS software (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.) was used for calculation of the specific maximum fluorescence intensity. IC50 was calculated using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation) and Ltd.).

Assay: Electrophysiology Assay: Block of Kir1.1 (ROMK1) currents was examined by whole cell voltage clamp (Hamill et. al. Pfluegers Archives 391:85-100 (1981)) using the IonWorks Quattro automated electrophysiology platform (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing Kir1.1 channels were maintained in T-75 flasks in cell culture media in a humidified 10% CO2 incubator at 37° C. Prior to an experiment, Kir1.1 expression was induced by overnight incubation with 1 mM sodium butyrate. On the day of the experiment, cells were dissociated with 2.5 mL of Versene (Invitrogen 15040-066) for approximately 6 min at 37° C. and suspended in 10 mL of bath solution containing (in mM): 150 NaCl, 10 KCl, 2.7 CaCl2, 0.5 MgCl2, 5 HEPES, pH 7.4. After centrifugation, the cell pellet was resuspended in approximately 4.0 mL of bath solution and placed in the IonWorks instrument. The intracellular solution consisted of (in mM): 80 K gluconate, 40 KCl, 20 KF, 3.2 MgCl2, 3 EGTA, 5 Hepes, pH 7.4. Electrical access to the cytoplasm was achieved by perforation in 0.13 mg/mL amphotericin B for 4 min. Amphotericin B (Sigma A-4888) was prepared as a 40 mg/mL solution in DMSO. Voltage protocols and current recordings were performed using the IonWorks HT software/hardware system. Currents were sampled at 1 kHz. No correction for liquid junction potentials was used. The test pulse, consisting of a 100 ms step to 0 mV from a holding potential of −70 mV, followed by a 100 ms voltage ramp from −70 mV to +70 mV, was applied before and after a 6 min compound incubation period. Test compounds were prepared by diluting DMSO stock solutions into the bath solution at 3× the final concentration and placed in the instrument in 96-well polypropylene plates.

Assay: Inhibition of IRAP Assay: Rat epididymal fat pads were homogenized and subjected to ultracentrifugation at 100,000×g for 30 minutes to obtain microsomes containing IRAP. The microsomes (with a total protein content of 55 g/well) were mixed with a solvent (dimethyl sulfoxide; hereinafter, abbreviated as DMSO (final concentration: 0.1%)) or with each test compound (common ratio: 3; maximum concentration: 10 μM). AVP was then added to the solution to a final concentration of 25 μM, and the resulting solution was allowed to react for one hour at 37° C. An aqueous trifluoroacetic acid (hereinafter, abbreviated as TFA) solution was then added to the solution (final concentration: 1%) to stop the enzymatic reaction. Residual AVP was then determined by mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Based on the results, IC50 values (nM), i.e. concentrations required for 50% inhibition of decrease in AVP level in the solvent control group, of the individual test compounds were calculated by the logistic regression to evaluate inhibition of IRAP activity. As comparative examples, similar tests were performed with the compounds of the Reference Examples 1 and 2 described below: (2S,3S)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-({4-[(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)oxy]pyridin-2-yl}methyl)hexanoic acid dihydrochloride; and (2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-({4-[(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)oxy]pyridin-2-yl}methyl)hexanoic acid hydrochloride, respectively.

Assay: Measurement of Orexin Type 2 Receptor Agonist Activity: Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) dhfr-cells forcibly expressing human orexin type 2 receptor (hOX2R) were seeded in each well of Black clear bottom plate (384 wells) (Becton, Dickinson and Company) by 10,000 cells, and cultured for 16 hr in an MEM-alpha (Nikken-Bio Co., Ltd.) medium containing 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 0.5 g/ml G418 (all above Invitrogen), and 10% fetal calf serum (Thermo), under the conditions of 37° C., 5% CO2. After removal of the medium, 30 μL of assay buffer 1 (0.1% bovine serum albumin (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), 1.25 mM probenecid, 10% B2-Quencher, 2.5 μg/mL Fluo-4AM, 10 mM HEPES (DOJINDO)) was added, and the cells were incubated for 60 min under the conditions of 37° C., 5% CO2. A test compound was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to 10 mM, and then diluted with assay buffer 2 (20 mM HEPES, Hanks' balanced salt solution (Invitrogen), 0.1% bovine serum albumin). For the reaction, a test compound solution (10 μL) was added using Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader TETRA (FLIPR TETRA; manufactured by Molecular Devices), a fluorescence value (excitation wavelength 488 nm, measurement wavelength 570 nm) of each well was measured every one second for 1 min, and the agonist activity was determined using the area of the fluorescence value as an indicator of intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The agonist activity of the test compound was calculated assuming that the fluorescence value of the well added with only the dilution buffer was 0% and the fluorescence value of the well added with 10 nM human orexin B (PEPTIDE INSTITUTE, INC.) buffer was 100%. The agonist activity values EC50 and Emax of each compound are shown below. As used herein, Emax indicates the value at 30 uM concentration when orexin B is converted to a full agonist (maximum value of agonist activity: 100%). As is clear from the results, the compound of the present invention was shown to have an agonist activity on hOX2R.

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.

UniProt: Q13535
Assay: Time-Resolved Fluorescence Energy Transfer (TR-FRET Tracer A): To determine of binding activity of the test compounds, full-length human ATR protein was expressed and purified together with ATRIP as described above. Furthermore, a fluorescently labelled compound (tracer A) was used as a tracer molecule. Detection of the binding event of the tracer was achieved by time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET). We used an anti-GST-Terbium antibody (CisBio) that binds to the GST-tag at the N-terminus of ATR-kinase. Excitation of Terbium with 337 nm light results in emission of fluorescent light with 545 nm. In case a tetrameric complex has formed (antiGST-Tb+GST-ATR+Strp2-ATRIP+tracer), part of the energy will be transferred from the Terbium to the fluorophore that itself emits light of 570 nm. Displacement of the fluorescent tracer by a test compound leads to a reduction of the TR-FRET-signal.For the assay 50 nl of a 100-fold concentrated solution of the test compound in DMSO was pipetted into a black low volume 384well microtiter plate (MTP, Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany). To prepare the ATR-working solution, ATR/ATRIP stock solution was diluted in assay buffer [50 mM HEPES (pH 7.0), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% (w/v) Igepal, 0.01% (w/v) BSA] to 4.2 nM protein concentration (concentration may vary from lot to lot of protein preparation). AntiGST-Tb antibody was diluted to 4.2 nM. The ATR-working solution was incubated for 30 min at 22° C. prior to dispensing to pre-form the complex of antiGST-Tb+GST-ATR+ATRIP. Then, 3 μl of the ATR-working solution were added to the test compound and the mixture was incubated for 10 min at 22° C. to allow pre-binding of the test compounds to ATR/ATRIP. Then, 2 μl of a 100 nM solution of either tracer A or B in assay buffer were added to the ATR-working solution. The resulting mixture was incubated for 30 min at 22° C. The measurement of the TR-FRET signal was performed in a standard HTRF-compatible MTP reader instrument (e.g. BMG Pherastar) by recording the fluorescence emissions at 545 nm and 570 nm after excitation at 337-350 nm. The ratio between emission at 570 nm divided by emission at 545 nm was calculated to give the well ratio. The experimental data (well ratios) were normalised by the following way: positive control contained ATR-working solution plus either tracer A or B solution (=0% inhibition), the negative control contained all components except GST-ATR/ATRIP (=100% inhibition).

Assay: Kinase Assay: In a typical assay 11 different concentrations of each compound (0.1 nM, 0.33 nM, 1.1 nM, 3.8 nM, 13 nM, 44 nM, 0.15 μM, 0.51 μM, 1.7 μM, 5.9 μM and 20 μM) were tested in duplicate within the same microtiter plate. To this end, 100-fold concentrated compound solutions (in DMSO) were previously prepared by serial dilution (1:3.4) of 2 mM stocks in a clear low volume 384-well source microtiter plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), from which 50 nl of compounds were transferred into a black low volume test microtiter plate from the same supplier. Subsequently, 2 μL of Bub1 (the final concentration of Bub1 was adjusted depending on the activity of the enzyme lot in order to be within the linear dynamic range of the assay: typically 200 ng/mL were used) in aqueous assay buffer [50 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.5, 10 mM magnesium chloride (MgCl2), 200 mM potassium chloride (KCl), 1.0 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 0.1 mM sodium ortho-vanadate, 1% (v/v) glycerol, 0.01% (w/v) bovine serum albumine (BSA), 0.005% (v/v) Trition X-100 (Sigma), 1× Complete EDTA-free protease inhibitor mixture (Roche)] were added to the compounds in the test plate and the mixture was incubated for 15 min at 22° C. to allow pre-equilibration of the putative enzyme-inhibitor complexes before the start of the kinase reaction, which was initiated by the addition of 3 μL 1.67-fold concentrated solution (in assay buffer) of adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP, 10 μM final concentration) and peptide substrate (1 μM final concentration). The resulting mixture (5 μL final volume) was incubated at 22° C. during 60 min., and the reaction was stopped by the addition of 5 μL of an aqueous EDTA-solution (50 mM EDTA, in 100 mM HEPES pH 7.5 and 0.2% (w/v) bovine serum albumin) which also contained the TR-FRET detection reagents (0.2 μM streptavidin-XL665 [Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France] and 1 nM anti-phosho-Serine antibody [Merck Millipore, cat. #35-002] and 0.4 nM LANCE EU-W1024 labeled anti-mouse IgG antibody [Perkin-Elmer, product no. AD0077, alternatively a Terbium-cryptate-labeled anti-mouse IgG antibody from Cisbio Bioassays can be used]). The stopped reaction mixture was further incubated 1 h at 22° C. in order to allow the formation of complexes between peptides and detection reagents.

Assay: Compound Profiling Methods: Strains expressing SCD1 or SCD5 as the sole desaturase, the human SCD1 and SCD5 genes were used to evaluate inhibition of SCD1/SCD5 using reduced growth as a surrogate for SCD inhibition. These yeast strains express human SCD1 or SCD5 from a plasmid harbored in a strain in which the yeast OLE1 gene is deleted.All compound profiling experiments were performed using the same basic protocol. Yeast were cultured using standard techniques in complete synthetic media lacking uracil and containing yeast nitrogen base supplemented with 2% (w/v) glucose (SD-Ura) Starter cultures were inoculated in 3 mL SD-Ura media containing 0.01% tween and 0.2 mM palmitoleic and oleic acid. Cultures were incubated overnight in a 30° C. shaker incubator (225 rpm). Saturated morning cultures were centrifuged, washed in SD-Ura media lacking TWEEN-20 and fatty acids, and then diluted 1:20 in fresh SD-Ura media also lacking TWEEN-20 and fatty acids. Cells were grown for 6 h to an  (optical density) of 0.4-0.8 at 30° C. with shaking.Compound stocks (10 mM in 100% DMSO) were arrayed into 384-round well, v-bottom polypropylene plates and diluted according to indicated dilution factors. Compound administration was performed in two separate steps. First, 15 μL of SD-Ura was dispensed into clear 384-well assay plates using a MULTIDROP Combi reagent dispenser. The diluted compound stock plates were then applied to the assay plates using an automated workstation (Perkin Elmer JANUS) outfitted with a 384-pin tool containing slotted pins that deliver 100 nL of compound. The cultures described above were centrifuged and washed with media lacking TWEEN-20 or oleic and palmitoleic acids. Cultures were then resuspended at a 2-fold concentrated  of 0.02 (final  of 0.0.01) in SD-Ura. 15 μL of diluted culture was then dispensed into the pinned assay plate to achieve 30 μL of the 1× culture (0.01) and a top drug concentration of 33.3 μM.After yeast delivery, assay plates were incubated under humidified conditions at 30° C. for 40 h. Yeast growth was monitored by reading the  of each well using a microplate reader (Perkin Elmer EnVision). Data were analyzed as follows. Raw data were processed by background subtracting and converting values to a percent of the nontreated condition for that strain [(EXP-0.035)/(DMSO-0.035)×100%].

Assay: AKR1C3-Inhibitory Action: For the assay, 50 nl of a 100-fold concentrated solution of the test substance in DMSO were pipetted into a black low-volume 384-well microtitre plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), 2.0 μl of a solution of AKR1C3 in assay buffer [50 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 7, 1 mM DTT, 0.0022% (w/v) Pluronic F-127, 0.01% BSA (w/v) and protease inhibitor cocktail (complete, EDTA-free Protease Inhibitor Cocktail from Roche)] were added and the mixture was incubated for 15 min, in order to enable preliminary binding of the substances to the enzyme prior to the enzyme reaction. Then the enzyme reaction was started by adding 3 μl of a solution of NADPH (16.7 μM→final concentration in assay volume 5 μl is 10 μM) and coumberone (0.5 μM→final concentration in assay volume 5 μl is 0.3 μM) in assay buffer and the resulting mixture was incubated at 22° C. for the reaction time of 90 min. The concentration of the AKR1C3 was matched to the respective activity of the enzyme preparation and set such that the assay worked within the linear range. Typical concentrations were in the region of 1 nM. The reaction was stopped by adding 5 μl of a stop solution consisting of the inhibitor EM-1404 [F. Labrie et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,541,463, 2003](2 μM→final concentration in assay volume 5 μl is 1 μM). Subsequently, the fluorescence of coumberol was measured at 520 nm (excitation at 380 nm) with a suitable measuring instrument (Pherastar from BMG Labtechnologies). The intensity of the fluorescence was used as a measure for the amount of coumberol formed and hence for the enzyme activity of AKR1C3. The data were normalized (enzyme reaction without inhibitor=0% inhibition; all other assay components but no enzyme=100% inhibition). Typically, the test substances were tested on the same microtitre plate at 11 different concentrations in the range from 20 μM to 96.8 μM (20 μM, 5.9 μM, 1.7 μM, 0.5 μM, 0.15 μM, 44 nM, 12.9 nM, 3.8 nM, 1.1 nM, 0.3 nM and 96.8 μM; the dilution series were prepared before the assay at the level of the 100-fold concentrated solution by serial 1:3 dilutions with 100% DMSO) in twin values for each concentration, and IC50 values were calculated by a 4-parameter fit.

Secondary antibodies were anti-rabbit Alexa488 and anti-mouse Alexa594 (Molecular Probes, 1:1000. Cells were then fixed and counter stained with DAPI. Coverslips were mounted in FluoromountG (SouthernBiothech). Images were acquired on a Zeiss Axioplan2 epifluorescence microscope coupled to the Openlab software. Confocal images of mitotracker were taken on Zeiss LSM 710 laser scanning confocal microscope. 10 random fields per condition were acquired using the 100× objective and representative images shown. Glass coverslips were mounted directly on plate with FluoromountG and images taken on Zeiss Axioplan2 epifluorescence microscope.
