Nanoliter quantities of 10-point, 3-fold serial dilution in DMSO were pre-dispensed into 1536 assay plates (Corning, #3724BC) for a final test concentration of 33 μM to 1.7 nM, top to lowest dose, respectively. 3 of 2× Protein and 3 μL of 2× Peptide Ligand were added to assay plates (pre-stamped with compound). Plates were incubated for varying times at room temperature prior to measuring the signal. TR-FRET (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) was measured on the PHERAstar (BMG, equipped with HTRF optic module [337/520/490]) or on the Envision (PerkinElmer, equipped with the TRF Laser unit, TRF dual mirror D400/D505 and emission filters M520 and M495). Data were reported as percent inhibition compared with control wells based on the following equation: % inh=1−((TR-FRET ratio−AveLow)/(AveHigh−AveLow)) where TR-FRET ratio=(Fluorescence at 520 nm/Fluorescence at 490 nm)*10000), AveLow=average TR-FRET ratio of no enzyme control (n=32), and AveHigh=average TR-FRET ratio of DMSO control (n=32). IC50 values were determined by curve fitting of the standard 4 parameter logistic fitting algorithm included in the Activity Base software package: IDBS XE Designer Model 205.

Assay: Btk Enzyme Activity Assay: BTK enzymatic activity was determined with the LANCE (Lanthanide Chelate Excite) TR-FRET (Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer) assay. In this assay, the potency (IC50) of each compound was determined from an eleven point (1:3 serial dilution; final compound concentration range in assay from 1 μM to 0.017 nM) titration curve using the following outlined procedure. To each well of a black non-binding surface Corning 384-well microplate (Corning Catalog #3820), 5 nL of compound (2000 fold dilution in final assay volume of 10 μL) was dispensed, followed by the addition of 7.5 μL of 1× kinase buffer (50 mM Hepes 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Brij-35, 1 mM EGTA, 0.05% BSA & 1 mM DTT) containing 5.09 pg/μL (66.67 pM) of BTK enzyme (recombinant protein from baculovirus-transfected Sf9 cells: full-length BTK, 6HIS-tag cleaved). Following a 60 minute compound & enzyme incubation, each reaction was initiated by the addition of 2.5 μL 1× kinase buffer containing 8 μM biotinylated A5 peptide (Biotin-EQEDEPEGDYFEWLE-NH2) (SEQ.ID.NO.: 1), and 100 μM ATP. The final reaction in each well of 10 μL consists of 50 pM hBTK, 2 μM biotin-A5-peptide, and 25 μM ATP. Phosphorylation reactions were allowed to proceed for 120 minutes. Reactions were immediately quenched by the addition of 20 uL of 1× quench buffer (15 mM EDTA, 25 mM Hepes 7.3, and 0.1% Triton X-100) containing detection reagents (0.626 nM of LANCE-Eu-W1024-anti-phosphoTyrosine antibody, PerkinElmer and 86.8 nM of Streptavidin-conjugated Dylight 650, Dyomics/ThermoFisher Scientific). After 60 minutes incubation with detection reagents, reaction plates were read on a PerkinElmer EnVision plate reader using standard TR-FRET protocol. Briefly, excitation of donor molecules (Eu-chelate:anti-phospho-antibody) with a laser light source at 337 nm produces energy that can be transferred to Dylight-650 acceptor molecules if this donor:acceptor pair is within close proximity Fluorescence intensity at both 665 nm (acceptor) and 615 nm (donor) are measured and a TR-FRET ratio calculated for each well (acceptor intensity/donor intensity). IC50 values were determined by 4 parameter robust fit of TR-FRET ratio values vs. (Log10)) compound concentrations.

Assay: Kinase Inhibition Assay: The in vitro kinase assays were performed at Nanosyn (Santa Clara, Calif.) utilizing microfluidic detection technology. The test compounds were serially pre-diluted in DMSO and added, by the acoustic dispensing (Labcyte 550), directly to 384 well assay plates into 10 uL of a buffer with enzyme (ITK, TXK, BTK or TEC) comprising: 100 mM HEPES, pH7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Triton X-100 and the enzyme. Final DMSO concentration was maintained at 1% in all samples, including the controls. The reactions were initiated by addition of ATP (1 mM final concentration) and the fluorescently labeled peptide substrate to a final concentration of 1 uM, and incubated for 3 hours at 25° C. Following incubation, the reactions were quenched by addition of 40 μL of termination buffer (100 mM HEPES, pH7.5, 0.01% Triton X-100, 50 mM EDTA). Terminated plates were analyzed using Caliper LabChip 3000 microfluidic electrophoresis instrument (Caliper Life Sciences/Perkin Elmer). The enzymatic modification of the peptide substrate (phosphorylation) results in a change of net charge enabling electrophoretic separation of product from substrate. As substrate and product are separated by electrophoresis, two peaks of fluorescence are observed. Change in the relative fluorescence intensity of the substrate and product peaks was the parameter measured, reflecting enzyme activity. In the presence of inhibitor, the ratio between product and substrate is altered: signal of the product decreases, while the signal of the substrate increases. Activity in each test sample was determined as the product to sum ratio (PSR): P/(S+P), where P is the peak height of the product and S is the peak height of the FAM-cAMP substrate. For each compound, enzyme activity was measured at 12 concentrations spaced by 3× dilution intervals. Negative control samples (0%-inhibition in the absence of inhibitor, DMSO only) and positive control samples (100%-inhibition, in the absence of enzyme or in the presence of control inhibitor) were assembled in replicates of four and were used to calculate %-inhibition values in the presence of compounds. Percent inhibition (Pinh) was determined using the following equation: Pinh=(PSR0%−PSRinh)/(PSR0%−PSR100%)*100, where PSRinh is the product sum ratio in the presence of inhibitor, PSR0% is the product sum ratio in the absence of inhibitor and PSR100% is the product sum ratio in 100%-inhibition control samples. To determine IC50 values, the inhibition curves (Pinh versus inhibitor concentration) were fitted by 4 parameter sigmoid dose-response model using XLfit software (IDBS).

Next, 1 μL of a 4-fold, 40× compound titration in 100% DMSO solvent is added, followed by adding 15 uL of BTK enzyme mix in 1× kinase buffer (with a final concentration of 0.25 nM). The assay is incubated for 30 minutes before being stopped with 28 μL of a 50 mM EDTA solution. Aliquots (5 μL) of the kinase reaction are transferred to a low volume white 384 well plate (Corning 3674), and 5 μL of a 2× detection buffer (Invitrogen PV3574, with 4 nM Tb-PY20 antibody, Invitrogen PV3552) is added. The plate is covered and incubated for 45 minutes at room temperature. Time resolved fluorescence (TRF) on Molecular Devices M5 (332 nm excitation; 488 nm emission; 518 nm fluorescein emission) is measured. IC50 values are calculated using a four parameter fit with 100% enzyme activity determined from the DMSO control and 0% activity from the EDTA control.

Assay: Ca-Flux Functional Assay: GPR43 agonist/PAM activity was determined by measuring changes in intracellular calcium levels using a Ca2+ sensitive fluorescent dye. The changes in fluorescent signal were monitored by FLIPR (manufactured by Molecular Devices). GPR43 mediated increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration were readily detected upon activation with sodium acetate. Prior to the assay (24 hours), CHO-K1 Gα16 cells stably expressing human GPR43 were-seeded in cell culture medium in black, clear-bottom 384-well plates (Corning Inc) and grown overnight at 37° C., 5% CO2. On the day of the assay, cell culture media was removed and cells were loaded with Calcium 5 Dye (Molecular Devices) diluted in HBSS containing 25 mM HEPES, 2.5 mM Probenecid, 0.1% BSA for 1 hour at 37° C., 5% CO2. 10 point half log concentration response curves of sodium acetate from 10 mM were conducted prior to the testing of compounds to calculate the sodium acetate concentration that produces 20% of the maximal response (EC20). Test compounds (at 10 point half log concentration response curves from 10 μM) were added in the presence of sodium acetate to achieve a final concentration that produces approximately 20% maximal response as calculated from the previous experiment. The changes in fluorescent signal were monitored by FLIPR upon addition of the compound/EC20 sodium acetate mix. The EC50 values were determined from ten point concentration response curves. Curves were generated using the average of two wells for each data point.

Assay: Inhibition Assay: Cells were split 2-3 times weekly between 1:3 and 1:4. For binding assays and membrane preparations the cell culture medium was removed, cells were washed with PBS. Crude membranes for radioligand binding experiments were prepared by scraping the cells off the dishes in ice cold 20 mM HEPES/0.1 mM KCl/pH 7.2. The cell suspension was homogenized on ice (Ultra turrax, 3×20 sec.) and the homogenate was spun for 10 min (1° C., 1000 g, OPTIMA, SW28, 2800 U/min). The supernatant was than centrifuged for 40 min at 100000 g (1° C., OPTIMA, SW28, 23000 U/min). The membrane pellet was resuspended in 20 mM HEPES/0.1 mM KCl/pH 7.2, frozen and stored at −80° C.After thawing on the day of the assay, the membrane suspension was diluted further with 20 mM HEPES/0.1 mM KCl/pH 7.2.The incubation mixture of 200 μl contained 1.5 nmol/l 3H-Dofetilide, optimized amount of membrane preparation, 20 mM HEPES/0.1 mM KCl/(pH 7.2) and inhibitor in 1% DMSO. Nonspecific binding was estimated in the presence of 10 M Dofetilide. The samples were incubated for 90 min. at RT.Binding was terminated by filtration of the incubated membrane preparations using Filtermat B (Pharmacia, Uppsala Sweden) and a Micro Cell Harvester (Skatron, Lier, Norway). The Filtermat B had been presoaked with 1% polyethylenimine and carefully washed with 0.05 M Tris/HCl-buffer pH=7.7 after the filtration to separate free and bound radioactivity. The filters were counted in a scintillation counter (Betaplate 1205, Berthold, Wildbad, Germany) in order to determine the specific binding of [3H]-Dofetilide.

Assay: Activity Assay: The GPR40 protein activity according to the novel 3-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)hex-4-inoic acid derivative of the present invention was measured by investigating the changes in intracellular calcium concentration affected by the GRP40 activation. First, HEK-293 cells were transfected with human GPR40 DNA (Origene, RC218370) by using Fugene HD (Promega, E2311). The transfected HEK-293 cells were distributed in a 96-well black clear bottom floor plate (Costar, 3603), followed by culture. 24 hours later, the cell culture medium was replaced with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, 50 μl/well) supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum (FBS). To measure the calcium concentration, 50 μl of Fluo-4 reagent (Invitrogen, F10471) was added to each well, followed by culture in a 37° C. incubator for 2 hours. During the culture, the compounds of Examples and the compounds of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were diluted with 1×HBSS (Hank's Buffered Salt Solution) containing 20 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer, resulting in the preparation of the samples for treating the cells. 2 hours after the culture began, those prepared samples were automatically injected to the cells by using Flexstation 3 (Molecular Devices). Then, intracellular calcium concentration was measured for 120 seconds by using SoftMax® Pro software. At this time, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) was injected to the cells for the non-treated group, followed by measuring the calcium concentration therein.

Assay: NAMPT Enzyme Assay: To measure the inhibition of NAMPT activity hNAMPT protein stock and anti 6His-Tb (Cisbio; Cat. No. 61HISTLB) is diluted to 3× final concentration with assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 1 mM DTT, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.005% Tween 20). To this solution is added a test compound or vehicle control (DMSO) and BodiPY ligand (structure below). The plate is shaken for 1-2 min sealed and incubated for 1 h at rt in the dark. The TR-FRET signal is measured using BMG Pherastar (Lanthascreen protocol on BMG Pherastar). Excitation was carried out at 320 nm, and the ratio of emission of BodiPY (520 nm) to terbium (486 nm) was determined. Concentration response curves are generated by calculating the excitation increase in test compound-treated samples relative to DMSO-treated controls.For the assay method described above, test compound percent inhibition values at a single concentration are calculated relative to control (DMSO) treated samples. Compound concentration response curves are fitted to generate IC50 values from those curves. One skilled in the art will appreciate that these values generated either as percentage inhibition at a single concentration or IC50 values are subject to experimental variation.

Assay: Omnia Assay: Briefly, a 1.25× stock of MK-2 enzyme from Invitrogen (PV3317), a 5× stock of ATP (AS001A), and ST3-Sox peptide substrate (KNZ1031C) were prepared in 1× kinase reaction buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 5 mM β-glycerophosphate, 5% glycerol (10× stock, KB002A) and 0.2 mM DTT. Compound potency assays were initiated by adding a 0.5 μL volume of 100% DMSO and serially diluted compounds prepared in 100% DMSO to a Corning (#3574) 384-well, white, non-binding surface microtiter plate (Corning, N.Y.) followed immediately by 10 μL of the ST3-Sox peptide and ATP substrate solution. Kinase reactions were started with the addition of 40 μL of MK-2 enzyme and monitored every 71 seconds for 30-240 minutes at λex360/λem485 in a Synergy2, Synergy4 or Synergy H4 plate reader from BioTek (Winooski, Vt.). At the conclusion of each assay, progress curves from each well were examined for linear reaction kinetics and fit statistics (R2, 95% confidence interval, absolute sum of squares). Initial velocity (0 minutes to +30 minutes) from each reaction was estimated from the slope of a plot of relative fluorescence units vs time (minutes) and normalized to the no enzyme and no inhibitor control groups for % Inhibition. The resulting % Inhibition values were then plotted against inhibitor concentration to estimate IC50 from log[Inhibitor] vs Response, Variable Slope model in GraphPad Prism from GraphPad Software (San Diego, Calif.).

Assay: Steroid Inhibition of TBPS Binding: TBPS binding assays using rat brain cortical membranes in the presence of 5 μM GABA has been described (Gee et al, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 1987, 241, 346-353; Hawkinson et al, Mol. Pharmacol. 1994, 46, 977-985; Lewin, A. H et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 1989, 35, 189-194).Briefly, cortices are rapidly removed following decapitation of carbon dioxide-anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250 g). The cortices are homogenized in 10 volumes of ice-cold 0.32 M sucrose using a glass/teflon homogenizer and centrifuged at 1500×g for 10 min at 4° C. The resultant supernatants are centrifuged at 10,000×g for 20 min at 4° C. to obtain the P2 pellets. The P2 pellets are resuspended in 200 mM NaCl/50 mM NaK phosphate pH 7.4 buffer and centrifuged at 10,000×g for 10 min at 4° C. This washing procedure is repeated twice and the pellets are resuspended in 10 volumes of buffer. Aliquots (100 μL) of the membrane suspensions are incubated with 3 nM [35S]-TBPS and 5 μL aliquots of test drug dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (final 0.5%) in the presence of 5 μM GABA. The incubation is brought to a final volume of 1.0 mL with buffer. Nonspecific binding is determined in the presence of 2 μM unlabeled TBPS and ranged from 15 to 25%. Following a 90 min incubation at room temp, the assays are terminated by filtration through glass fiber filters (Schleicher and Schuell No. 32) using a cell harvester (Brandel) and rinsed three times with ice-cold buffer. Filter bound radioactivity is measured by liquid scintillation spectrometry. Non-linear curve fitting of the overall data for each drug averaged for each concentration is done using Prism (GraphPad). The data are fit to a partial instead of a full inhibition model if the sum of squares is significantly lower by F-test. Similarly, the data are fit to a two component instead of a one component inhibition model if the sum of squares is significantly lower by F-test. The concentration of test compound producing 50% inhibition (IC50) of specific binding and the maximal extent of inhibition (Imax) are determined for the individual experiments with the same model used for the overall data and then the means ±SEM.s of the individual experiments are calculated. Picrotoxin serves as the positive control for these studies as it has been demonstrated to robustly inhibit TBPS binding.

Assay: Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activity: In the first mode, a range of concentrations of the disclosed compounds are added to cells, followed by a single fixed concentration of agonist. If the compound acts as a potentiatior, an EC50 value for potentiation and a maximum extent of potentiation by the compound at this concentration of agonist is determined by non-linear curve fitting. If the compound acts as a noncompetitive antagonist, an IC50 value is determined by non-linear curve fitting. In the second mode, several fixed concentrations of the disclosed compounds are added to various wells on a plate, followed by a range in concentrations of agonist for each concentration of disclosed compound. The EC50 values for the agonist at each concentration of compound are determined by non-linear curve fitting. A decrease in the EC50 value of the agonist with increasing concentrations of the sample compound (a leftward shift of the agonist concentration-response curve) is an indication of the degree of mGluR4 potentiation at a given concentration of the sample compound. A decrease in the maximal response of the agonist with increasing concentrations of the sample compounds, with or without a rightward shift in agonist potency, is an indication of the degree of noncompetitive antagonism at mGluR4. The second mode also indicates whether the sample compounds also affect the maximum response to mGluR4 to agonists.
