Assay: In Vitro BACE1 Cell-Based Assay: The cell-based assay measures inhibition or reduction of Aβ40 in conditioned medium of test compound treated cells expressing amyloid precursor protein. Cells stably expressing Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) were plated at a density of 45K cells/well in 384 well plates (Corning/BioCoat 354663). The test compounds were then added to cells in 22-point dose response concentrations with the starting concentration being 62.5 μM. The compounds were diluted from stock solutions in DMSO and the final DMSO concentration of the test compounds on cells was 0.625%. The cells were cultivated overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO2 in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. After 24 h of incubation with the test compounds, the conditioned media was collected and the Aβ40 levels were determined using HTRF (Homogeneous Time Resolved Fluorescence). The IC50 of the compound was calculated from the percent of control or percent inhibition of Aβ 40 as a function of the concentration of the test compound.The HTRF to detect Aβ40 was performed in 384 well plates (Costar 3658). The antibody pair that were used to detect Aβ 40 from cell supernatants were ConfAb40 antibody (Amgen in-house) and biotinylated 6E10 (BIOLEGEND). As an alternative to ConfAb40, a commercially available antibody, Anti-beta Amyloid 1-40 antibody [BDI350] from Abcam, Cambridge, Mass. 02139-1517 (Product code: ab20068), may be used in this assay. The concentrations were 0.35 μg/mL of ConfAb40 antibody and 1.33 μg/mL of 6E10-biotinylated antibody, as well as 4.5 μg/mL of Streptavidin Allophycocyanin Conjugate (ThermoFisher Scientific) in HTRF Buffer (1M Hepes pH 7.5, 1M NaCl, 1% BSA, 0.5% Tween 20).The conditioned media was incubated with above antibodies and Streptavidin Allophycocyanin Conjugate for 30-60 minutes at 23° C. The final readout was performed on Envision from PerkinElmer.

Target: Tyrosine-protein kinase JAK2 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: O60674
Assay: Jak2 Tyrosine Kinase Assay: Compounds with activity against Jak2 tyrosine kinase have been observed to cause thrombocytopenia, anemia and neutropenia in human patients in clinical trials (see for example, see Pardanani, A., Leukemia, 26:1449 (2012)). Jak2 signaling occurs thru EPO and TPO, which control erythrocyte and platelet proliferation, respectively. Thus, inhibition of Jak2 tyrosine kinase can potentially lead to side-effects in the clinic. Btk inhibitors with improved selectivity over Jak2 tyrosine kinase are desired in order to minimize off target side-effects related to the inhibition of Jak2 tyrosine kinase.The assays were performed in V-bottom 384-well plates. The final assay volume was 30 μl prepared from 15 μl additions of enzyme and substrates (fluoresceinated peptide and ATP) and test compounds in assay buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 25 mM beta-glycerolphosphate, 0.015% Brij 35 surfactant and 4 mM DTT). The reaction was initiated by the combination of Jak2 tyrosine kinase with substrates and test compounds. The reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes and terminated by adding 45 μL of 35 mM EDTA to each sample. The reaction mixture was analyzed on the Caliper LABCHIP® 3000 by electrophoretic separation of the fluorescent substrate and phosphorylated product. Inhibition data were calculated by comparison to no enzyme control reactions for 100% inhibition and vehicle-only reactions for 0% inhibition. The final concentration of reagents in the assays is ATP, 30 μM; Jak2 fluorescent peptide, 1.5 μM; Jak2, 1 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 DMSO and evaluated at eleven concentrations, each in duplicate. IC50 values were derived by non-linear regression analysis.

Target: Toll-like receptor 8 (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: Q9NR97
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-κc Band 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 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-Bue 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.

Assay: Omnia Assay: Omnia Assay Protocol for Potency Assessment Against FGFR 4 Enzyme. a) [FGFR4-WT]=10 nM, [ATP]=300 uM, [Y10-Sox]=10 uM (ATP KMapp 300 uM): A 10x stock solution of FGFR4-WT (PR4380C), (from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) corresponding to method a in Table 7, was prepared as described below. Alternatively, a 10x stock solution of FGFR4-WT (F01-11G), (SignalChem, Richmond, BC) corresponding to method b in Table 7, was prepared as described below. A solution of 1.4xATP (AS001A) and 5x Tyr-Sox conjugated peptide substrate (KNZ3101) were prepared in 1x kinase reaction buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 5 mM β-glycerophosphate, 5% glycerol (10x stock, KB002A) and 0.2 mM DTT (DS001A). 5 uL of FGFR4 was pipetted into a Corning (#3574) 384-well, white, non-binding surface microtiter plate (Corning, N.Y.), containing a 0.5 uL volume of 100% DMSO. The serially diluted compounds were prepared on a Tecan EVO100. A second addition of 10 ul of Tyr-Sox FGFR4 substrate was added to each well and the kinase reactions were started with the addition of 35 uL of 1.4xATP. The reactions were monitored every 71 seconds for 240 minutes at λex360/λem485 in a Synergy 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 ~60 minutes) from each reaction was determined from the slope of a plot of relative fluorescence units vs time (seconds) and 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: Inhibition Test for Each Compound of the Present Invention Against 20-HETE Producing Enzymes (CYP4F2 and CYP4A11): In the CYP4F2 inhibition test, the reaction solution containing each compound [final concentration of 50 mM, KPO4 (pH 7.4), 2.5 μM luciferine derivative, and 1 mM NADPH] was added to an Escherichia coli membrane fraction (100 μg/mL protein) in which human CYP4F2 had been expressed. In the CYP4A11 inhibition test, the reaction solution containing each compound [final concentration of 100 mM, Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 60 μM luciferine derivative, 1.3 mM NADP+, 3.3 mM Glucose 6-Phosphate, 3.3 mM MgCl2, and 0.4 U/mL Glucose 6-Phosphate dehydrogenase] was added to an Escherichia coli membrane fraction (100 μg/mL protein) in which human CYP4A11 had been expressed. Following this, the membrane fraction was left to stand at room temperature for 60 minutes to perform an enzymatic reaction. After the reaction, a luciferine detection reagent was added, and the luminescence value was measured using a plate reader. By using that value, the percent inhibition of 20-HETE producing enzyme (%) was calculated according to the equation described below, and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50 value) for each compound was calculated.

The 384-well cell-plates are incubated for 50 min at 37° C. in 5% CO2 followed by equilibration at rt for 30 min before measurement.Within the Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR Tetra, Molecular Devices), antagonists are added to the plate in a volume of 10 uL/well, incubated for 120 min and finally 10 uL/well of agonist is added. Fluorescence is measured for each well at 1 second intervals, and the height of each fluorescence peak is compared to the height of the fluorescence peak induced by 3 nM orexin-A with vehicle in place of antagonist. The IC50 value (the concentration of compound needed to inhibit 50% of the agonistic response) is determined and may be normalized using the obtained IC50 value of an on-plate reference compound. Optimized conditions were achieved by adjustment of pipetting speed and cell splitting regime. The calculated IC50 values may fluctuate depending on the daily cellular assay performance. Fluctuations of this kind are known to those skilled in the art. In the case where IC50 values have been determined several times for the same compound, the geometric mean has been given.

Assay: Inhibit Human Recombinant Assay: Human recombinant SSAO/VAP-1 amine oxidase activity was determined using the coupled colorimetric method as described for monoamine oxidase, copper-containing amine oxidases and related enzymes (Holt A. and Palcic M., A peroxidase-coupled continuous absorbance plate-reader assay for flavin monoamine oxidases, copper-containing amine oxidases and related enzymes. Nat Protoc 2006; 1: 2498-2505). Briefly, a cloned cDNA template corresponding to residues 34-763 of human SSAO/VAP-1, and incorporating a mouse Ig kappa (κ) signal sequence, N-terminal flag epitope tag and tobacco etch virus (TEV) cleavage site, was assembled in a mammalian expression vector (pLO-CMV) by Geneart AG. This vector containing human SSAO/VAP-1 residues was transfected into CHO-K1 glycosylation mutant cell line, Lec 8. A clone stably expressing human SSAO/VAP-1 was isolated and cultured in large scale. Active human SSAO/VAP-1 was purified and recovered using immunoaffinity chromatography. This was used as the source for SSAO/VAP-1 activity. A high-throughput colorimetric assay was developed using either 96 or 384 well format. Briefly, in a standard 96 well plate assay 50 μL of purified human SSAO/VAP-1 (0.25 μg/mL) in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) was added into each well. Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO and tested in a Concentration Response Curve (CRC) with 4-11 data points, typically in the micromolar or nanomolar range after incubation with human SSAO/VAP-1 for 30 min at 37° C.

Reaction product was determined quantitatively by TR-FRET after the addition of detection reagent Phycolink Streptavidin-allophycocyanin (Prozyme) and Europium-anti-mono- or di-methylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me1-2) antibody (PerkinElmer) in the presence of 5 mM EDTA in LANCE detection buffer (PerkinElmer) at a final concentration of 25 nM and 1 nM, respectively.The assay reaction was initiated by the following: 2 μl of the mixture of 900 nM H3K4me3-biotin labeled peptide and 6 μM alpha-ketoglutaric acid with 2 μl of 11-point serial diluted inhibitor in 3% DMSO was added to each well of the plate, followed by the addition of 2 μl of 2.4 nM Jarid1B to initiate the reaction. The reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes, and terminated by the addition of 6 μl of 5 mM EDTA in LANCE detection buffer containing 50 nM Phycolink Streptavidin-allophycocyanin and 2 nM Europium-anti-H3K4me1-2 antibody. Plates were read by EnVisionMultilabel Reader in TR-FRET mode (excitation at 320 nm, emission at 615 nm and 665 nm) after 1 hour incubation at room temperature. A ratio was calculated (665/615) for each well and fitted to determine inhibition constant (IC50).

Target: Adenosine receptor A2b (SINGLE PROTEIN), Homo sapiens
UniProt: P29275
Assay: Measurement of A2b Binding Affinity: The reported affinity of the compounds of the invention for the human A2b adenosine receptor was determined experimentally using a radioligand filtration binding assay. This assay measures the amount of binding of a tritiated proprietary A2b receptor antagonist, in the presence and absence of a compound of the invention, to membranes made from HEK293 cells recombinantly expressing the human A2b adenosine receptor (Perkin Elmer, Cat. No. ES-013-C).To perform the assay, compounds of the invention to be tested were first solubilized in 100% DMSO and further diluted in 100% DMSO to generate, typically, a 10-point titration at half-log intervals such that the final assay concentrations did not exceed 10 μM of compound or 1% DMSO. 148 μL (135 μg/mL) membranes and 2 μL test compounds were transferred to individual wells of a 96-well polypropylene assay plate and incubated for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature with agitation. Tritiated radioligand was diluted to a concentration of 14 nM in assay buffer (phosphate buffered saline without Magnesium and Calcium, pH 7.4; GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Cat. No. SH30256.01) and then 50 μL of the solution were transferred to each well of the assay plate. To define total and non-specific binding, wells containing 1% DMSO and 20 μM N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (Tocris Bioscience, Cat. No. 1691) respectively, were also included. The wells of the assay plate were incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes with agitation, then filtered using a FilterMate Harvester® (Perkin Elmer) or similar equipment through a UniFilter-96® PEI coated plate (Perkin Elmer Cat. No. 6005274 or 6005277). Filtering was achieved by aspirating the contents of the assay plate for 5 seconds, then washing and aspirating the contents three times with ice-cooled wash buffer (assay buffer supplemented with 0.0025% Brij58) and allowing the vacuum manifold to dry the plate for 30 seconds. The filter plate was incubated for at least 1 hour at 55° C. and allowed to dry. The bottom of the filter plate was then sealed with backing tape. 40 μL Ultima Gold (Perkin Elmer, Cat. No. 6013329) was added to each well of the filter plate and the top of the plate was sealed with TopSeal-A PLUS® clear plate seal (Perkin Elmer, Cat. No. 6050185). The plates were then incubated for at least 20 minutes, and then the amount of radioactivity remaining in each well was determined using a TopCount® (Perkin Elmer) scintillation counter. After normalization to total and non-specific binding, the percent effect at each compound concentration was calculated. The plot of percent effect versus the log of compound concentration was analyzed electronically using a 4-parameter logistic fit based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to generate IC50 values.

Assay: EED LC-MS Assay: Representative compounds of the present disclosure were serially and separately diluted 3-fold in DMSO to obtain a total of eight or twelve concentrations. Then the test compounds at each concentration (120 nL of each) were transferred by Mosquito into a 384-well Perkin Elmer ProxiPlate 384 plus plates. Solutions (6 μL) of 24 nM the wild type PRC2 (wtPRC2) complex and 2 μM SAM in reaction buffer (20 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 0.1% BSA, 0.01% Triton, 0.5 mM DTT) were added to the wells that were then incubated with the test compound for 20 min. A 6 μL solution of 3 μM of the peptide substrate H3K27Me0 (histone H3[21-44]-biotin) in reaction buffer was added to initiate each reaction. The final components in the reaction solution include 12 nM wtPRC2 complex, 1 μM SAM, and 1.5 μM H3K27me0 peptide with varying concentration of the compounds. A positive control consisted of the enzyme, 1 μM SAM and 1.5 μM substrate in the absence of the test compound, and a negative control consisted of 1 μM SAM and 1.5 μM substrate only. Each reaction was incubated at rt for 120 min, then stopped by addition of 3 μL per of quench solution (2.5% TFA with 320 nM d4-SAH). The reaction mixture was centrifuged (Eppendorf centrifuge 5810, Rotor A-4-62) for 2 min at 2000 rpm and read on an API 4000 triple quadrupole mass spec with Turbulon Spray (Applied Biosystem) coupled with Prominence UFLC (Shimadzu). The levels of SAH production were then normalized based on the values coming from the positive and negative controls to give percent enzyme activities. The data were then fit to a dose response equation using the program Helios to get the IC50 values of the test compound.

Assay: RORgammat ThermoFluor Assay: For the RORγt construct used in the ThermoFluor® assay, numbering for the nucleotide sequences was based on the reference sequence for human RORγt, transcript variant 2, NCBI Accession: NM_001001523.1 (SEQ ID NO:1). Nucleotides 850-1635 (SEQ ID NO:2) coding for the wild type human RORγt ligand binding domain (RORγt LBD) were cloned into the pHIS1 vector, a modified pET E. coli expression vector (Accelagen, San Diego), containing an in-frame N-terminal His-tag and a TurboTEV protease cleavage site (ENLYFQG, SEQ ID NO:3) upstream of the cloned insert sequence. The amino acid sequence for the RORγt construct used in the Thermofluor® assay is shown as SEQ ID NO:4.ThermoFluor® experiments were carried out using instruments owned by Janssen Research and Discovery, L.L.C. through its acquisition of 3-Dimensional Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 1,8-ANS (Invitrogen) was used as a fluorescent dye. Protein and compound solutions are dispensed into black 384-well polypropylene PCR microplates (Abgene) and overlayed with silicone oil (1 μL, Fluka, type DC 200) to prevent evaporation.Bar-coded assay plates are robotically loaded onto a thermostatically controlled PCR-type thermal block and then heated at a typical ramp-rate of 1° C./min for all experiments. Fluorescence was measured by continuous illumination with UV light (Hamamatsu LC6) supplied via fiber optic and filtered through a band-pass filter (380-400 nm; >6 OD cutoff). Fluorescence emission of the entire 384-well plate was detected by measuring light intensity using a CCD camera (Sensys, Roper Scientific) filtered to detect 500±25 nm, resulting in simultaneous and independent readings of all 384 wells. Images were collected at each temperature, and the sum of the pixel intensity in a given area of the assay plate was recorded versus temperature. Reference wells contained RORγt without compounds, and the assay conditions were as follows:0.065 mg/mL RORγt60 M 1,8-ANS100 mM Hepes, pH 7.010 mM NaCl2.5 mM GSH0.002% Tween-20Project compounds were arranged in a pre-dosed mother plate (Greiner Bio-one) wherein compounds are serially diluted in 100% DMSO by 1:2 from a high concentration of 10 mM over 12 columns within a series (column 12 is a reference well containing DMSO, no compound). The compounds were robotically dispensed directly into assay plates (1x=46 nL) using a Hummingbird capillary liquid handling instrument (Digilab). Following compound dispense, protein and dye in buffer was added to achieve the final assay volume of 3 μL, followed by 1 μL of silicone oil.

Assay: Transactivation assays: Transcriptional transactivation assays were performed with gal4 fusion receptor constructs, created using each of the RAR ligand binding domains of either mouse or human, co-transfected with the pFR-luc (Stratagene) reporter construct in COS-7 cells. Thus, transfected cells will constitutively express the gal4-RAR fusion protein which in turn may be transactivated by all trans retinoic acid (atRA) to induce the expression of the luciferase that is driven by a gal4UAS.Briefly, on day 1, 96 well plates were seeded with 8000 cells per well then left to recover overnight. On day 2, the cells were co-transfected with 100 ng of reporter plasmid and 10 ng of the appropriate receptor plasmid per well using lipofectamine (Invitrogen). On day 3, the lipofectamine containing media was replaced by a DMEM without phenol red, followed by the addition of test compound dissolved in 1 μL of DMSO to each well's 100 μL total volume. Finally, on day 4, the cells were lysed and their luciferase substrate was provided by the BrightGlo reagent (Promega), the plates were then read on the MicroBeta TriLux (Perkin Elmer).On each plate, an 8 point dose-response curve of atRA was run in duplicate and dose-response curves of test compounds were also generated in duplicate.EC50 data both for test compounds and atRA was generated by fitting dose-response curves using GraphPad Prism.

Assay: Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR): Binding interactions of ligands with STING proteins were quantified using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) with a minimally biotinylated STING protein immobilized on Streptavidin chip surface. In this manner highly active STING protein surfaces were obtained that were not compromised by a low pH required for amine coupling methods. Minimal biotinylation of purified huSTING protein was performed using a previously described methodology (Chabbra 2012). Briefly, approximately 20 nmol of recombinant STING protein in 1×TBS buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM DTT) was mixed with of EZ-LinkH Sulfo-NHS-LC-LC-Biotin (Thermofisher Scientific, cat #21338) at a molar ratio of 1 to 0.6 and then incubated on ice for 2 hours. To remove any unreacted biotin reagent, protein/biotin mixture was passed through a Superdex 75 (10/300 GL) column equilibrated with 10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM DTT, 5% (v/v) glycerol. A protein peak containing biotinylated huSTING protein was collected and stored in aliquots at −80° C. Streptavidin was simultaneously immobilized in all four channels of a CM5 sensor chip docked in a Biacore instrument (either Biacore S200 or Biacore T200, GE Healthcare) as described previously (Zender 2013). Minimally biotinylated STING protein was captured onto Streptavidin coated chip surface at 25° C. in SPR binding buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM TCEP, 2% (v/v) DMSO) gradually injected in a single channel at a constant flow-rate of 2 μL/min until SPR response increases were no longer observed resulting in typical capture levels of 5000 to 7000 RU (1 RU=1 μg/mm2). To determine binding affinity, compound interaction with immobilized STING protein was analysed using dose-response experiments. All binding experiments were performed at 25° C. in SPR binding buffer. Fresh 10 mM DMSO solutions of compound were diluted directly into SPR binding buffer to a final concentration of 10 μM and then further diluted either 2-fold or 3-fold aiming for either a 5- or 7-point concentration series range. Each ligand concentration series was injected at a constant flow rate of 60 μL/min with a 90 second association and a 180 second dissociation time. Scrubber 2 (www.biologic.com.au) was utilized for data processing and analysis. Thus, SPR signals were referenced against the blank surface (streptavidin+D-biotin) and further corrected for DMSO refractive index change and then double-referenced using a buffer-blank injection (Papalia 2006). To determine binding affinities (KD values) from dose-response experiments, binding responses at equilibrium were fit to either a 1:1 steady state affinity or to 1:1 binding kinetic models (both available within Scrubber software).
