| Description: | PDE10 activity of the compounds of the present invention was determined using a Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA)-based method similar to the one previously described (Fawcett, L. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (2000) 97(7):3702-3707).The human PDE10A full length assay was performed in 96-well micro titer plates. The reaction mixture of 50 ul contained 20 mM HEPES pH=7.5/10 mM MgCl2/0.05 mg/ml BSA (Sigma cat. # A-7906), 50 nM cGMP (Sigma, cat. # G6129) and 50 nM [3H]-cGMP (GE Healthcare, cat. # TRK392 S.A. 13.2 Ci/mmol), 3.75 ng/well PDE10A enzyme (Enzo Life Science, Lausen, Switzerland cat #SE-534) with or without a specific test compound. A range of concentrations of the potential inhibitor was used to generate data for calculating the concentration of inhibitor resulting in 50% of the effect (e.g. IC50, the concentration of the competitor inhibiting PDE10A activity by 50%). Non-specific activity was tested without the enzyme. |
