| Description: | EC50 (the effective concentration of an agonist that produces half of the maximal effect) and Emax (the maximal cAMP level generated by the biding of a ligand) can be used as a measure of potency. In some embodiments, the TAAR1 agonists or partial agonists of the present disclosure have EC50≤10 μm, or EC50≤1 μm. An in vitro cAMP assay (agonist activity assay) is described below.cAMP Hunter cell lines were expanded from freezer stocks according to standard procedures. Cells were seeded in a total volume of 20 μL into white walled, 384-well microplates and incubated at 37° C. overnight prior to testing. cAMP modulation was determined using the HitHunter cAMP XS+ assay (DiscoverX, Fremont, Calif.).On the day of test, media was aspirated from cells and replaced with 15 μL HBSS/10 mM HEPES. A plate centrifuge was used for the media exchange, and the plate centrifuge was immediately stopped once its speed hit 270 RPM.5 μL of 4× compound (prepared in HBSS/10 mM HEPES/4% DMSO) was added to cells and incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes. Final assay vehicle concentration was 1%.5 μL of cAMP XS+ Antibody reagent was then added, followed by 20 μL of ED/CL lysis mix. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. 20 μL of EA reagent was added, and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 120 minutes.Microplates were read following signal generation with a PerkinElmer Envision instrument (Waltham, Mass.) for chemiluminescent signal detection. Compound activity was analyzed using CBIS Data Analysis Suite (ChemInnovation, CA). |
