| | Fluorescence Polarization Assay |
| Description: | The fluorescence polarization assay for cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases was performed using an IMAP FP kit supplied by Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif. (product # R8139). IMAP technology has been applied previously to phosphodiesterase assays (Huang, W., et al., J. Biomol Screen, 2002, 7: 215). Assays were performed at room temperature in 384-well microtiter plates with an incubation volume of 20.2 μL. Solutions of test compounds were prepared in DMSO and serially diluted with DMSO to yield 8 μL of each of 10 solutions differing by 3-fold in concentration, at 32 serial dilutions per plate. 100% inhibition is determined using a known PDE10 inhibitor, which can be any compound that is present at 5,000 times its Ki value in the assay described as follows, such as papaverine (see Siuciak, et al. Neuropharmacology (2006) 51:386-396; Becker, et al. Behav Brain Res (2008) 186(2):155-60; |
