| | Measuring Inhibition of the TRPA1 Ion Channel |
| Description: | Compounds of Formula (I) inhibit the TRPA1 channel, as shown by measuring the in vitro inhibition of human TRPA1, provided in data tables shown in Table 2, using the procedure outlined in del Camino et al., The Journal of Neuroscience, 30(45):15165-15174 (Nov. 10, 2010), incorporated herein by reference and summarized below. Data for TRPA1 inhibition was obtained by this method for the indicated compounds of Formula (I), with the relevant data included in Table 2 below. All currents were recorded in whole-cell configuration using EPC-9 and EPC-10 amplifiers and Patchmaster software (HEKA) or similar. Patch pipettes had a resistance of 1.5-3 M and up to 75% of the series resistance was compensated. The standard pipette solution consisted of 140 mM CsAsp, 10 mM EGTA, 10 mM HEPES, 2.27 mM, 20 MgCl2, 1.91 mM CaCl2, and up to 0.3 mM Na2GTP, with pH adjusted to 7.2 with CsOH. In addition, a solution containing 145 mM CsCl, 10 mM HEPES, 10 mM EGTA, and up to 0.3 mM Na2GTP and 1 mM MgCl2 (pH 7.2 adjusted with CsOH) can be used. The standard bath solution contained 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM HEPES, 10 mM glucose, 4.5 mM KCl, 1 mM EGTA, 3 mM MgCl2, with pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH. In some instances, 2 mM CaCl2 was added in place of EGTA and the concentration of MgCl2 was reduced to 1 mM.Data were collected either by continuous recordings at −60 mV or by applying voltage ramps from a holding potential of −40 mV every 4 s. Continuous recordings were collected at 400 Hz and digitally filtered off-line at 10 Hz for presentation. Voltage ramps were applied from −100 mV or −80 mV to +100 mV or +80 mV over the course of 400 ms, and data were collected at 10 kHz and filtered at 2.9 kHz. Inward and outward currents were analyzed from the ramps at −80 and 80 mV, respectively. Liquid junction potential correction was not used. |
