Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Binding Activity Assay
Description:  The binding affinity of the present compounds to human 5-HT1A receptor, human D4 receptor, and human D2 receptor was measured in a manner mentioned below.CHO cell membrane fraction in which human 5-HT1A receptor, human D4 receptor, and human D2 receptor were expressed was purchased from PerkinElmer Co., Ltd. In the evaluation test of binding, the test compound dissolved in DMSO, each receptor membrane preparation diluted with buffer solution, and [3H] 8-OH-DPAT (for 5-HT1A receptor), [3H] dopamine (for D4 receptor), or [3H] spiperone (for D2 receptor) (all were obtained from PerkinElmer Co., Ltd.) were mixed, and each mixture was incubated at room temperature for 30 or 60 minutes. The nonspecific binding to each receptor was evaluated by a competition binding experiment in the presence of 10 μmol/L 8-OH-DPAT, 10 μmol/L dopamine, or 10 μmol/L spiperone, respectively. The radioactivity of each receptor-binding sample was measured with a liquid scintillation counter (PerkinElmer Co., Ltd.), the 50% inhibitory concentration was calculated, and Ki value was evaluated based on the dissociation constant and the substrate concentration caluculated in the saturated bond test, which was used as binding affinity.
