| Description: | Evaluation of a human P2X7 receptor inhibitory activity Stably expressing cell line (1321N1 cell transfected with the human P2X7 receptor gene (GenBank accession number NM_002562.5 including T606C and G952A SNP)) was used. The cells were seeded in a 384-well microtiter plate at a concentration of 8000 cells/well and cultured in the medium (10% fetal bovine serum, 25 mM HEPES, 1% penicillin and streptomycin in DMEM) for one day at 37° C. under 5% carbon dioxide atmosphere. After replacing with 20 μL of the HBSS buffer (20 mM HEPES, 55.6 mM D-glucose, 1× HBSS(−), pH7.4-7.5), 15 μL of 17.3 μM Yo-Pro solution in the HBSS buffer was added. The plate was placed in high-throughput cellular screening system FLIPR TETRA (Molecullar Devices, LLC.) and 15 μL of 130 μM BzATP solution in the HBSS buffer was added. Measurement of fluorescence intensity by FLIPR TETRA was started. After eight minutes, 15 μL of DMSO solutions containing different concentrations of the compound of the present invention as prepared by dilution with the HBSS buffer were dispensed to each well through the built-in automatic dispenser, and the measurement of fluorescence intensity was continued for 20 minutes. The maximum fluorescence intensity without the compound of the present invention is calculated as 0% inhibition and the maximum fluorescence intensity when the reference compound was added is calculated as 100% inhibition. |
