- Cellular Assay ATM and ATR have distinct and overlapping responses to DNA damage. They must participate together and responses must be co-ordinated. Both pathways may be activated by ionising radiation, however only ATR is activated by UV. Since UV treatment is not practical for use in a high throught-put cell assay, the UV mimetic 4NQ0 (Sigma) was chosen to activate the ATR DNA damage response pathway.

- Dose Response Confirmation for Small Molecule Inhibitors of Epstein-Barr Virus NIH Molecular Libraries Screening Centers Network [MLSCN] Emory Chemical Biology Discovery Center in MLSCN Assay provider: Theodore Jardetzky; Northwestern University MLSCN Grant: 1R21NS059415-01 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), or human herpes virus 4 (HHV-4), is a member of the larger herpesvirus family that consists of three subfamilies (##, ##, ##). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an extremely prevalent human herpesvirus. Disease syndromes in humans caused by EBV reflect the cell types that EBV infects, which are primarily of lymphoid or epithelial origin. Infection of both cell types is associated with a variety of proliferative disorders and cancers. Current treatments for such malignancies are traditional chemotherapy, radiation-therapy, surgery, and if possible, restoration of immune system function. Like all herpesviruses, EBV has mechanisms to evade the immune system and maintain latency in the human host. A treatment directed specifically against EBV could significantly improve patie

The culture fluid in the culture plate was removed, and the cultured cells were washed twice with DPBS and subjected to warm bath in DPBS buffer solution at 37° C. for 10 min, and then a solution (500 μL) containing radioactive labeled probe substrate ([8-14C] uric acid) and 10 μM test compound (or blank) was used to substitute for DPBS, with the concentration of [8-14C] uric acid being 30 μM and the radiation intensity per well being 0.867 μCi. After 2 min, the reaction was terminated with ice-bathed DPBS buffer solution and washing was carried out for three times. Then 0.1 mol/L NaOH (500 μL) was added into each well to lyse the cells, the lysate was extracted into a scintillation vial and a scintillation fluid (Aquasol-2, 3 mL) was added, and the intensity of radioactivity in the sample was measured using a Tri-Carb 2910TR liquid scintillation analyzer (PerkinElmer, Waltham, USA). The concentration of a certain specific test compound was changed and a series of concentration points (nine concentration points were set between 0.001-10 μM) were set, to obtain the inhibition rates of the specific test compound at the above 9 concentration points. IC50 values for inhibition of the test compounds on URAT1 were calculated using the PRISM software based on the inhibition rate values of the test compound at different concentrations.
- Radio-Ligand ROR gamma Binding Assay (Assay 1) Compounds of the present invention were tested for ability to bind to ROR gamma in a cell-free competition assay with commercially available radio-ligand (RL), 25-hydroxy [26,27-3H]-cholesterol (PerkinElmer, Cat. # NET674250UC), for a ligand binding site on a recombinant ROR gamma Ligand Binding Domain (LBD) protein expressed as a 6×His-Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) fusion. The assay was performed in 96-well SPA plates (PerkinElmer, Cat. #1450-401) in 50 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 10% (v/v) glycerol, 2 mM CHAPS, 0.5 mM β-octylglucopyranoside and 5 mM DTT. Tested compounds were dissolved in DMSO, and semi-log (3.162×) serial dilutions of the compounds were prepared in the same solvent. Two μL of the DMSO solutions were mixed with 28 μL of 8.6 nM 25-hydroxy [26,27-3H]-cholesterol and 50 μL of 24 nM ROR gamma LBD. The plate was shaken at 700 rpm for 20 min and incubated for 10 min at rt, after which 40 μL of poly-Lys YSi SPA beads (PerkinElmer, Cat. # RPNQ0010) were added to achieve 50 μg of the beads per well. The plate was incubated on an orbital shaker for 20 min and then for 10 min without agitation at rt. SPA signal for tritium beta radiation was registered on PerkinElmer Microbeta plate reader. Percent inhibition values were calculated based on the high signal obtained with DMSO control and the low signal observed with 10 μM standard ROR gamma inverse agonist T0901317 (SigmaAldrich, Cat. # T2320). The percent inhibition vs. concentration data were fit into a four-parameter model, and IC50 values were calculated from the fit as the concentrations corresponding to the inflection points on the dose-response curves.

- In Vitro ATP-33P Casein Assay "U"-bottomed Falcon plates are prepared by placing 5 uL of solutions of the compounds according to the invention at concentrations of 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01 or 0.001 uM in different wells. The solutions of the compounds according to the invention at these various concentrations are prepared by diluting in a test buffer (Tris 50 mM pH 7.5, MgCl2 10 M, DTT 2 mM and EGTA 1 mM) a stock solution in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM. Next, 5 uL of dephosphorylated casein are added to a final concentration of 0.2 ug/uL, 20 uL of CK1 epsilon to a final concentration of 3 ng/uL, and 20 uL of ATP-33P to a final concentration of 0.02 uCi/uL mixed with cold ATP (10 uM final approximately 2x106 CPM per well). The final total test volume per well is equal to 50 uL. The "U"-bottomed Falcon test plate mentioned above is vortexed, and then incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. After 2 hours the reaction is stopped by adding an ice-cold solution of 65 uL of cold ATP (2 mM) prepared in test buffer. 100 uL of the reaction mixture are then transferred from the "U"-bottomed Falcon plate into Millipore MAPH filter plates, preimpregnated with 25 uL of ice-cold 100% TCA. The Millipore MAPH filter plates are agitated gently and are left to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to precipitate the proteins. After 30 minutes, the filter plates are sequentially washed and filtered with 2x150 uL of 20% TCA, 2x150 uL of 10% TCA and 2x150 uL of 5% TCA (6 washes in total per plate/900 uL per well). The plates are left to dry overnight at room temperature. Next, 40 uL of Microscint-20 Packard scintillation liquid are added per well and the plates are closed in a leaktight manner. The radiation emitted by each well is then measured for 2 minutes in a TopCount NXT Packard scintillation counter, in which the values of CPM/well are measured.
