Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  competition binding assay
Description:  The following table shows representative data for the compounds of the Examples as A2a receptor antagonists as determined by a competition binding assay using Scintillation Proximity technology. Thus, 1.0 μg of membranes from CHO-K1 cells expressing the human A2a receptor were incubated with a compound of the invention at concentrations ranging from 3000 nM to 0.15 nM in a reaction mixture also containing 2.0 nM of a tritiated form of 5-amino-7-[2-phenethyl]-2-(furan-2-yl)-7H-pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine (the tritiated compound) and 100 μg of wheatgerm agglutin-coated yttrium silicate SPA beads for one hour at room temperature with agitation. The beads were then allowed to settle to the bottom of the wells for 1 hr, after which the membrane-associated radioactivity was determined by scintillation counting in a TopCount microplate reader. Ki values were determined using the Cheng-Prusoff equation.
