| Description: | 148 μL, (5 μg/mL) membranes (Perkin Elmer, Cat. No. RBHA2aM4001A) and 2 μL compounds of the invention to be tested (test compound) were transferred to individual wells of a 96-well polypropylene assay plate and incubated for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature. [3H] SCH58261 ((7-(2-phenylethyl)-5-amino-2-(2-furyl)-pyrazolo-[4,3-e]-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine)) was diluted in assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.005% Tween20) to a concentration of 4 nM and 50 μL transferred to each well of the assay plate. To define total and non-specific binding, wells containing 1% DMSO and 1 μZM241385 (Tocris Bioscience, Cat No. 1036) respectively, were also included. The assay plate was incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes with agitation. Using a FilterMate Harvester® (Perkin Elmer), the contents of the assay plate were filtered through a UniFilter-96® PEI coated plate (Perkin Elmer Cat. No. 6005274 or 6005277). Filtering was achieved by aspirating the contents of the assay plate for 5 seconds, then washing and aspirating the contents three times with ice-cooled wash buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl) and allowing the vacuum manifold to dry the plate for 30 seconds. The filter plate was incubated for at least 1 hour at 55° C. and allowed to dry. The bottom of the filter plate was sealed with backing tape. 40 μL. Ultima Gold™ (Perkin Elmer, Cat. No. 6013329) was added to each well of the filter plate and the top of the plate was sealed with TopSeal-A PLUS® clear plate seal (Perkin Elmer, Cat. No. 6050185). The plate was incubated for at least 20 minutes, and then the amount of radioactivity remaining in each well was determined using a TopCown® (Perkin Elmer) scintillation counter. |
