| Description: | HEK293 cells stably expressing canine TRPM8 were routinely grown as monolayers in Dulbecco's minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin and 400 μg/mL G418. Cells were maintained in 5% CO2 at 37° C. At 24 hr prior to assay, cells were seeded in black wall, clear-base poly-D-lysine coated 384-well plates (BD Biosciences, NJ, USA) at a density of 5,000 cells per well in culture medium and grown overnight in 5% CO2 at 37° C. On assay day, growth media was removed, and cells were loaded with Calcium 3 Dye (Molecular Devices) for 35 min at 37° C., under 5% CO2 and then incubated for 25 min at room temperature and atmosphere. Subsequently, cells were tested for agonist-induced increases in intracellular Ca2+ levels using FLIPR™ or FDSS. Cells were treated with compounds of the formula (I) at varying concentrations and intracellular Ca2+ was measured for 5 min prior to the addition of icilin to each well to achieve a final concentration that produces an approximately 80% maximal response. |
