| Description: | Human V1b receptor was transiently expressed in 293FT cells (Invitrogen). The cells were collected and then homogenated in a 15 mmol/L tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4 and containing 2 mmol/L magnesium chloride, 0.3 mmol/L ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, and 1 mmol/L glycol ether diaminetetraacetic acid). The resulting homogenate was centrifuged at 50,000xg at 4° C. for 20 minutes. The precipitate was resuspended in a 75 mmol/L tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4 and containing 12.5 mmol/L magnesium chloride, 0.3 mmol/L ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, 1 mmol/L glycol ether diaminetetraacetic acid, and 250 mmol/L sucrose) to give a crude membrane preparation, which was stored at 80° C. until the binding test was initiated. In the binding test, the crude membrane preparation was diluted with a 50 mmol/L tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4 and containing 10 mmol/L magnesium chloride and 0.1% bovine serum albumin) and mixed with each test compound and [3H]AVP (final concentration: 0.4 to 1 nmol/L), followed by incubation at room temperature for 60 minutes. The test compound was serially diluted with DMSO so that it would have final concentrations of 0.01 nmol/L to 1 umol/L at the time of mixing. After the incubation, the mixture was suction filtered through a GF/C filter that was preliminarily impregnated with 0.3% polyethyleneimine. The GF/C filter was dried and after adding a scintillator, the residual radioactivity on the filter was measured using TopCount (PerkinElmer Inc.). The radioactivity in the presence of unlabeled AVP at 10 mmol/L was defined as 0%, and the radioactivity in the absence of unlabeled AVP was defined as 100%. A dose-response curve was plotted from radio activities in the presence of a test compound at various concentrations, and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated. The IC50 values of the compounds of the present invention were in the range of 0.1 to 1000 nM. |
