Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  5HT1A Competitive Binding Assay
Description:  Competitive binding assay (Eurofins Cerep) was performed using human recombinant 5-HT1A transfected to HEK-293 cells, [3H]8-OHDPAT (0.5 nM) and the test compound from Example 1 was tested at 8 concentrations ranging from 0.01 mM to 30 mM (Choi D S et al. FEBS Letters 1994, 352, 393). The analysis was performed using software developed at Cerep (Hill software) and validated by comparison with data generated by the commercial software SigmaPlot® 4.0 for Windows® (© 1997 by SPSS Inc). The binding constant (Ki 540 nM) were calculated using the Cheng Prusoff equation. The compound is a modest agonist at the 5HT1A receptor, but prefers the 5HT2A receptor (Ki 110 nM) by about 5-fold selectivity.
