Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Binding Assay
Description:  Binding affinity (Ki) of compounds was measured by inhibition of radioligand binding to membranes from CHO cells expressing human M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5 receptors. Membranes were prepared by nitrogen cavitation and differential centrifugation as previously described (Hoare et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 2003 March; 63(3): 751-65). The radioligand employed was tritiated N-methylscopolamine, used at a concentration of 1.5 nM. A dose-response of twelve concentrations of compound was used, ranging from 10 M to 32 M. The assay buffer was 50 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, pH-adjusted to pH 7.4.
