| Description: | The TAAR1 radioligand 3[H](S)-4-[(ethyl-phenyl-amino)-methyl]-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-ylamine (described in WO 2008/098857) was used at a concentration equal to the calculated Kd value, that was usually around 0.7 nM, resulting in the binding of approximately 0.5% of the radioligand and a specific binding representing approximately 70% of the total binding. Nonspecific binding was defined as the amount of 3[H](S)-4-[(ethyl-phenyl-amino)-methyl]-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-ylamine bound in the presence of 10 uM unlabeled ligand. All compounds were tested at a broad range of concentrations (10 uM to 10 uM) in duplicates. The test compounds (20 ul/well) were transferred into a 96 deep well plate (Treff Lab), and 180 ul of HEPES-NaOH (20 mM, pH 7.4) containing MgCl2 (10 mM) and CaCl2 (2 mM) (binding buffer), 300 ul of the radioligand 3[H](S)-4-[(ethyl-phenyl-amino)-methyl]-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-ylamine at a concentration of 3.3 Kd in nM. |
