Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  E-VIPR Assay Detecting and Measuring Nav Inhibition Properties
Description:  Assay Protocol (7 Key Steps):1) To reach the final concentration in each well, 400 nL of each compound was pre-spotted (in neat DMSO) into polypropylene compound plates at 250×desired final concentration from an intermediate stock concentration of 0.075 mM, in an 11 point dose response, 3-fold dilution, resulting in a top dose of 300 nM final concentration in the cell plate. Vehicle control (neat DMSO), and positive control (an established Nav1.8 inhibitor, 25 μM final in assay in DMSO) were added manually to the outermost columns of each plate respectively. The compound plate was backfilled with 45 μL per well of Compound Loading Buffer resulting in a 250 fold dilution of compound following a 1:1 transfer of compound into the cell plate (see Step 6). Final DMSO concentration for all wells in the assay was 0.625% (0.75% DMSO was supplemented to the Compound Loading Buffer for a final DMSO concentration of 0.625%). This assay dilution protocol was adjusted to enable a higher dose range to be tested in the presence of HS or if the final assay volume was altered.2) Hexyl Dye Solution was prepared.3) Cell plates were prepared. On the day of the assay, the media was aspirated, and the cells were washed three times with 80 μL of Bath-1 buffer, maintaining 25 μL residual volume in each well.4) 25 μL per well of Hexyl Dye Solution was dispensed into the cell plates. The cells were incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature or ambient conditions in darkness.5) 45 μL per well of Compound Loading Buffer was dispensed into compound plates.6) The cell plates were washed three times with 80 μL per well of Bath-1 Buffer, leaving 25 μL of residual volume. Then 25 μL per well from compound plate was transferred to each cell plate. The mixture was incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature/ambient conditions.7) The cell plate containing compound was read on E-VIPR using the current-controlled amplifier to deliver stimulation wave pulses using a symmetrical biphasic waveform. The user-programmed electrical stimulus protocols were 1.25-4 Amps and 4-6 millisecond pulse width (dependent on electrode composition) were delivered at 10 Hz for 10 seconds. A pre-stimulus recording was performed for each well for 0.5 seconds to obtain the un-stimulated intensities baseline. The stimulatory waveform was followed by 0.5 seconds of post-stimulation recording to examine the relaxation to the resting state. All E-VIPR responses were measured at 200 Hz acquisition rate.
