Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Measurement of Sodium Ion Channel Blocking Effects
Description:  In order to measure the sodium ion channel blocking effect, an IonFlux16 Auto patch clamp system (Fluxion, Inc.) and a plate for exclusive use were used. The cells were distributed in an extracellular solution (4 mM KCl, 138 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1.8 mM CaCl2, 5.6 mM glucose, 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.45), and then dispensed in the specified region of the plate, and each of the prepared compound samples was diluted at various concentrations, and then dispensed in the specified region of the plate. After the dispensation of the cells, the compound samples and an intracellular solution (100 mM CsF, 45 mM CsCl, 5 mM NaCl, 5 mM EGTA, 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.2) in the plate has been completed, the plate was mounted in the patch clamp system, and whether the compounds inhibited the ion channel was measured according to a set program.Specifically, eight concentrations per compound were set, and percent inhibition was determined by calculating the percentage of inhibition of the peak current, generated after treating the cells with each concentration of the compound for 50 seconds, relative to the peak current generated before treatment with the compound, and the IC50 value was calculated using the Sigma plot program.
