Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Competition Binding Assay
Description:  The affinity of the compounds of the invention to the human DAT or NET or SERT transporters is assessed by using the [3H]WIN-35,428 or [3H]nisoxetine or [3H]citalopram binding assays in recombinant human DAT, NET and SERT membranes with the SPA technology. The final assay volume is 50 μL in 384 well plates.Briefly, 0.5 μL of test compound in neat DMSO or 0.5 μL of DMSO for total binding (TB) or 0.5 μL of indatraline 1 mM (10 μM final concentration) for non specific binding (NSB) are added to the assay plate. 50 μL of the SPA mixture is added to each well, containing: 30 μg/mL or 10 μg/mL or 25 μg/mL DAT, NET, SERT membranes, respectively; 5 nM [3H]WIN-35,428 or 5 nM [3H]nisoxetine or 1 nM [3H]citalopram, for DAT, NET, SERT assay, respectively; 2.5 mg/mL or 1 mg/mL or 4 mg/mL WGA-PVT SPA beads (PerkinElmer RPNQ0001, for DAT, NET, SERT assay, respectively. All components are added to Assay Buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 145 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 0.01% Pluronic F-127). 0.02% BSA was used for DAT binding only. Plates are sealed with Topseal A and centrifuged 1 min, 800 rpm. Plates are loaded into a 1450 Microbeta TriLux (Perkin-Elmer) plate reader and the radioactivity counted after at least 4 hrs or overnight incubation at room temperature. Curve fitting and IC50 estimations are performed using a four parameter model in XLfit (IDBS, Guilford, UK) for Microdoft Excel (Microsoft, Redmond, Wash.).
