Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Affinity
Description:  The in vitro affinity of the compounds of the present invention for the CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors is determined on a functional test of β-arrestin recruitment type after activation of the receptor.It has been demonstrated that activation by CXCL8 of the CXCR2 receptor in cells of the PathHunter HEK293-CXCR2 line or of the CXCR1 receptor in cells of the U2OS h CXCR1 β-arrestin line leads to the recruitment of β-arrestin (Richardson, R. M., R. J. Marjoram, L. S. Barak, R. Snyderman. 2003. Role of the cytoplasmic tails of CXCR1 and CXCR2 in mediating leukocyte migration, activation, and regulation. J. Immunol. 170: 2904-2911).To evaluate the direct interaction of the CXCR2 or CXCR1 receptor with β-arrestin 2, a test of β-arrestin 2 recruitment for CXCR2 or CXCR1 based on complementation of the β-galactosidase enzyme (Olson K. R., Eglen R. M., Beta-galactosidase complementation: a cell-based luminescent assay platform for drug discovery. Assay Drug Dev. Technol. 2007 February; 5(1); 137-44), as established by DiscoveRx Corporation was used. Stimulation of these two cell lines with CXCL8 (10 nM) induces the recruitment of β-arrestin 2, as indicated by a significant increase in the induction factor. All the CXCR2 antagonists are tested in a dose-dependent manner and the concentration corresponding to 50% inhibition of the response is determined (IC50=concentration of half-inhibition).β-Arrestin Recruitment Test: PathHunter HEK293-CXCR2 or U2OS hCXCR1 β-arrestin cells (DiscoveRx Corporation) were seeded overnight at 10 000 cells/well (384-well format) in 20 μl of Opti MEM I medium. Preincubation with the antagonist or the vehicle for 30 minutes at 37° C. and 5% CO2 was followed by 60 minutes of stimulation with CXCL8 at 37° C. and 5% CO2. The cells were then placed at room temperature for 30 minutes. The PathHunter detection reagent (DiscoveRx Corporation) was added. After incubation for 60 minutes at room temperature, the β-galactosidase induced by the luminescence during the β-arrestin-CXCR2 interaction was measured for 0.3 s in an Envision 2102 Multilabel Reader (PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences). The data are analysed via a non-linear curve procedure using the XLFit4 (IDBS) exploitation software, and the IC50 values are determined.
