| | Rat Synaptosome Binding Assay |
| Description: | The synaptosomes (150 μg) prepared from a rat brain were incubated at 37° C. for 15 minutes with 0.1 μCi [3H]5-HT in the absence or presence of the test compound or the reference compound in a buffer solution containing 106.2 mM NaCl, 4.5 mM KCl, 2.25 mM MgSO4, 1.08 mM NaH2PO4, 22.5 mM NaHCO3, 9.9 mM glucose, 9 μM EGTA and 45 μM ascorbic acid (pH 7.4).The basal control activity was determined by incubating the same mixture at 4° C. for 15 minutes in the presence of 10 μM imipramine to block the uptake of 5-HT, which was taken as the standard reference compound and tested in each experiment at several concentrations to obtain an inhibition curve.Following the incubation, the samples were filtered rapidly under vacuum through glass fiber filters (GF/B, Packard) and rinsed twice with an ice-cold incubation buffer using a 96-sample cell harvester (Unifilter, Packard) to eliminate free [3H]5-HT. The filters were dried and the retained radioactivity was measured in a scintillation counter (Topcount, Packard) using a scintillation cocktail (Microscint 0, Packard). The experimental results were expressed as a percent inhibition of the control uptake of [3H]5-HT.Data AnalysisInhibition of serotonin transporter in rat synaptosome was measured by the concentrations of [3H]5-HT. The test compounds were required to be tested at least twice in the case of the concentration thereof being greater than 6 log, and the obtained data were subjected to a nonlinear regression analysis via a curve of Hill equation, to obtain IC50 value. |
