Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biological Assay
Description:  The utility of the compounds in accordance with the present invention as antagonists of metabotropic glutamate receptor activity, in particular mGluR2 activity, may be demonstrated by methodology known in the art. Antagonist constants are determined as follows. The compounds of the present invention were tested in a fluorescence laser imaging plate reader based assay. This assay is a common functional assay to monitor Ca2+ mobilization in whole cells expressing recombinant receptor coupled with a promiscuous G-protein. CHO dhfr- cells stably expressing recombinant human mGluR2 and Gα16 loaded with Fluo-4 AM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad Calif.) are treated with various concentrations of antagonists of compounds and the Ca2+ response is monitored on a FLIPR384 (Molecular Devices, Sunnydale Calif.) for agonist activity.
