| Description: | hERG (human ether go go-related gene) potassium channels are essential for normal electrical activity in the heart. Arrhythmia can be induced by a blockage of hERG channels by a diverse group of drugs. This side effect is a common reason for drug failure in preclinical safety trials and therefore minimisation of hERG channel blocking activity may be a desirable property for drug candidates.The purpose of the hERG binding assay is to evaluate the effects of test compounds on the voltage-dependent potassium channel encoded by the human ether go go-related gene (hERG) using a constitutively expressing CHO cell line on the Nanion Syncropatch 384PE automated patch clamp system.The assay was conducted as follows with all reagents used at room temperature unless otherwise stated.Reagent Preparations Include:1. Internal IC700 solution used to perfuse the underside of chip (in mM), KF 130, KCl 20, MgCl2 1, EGTA 10 and HEPES 10, (all Sigma-Aldrich; pH 7.2-7.3 using 10 M KOH, 320 mOsm) and supplemented with 25 □M escin.2. External and cell buffer (in mM), NaCl 137, KCl 4, HEPES 10, D-glucose 10, CaCl2 2, MgCl2 1 (pH7.4, NaOH)3. NMDG reference buffer used to establish a stable baseline prior to the addition of test compounds, NaCl 80, KCl 4, CaCl2 2, MgCl2 1, NMDG Cl 60, D-Glucose monohydrate 5, HEPES 10 (pH7.4 NaOH 298 mOsm)4. Seal enhancer used to improve seal quality of cells, NaCl 80, KCl 3, CaCl2 10, HEPES 10, MgCl2 1 (pH7.4 NaOH) |
