| Description: | Inhibition of human dopamine reuptake transporter was assayed using the recombinant human dopamine transporter expressed in either CHO-K1 or HEK293 cells using a published method (Pristupa, Z. B. et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 45: 125-135, 1994). Either CHO-K1 or HEK293 cells expressing human recombinant dopamine transporter were plated before the assay. Test compound and/or vehicle was preincubated with cells in modified HEPES buffer pH 7.1 or pH 7.4 for 20 minutes at 18 to 25° C. and 50 nM [3H]dopamine was then added for an additional timed incubation period (10 to 30 minutes). After washing the cells to remove [3H]dopamine not internalized, the cells were lysed, and the amount of tritium in the lysate was measured using a liquid scintillation counter to determine [3H]dopamine uptake. Non-specific binding of tritium was measured in a control reaction containing 10 uM nomifensine, and was subtracted from the counts for assays to correct for non-specific binding of tritium. Reduction of [3H]dopamine uptake by 50 percent or more (50%) relative to an uninhibited control reaction indicates significant inhibitory activity. Compounds were screened at 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 uM. The reference compound for the assay was nomifensine, for which the IC50 value of 11 nM was obtained in a typical experiment. |
