Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Evaluation of Activity for Inhibiting hERG Channel
Description:  The activity of the present compound for inhibiting hERG channel was measured by whole-cell patch clamp method with auto patch clamp system, using CHO cell wherein hERG channel involved in human rapidly activating delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) was forcibly expressed.(Preparation of Cell Suspension)hERG-CHO cell purchased from ChanTest was incubated at 37° C. in a CO2 incubator, and the cell was exfoliated from the flask with trypsin to prepare a cell suspension, shortly before the hERG current measurement.(Preparation of Solution)The extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid which were used in the measurement were prepared as follows.Extracellular fluid: 2 mmol/L CaCl2, 1 mmol/L MgCl2, 10 mmol/L HEPES, 4 mmol/L KCl, 145 mmol/L NaCl, 10 mmol/L glucoseIntracellular fluid: 5.4 mmol/L CaCl2, 1.8 mmol/L MgCl2, 10 mmol/L HEPES, 31 mmol/L KOH, 10 mmol/L EGTA, 120 mmol/L KCl, 4 mmol/L Na2-ATPTest compound solution: The test compound was dissolved in DMSO by adjusting the concentration to 2 mmol/L or 20 mmol/L to prepare each test compound solution. Further, the test compound solution was diluted with the extracellular fluid by 200-fold, which was serially diluted with the extracellular fluid to prepare each concentration of the test compound solution which is used to calculate IC50 value of hERG inhibition.
