NOTES (numbers refer to sequence above)
1; HEK-293-SNCA-luc were cultured and suspended in phenol-red free DMEM (4.5 g/L glucose, 25 mM HEPES, cat #21063 (Thermo)).
3; Compounds were added to the assay plate in an 11-point intra plate dose response, 1:3 titration in DMSO with a final concentration range of xxx - yyy uM. Vehicle-only plates, with DMSO being pin-transferred to every well, were inserted at the beginning of screening runs to confirm expected assay performance. Activity was normalized to wells containing medium only (-100% activity, full inhibition) and SNCA-luc cells treated with DMSO vehicle control (0% activity), contained on the same plate as test samples.
10; Signals were analyzed, and dose-response curves were fit using the Hill equation. Compounds in curve classes -1.1, -1.2, -2.1, -2.2 in the SNCA-luc assay were considered active. Compounds were eliminated from further consideration if also active (curve class -1.1, -1.2, -1.3, -1.4, -2.1, -2.2, -2.3, -2.4) in the GF-AFC cytotoxicity assay.

Comment: Disclaimer:
Although all reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data, caution should be exercised when interpreting the results as artifacts are possible from nonspecific effects such as assay signal interference. The curve fitting and activity calls presented here are based on the NCATS analysis methods.

Compound Ranking:
1. Compounds are first classified as having full titration curves, partial modulation, partial curve (weaker actives), single point activity (at highest concentration only), or inactive. For this assay, apparent inhibitors are ranked higher than compounds that showed apparent activation.
2. For all inactive compounds, with a ratio activity curve class of 4, PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is 0. For all active compounds, a score range was given for each curve class type given above. Active compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 40 and 100. For a ratio activity curve class = -1.1, score = 80+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). For ratio.curve_class == -1.2 && abs(ratio.max_response) > 6*10, score = 60+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). For ratio.curve_class == -2.1 || ( ratio.curve_class==-2.2 && abs(ratio.max_response) > 6*10), score = 40+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). For ratio.curve_class == -1.2 || ratio.curve_class == -2.2, score = 20+abs((log_ac50+4.5)*inf_activity/20). Inconclusive compounds, with a donor curve class other than 4, have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE of 10. Inconclusive compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 1 and 39.

External ID: CHRM1_AG_FLUO8_1536_1X%ACT PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that act as agonists of the human M1 muscarinic receptor (CHRM1; M1). In this assay, CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human M1 are loaded, intracellularly with the calcium indicator dye, Fluo-8, followed by treatment with agonist control or test compounds. As designed, compounds that act as CHRM1 agonists will increase intracellular calcium mobilization, resulting in increased relative fluorescence of the indicator dye and well fluorescence. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 3 uM.

Protocol Summary:

The CHO-hM1 cell line was routinely cultured in T-175 sq cm flasks at 37 C and 95% relative humidity (RH). The growth media consisted of Ham's F-12 Nutrient Media (F-12) supplemented with 10% v/v heat-inactivated qualified fetal bovine serum, 20 mM HEPES, 50 ug/mL Geneticin, and 1X antibiotic mix (penicillin and streptomycin).

The day before the assay 3000 cells in 3 uL of growth media were seeded into each well of 1536 well microtiter plates and allowed to incubate at 37 C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH for 17-24 hours. Next, 2 uL of the fluorogenic Fluo-8 intracellular calcium indicator mixture (prepared according to the manufacturer's protocol) was added to each well. Plates were then incubated for 1 hour at 37 C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH, followed by 30 minute incubation at room temperature. Then, 15 nL of test compound in DMSO were dispensed to appropriate wells. The assay was started by performing a basal read of plate fluorescence (470-495 nm excitation and 515-575 nm emission) for 5 seconds on the FLIPR Tetra (Molecular Devices). Then a real time fluorescence measurement was immediately performed for the remaining 140 seconds of the assay. A ratio for each well was calculated to normalize assay data, according to the following mathematical expression:

Ratio = I_Max / I_Min

Where:

I_Max represents the maximum measured fluorescence emission intensity over the 140 second read.
I_Min represents the minimum (basal) measured fluorescence emission intensity before compound was added.

The percent activation was calculated from the median ratio as follows:

%_Activation = ( ( Ratio_Test_Compound - Median_Ratio_Low_Control ) / ( Median_Ratio_High_Control - Median_Ratio_Low_Control ) ) * 100

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound.
Low_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO.
High_Control is defined as wells containing Acetylcholine (EC100) and DMSO.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally activating compounds in the primary screen. Two values were calculated for each assay plate: (1) the average percent activation of test compound wells and (2) three times their standard deviation. The sum of these two values was used as a cutoff parameter for the entire run, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % activation than the entire screen's cutoff parameter was declared active.

The reported PubChem Activity Score has been normalized to 100% observed primary activation. Negative % activation values are reported as activity score zero.

The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-1, and for inactive compounds 1-0.

External ID: CHRM1_PAM_FLUO8_1536_1X%ACT PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that act as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) and increase activity of the human M1 muscarinic receptor (CHRM1; M1) in cells pre-treated with a known agonist. In this assay, CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human M1 are loaded with the Fluo-8 calcium indicator dye, followed by addition of test compounds and subsequent treatment with the activator acetylcholine at a concentration that results in 20% activation (EC20). As designed, compounds that act as CHRM1 PAMs will increase calcium mobilization, resulting in increased intracellular calcium and relative fluorescence of the indicator dye beyond that of the EC20 of acetylcholine. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 3 micromolar.

Protocol Summary:

The CHO-hM1 cell line was routinely cultured in T-175 sq cm flasks at 37 degrees C and 95% relative humidity (RH). The growth media consisted of Ham's F-12 Nutrient Media (F-12) supplemented with 10% v/v heat-inactivated qualified fetal bovine serum, 20 mM HEPES, 50 micrograms/mL Geneticin, and 1X antibiotic mix (penicillin and streptomycin).

The day before the assay 3000 cells in 3 microliters of growth media were seeded into each well of 1536 well microtiter plates and allowed to incubate at 37 degrees C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH for 17-24 hours. Next, 2 microliters of the fluorogenic Fluo-8 intracellular calcium indicator mixture (prepared according to the manufacturer's protocol) was added to each well. Plates were then incubated for 1 hour at 37 degrees C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH, followed by 30 minute incubation at room temperature. Then, 15 nL of test compound in DMSO were transferred to appropriate wells. The assay was started by performing a basal read of plate fluorescence (470-495 nm excitation and 515-575 nm emission) for 5 seconds on the FLIPR Tetra (Molecular Devices) prior to all wells being treated with an EC20 concentration of acetylcholine. Then a real time fluorescence measurement was immediately performed for the remaining 140 seconds of the assay. A ratio for each well was calculated to normalize assay data, according to the following mathematical expression:

Ratio = I_Max / I_Min

Where:

I_Max represents the maximum measured fluorescence emission intensity over the 140 second read and;
I_Min represents the minimum (basal) measured fluorescence emission intensity before compound was added.

The percent activation was calculated from the median ratio as follows:

% Activation = ( ( Ratio_Test_Compound - Median_Ratio_Low_Control ) / ( Median_Ratio_High_Control - Median_Ratio_Low_Control ) ) * 100

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound.
Low_Control is defined as wells containing Acetylcholine at EC20 and DMSO.
High_Control is defined as wells containing Acetylcholine (EC100) and DMSO.

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally activating compounds in the primary screen. Two values were calculated for each assay plate: (1) the average percent activation of test compound wells and (2) three times their standard deviation. The sum of these two values was used as a cutoff parameter on an individual plate basis, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % activation than the plate based cutoff parameter was declared active.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

The inactive compounds of this assay have an activity score range of 0 to 78 and the active compounds have an activity score range of 50 to 100.

The reported PubChem Activity Score has been normalized to 100% observed primary activation. Negative % activation values are reported as activity score zero.

Protocol: NCGC Assay Protocol Summary:

HERG assay (FluxORTM thallium flux assay) was initially developed by Invitrogen/Molecular Probes, and then miniaturized into 1536-well plate in a homogeneous format by NCGC. This assay measures the activity of potassium channel using thallium dye (FluxOR) flux as surrogate measurement for potassium into the cells with a FDSS-7000 kinetic plate reader (Hamamatsu Corp., Hamamatsu City, Japan). The hERG ion channel is transduced into mammalian cells (U2OS) using a baculovirus (Bacmam) construct harboring the hERG K+ ion channel. So far we screened LOPAC1280 library (Sigma), the NTP collection of 1408 compounds, and the NCGC Pharmaceutical Collection (NPC), in which many well defined HERG blockers are present. The rank order potencies of many of these compounds are similar to that of other HERG assays (membrane potential, Rb+ flux, patch clamp, etc). This quick and homogeneous assay is also found to be sensitive, specific, and robust.

Using the FluxORTM thallium flux assay, the activity of potassium channel using thallium dye (FluxOR) flux as surrogate measurement for potassium into the cells was measured in the U2OS cell line transduced with hERG K+ ion channel using a baculovirus (Bacmam) using Opti-MEM medium (Invitrogen) containing 2% fetal calf serum (FCS, HyCone) following loading buffer addition, compound treatment for around 10 minutes and finally adding stimulation buffer. The assay was performed in black clear Kalypsys 1536-well plates. In the screen, Astemizole was used as positive controls. Library compounds were measured for their ability to cause hERG channel blockage in the cell line, as reflected by a decrease in fluorescence intensity, in a concentration-dependent manner. Data were normalized to the controls for basal activity (DMSO only) and 100% inhibition (5uM Astemizole). AC50 values were determined from concentration-response data modeled with the standard Hill equation.

Protocol: Suspensions of trypsinized HEPG2 CAGA-GFP cells were dispensed into white, tissue culture-treated, solid 1536-well plates at 5uL/well (1000 cells/well final concentration) in DMEM medium supplemented with 1% FBS. Plates were incubated at 37 degrees C for 2 hours, after which 23 nL of compounds or DMSO were delivered to each well using a pin tool. One uL of recombinant TGF-beta in DMEM (1% FBS) was then dispensed (500 pg/mL final concentration), and plates were incubated at 37 degrees C for 18 hours. Two uL of CellTiter Glo (Promega), a luminescence-based viability reagent, was dispensed, followed by a 10 minute room temperature incubation. The plates were then measured on a PerkinElmer ViewLux plate reader for luminescence (clear filter) using a 5 second exposure. The %Activity was determined from the corrected luminescence values. Wells containing media only (no cells) were used to normalize %Activity of identified toxic compounds; media-only wells corresponded to 100%Activity (complete cell-killing), while DMSO-dosed cell controls were used to normalize 0%Activity (no toxicity).

Concentration-response curves were fitted to the signals arising from the resulting luminescence. The concentration-effect curves were then classified based on curve quality (r2), response magnitude and degree of measured activity, and compounds were subsequently categorized based on their curve class. Toxic compounds showed concentration-dependent decreases in luminescence, concordant with a decrease in intracellular ATP concentration (CellTiter Glo's marker of viability), and thus a decrease in the number of viable cells. Inactive (non-toxic) compounds showed no effect on luminescence signal. Active (toxic) compounds showed concentration dependent decrease in luminescence.

2. For all inactive (non-toxic) compounds, PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is 0. For all active (toxic) compounds, a score range was given for each curve class type given above. Active (toxic) compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 40 and 100. Inconclusive compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 1 and 39. Fit_LogAC50 was used for determining relative score and was scaled to each curve class' score range.

Comment: Compounds that demonstrated a corrected %Activity of >= 50% at 5 uM concentration are defined as actives in this assay.

The experimental values were normalized by the difference between values from neutral and stimulator control wells in each plate. Then normalized data was corrected to remove systematic plate patterns due to artifacts such as dispensing tip issues etc. Further information about data correction is available at http://www.genedata.com/products/screener.html.

To simplify the distinction between the inactives of the primary screen and of the confirmatory screening stage, the Tiered Activity Scoring System was developed and implemented. Its utilization for the assay is described below.

Activity Scoring
Activity scoring rules were devised to take into consideration compound efficacy, its potential interference with the assay and the screening stage that the data was obtained. Details of the Scoring System will be published elsewhere. Briefly, the outline of the scoring system utilized for the assay is as follows:
1) First tier (0-40 range) is reserved for primary and single-concentration confirmation screening data.
a. If outcome of the primary screen is inactive, then the assigned score is 0
b. If outcome of the primary screen is inconclusive, then the assigned score is 10
c. If outcome of the primary screen is active, then the assigned score is 20
d. If outcome of the single-concentration confirmation screen is inactive, then the assigned score is 21
e. If outcome of the single-concentration confirmation screen is inconclusive, then the assigned score is 25
f. If outcome of the single-concentration confirmation screen is active, then the assigned score is 30.
This scoring system helps track the stage of the testing of a particular SID. For the primary hits which are available for confirmation, their scores will be greater than 20. For those which are not further confirmed, their score will stay under 21.

2) Second tier (41-80 range) is reserved for dose-response confirmation data and is not applicable in this assay

3) Third tier (81-100 range) is reserved for resynthesized true positives and their analogues and is not applicable in this assay

External ID: CHRM1_ANT_FLUO8_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that act as antagonists and decrease activity of the human M1 muscarinic receptor (CHRM1; M1) that have been pre-treated with a known agonist, with the end result being a decrease in intracellular calcium. In this assay, CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human M1 are loaded with the Fluo-8 calcium indicator dye. Compounds are added followed by treatment with the activator acetylcholine at a concentration that results in 80% activation (Ec80). As designed, compounds that act as CHRM1 antagonists will decrease calcium mobilization, resulting in decreased relative fluorescence of the indicator dye below that of the Ec80 of acetylcholine. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 3 uM.

Protocol Summary:

The CHO-hM1 cell line was routinely cultured in T-175 sq cm flasks at 37 C and 95% relative humidity (RH). The growth media consisted of Ham's F-12 Nutrient Media (F-12) supplemented with 10% v/v heat-inactivated qualified fetal bovine serum, 20 mM HEPES, 50 ug/mL Geneticin, and 1X antibiotic mix (penicillin and streptomycin).

The day before the assay 3000 cells in 3 uL of growth media were seeded into each well of 1536 well microtiter plates and allowed to incubate at 37 C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH for 17-24 hours. Next, 2 uL of the fluorogenic Fluo-8 intracellular calcium indicator mixture (prepared according to the manufacturer's protocol) was added to each well. Plates were then incubated for 1 hour at 37 C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH, followed by 30 minute incubation at room temperature. Then, 15 nL of test compound in DMSO were transferred to appropriate wells. The assay was started by performing a basal read of plate fluorescence (470 - 495 nm excitation and 515 - 575 nm emission) for 5 seconds on the FLIPR Tetra (Molecular Devices) prior to all wells being treated with an EC80 concentration of acetylcholine. Then a real time fluorescence measurement was immediately performed for the remaining 140 seconds of the assay.

Hits for this assay were determined according to the following mathematical expression:

Ratio = I_Max / I_Min

Where:

I_Max represents the maximum measured fluorescence emission intensity over the 140 second read and,
I_Min represents the minimum (basal) measured fluorescence emission intensity before compound was added.

The percent inhibition was calculated from the median ratio as follows:

%_Inhibition = ( 1 - ( Ratio Test_Compound - Median_Ratio_High_Control ) / ( Median_Ratio_Low_Control - Median_Ratio_High_Control ) ) ) * 100

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound.
Low_Control is defined as wells containing Ec80 of acetylcholine and DMSO.
High_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally inhibiting compounds in the primary screen. Two values were calculated for each assay plate: (1) the average percent inhibition of test compound wells and (2) three times their standard deviation. The sum of these two values was used as a cutoff parameter for each plate, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % inhibition than that particular plate's cutoff parameter was declared active.

The reported PubChem Activity Score has been normalized to 100% observed inhibition. Negative % inhibition values are reported as activity score zero.

The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-7, and for inactive compounds 80-0.

In this assay not all plates were run in the same batch. This resulted in batch-to-batch variation among the different batches of plates, thereby necessitating the use of a plate-based activity cutoff. For this reason the inactive and active scores overlap.

Comment: Due to the increasing size of the MLPCN compound library, this assay may have been run as two or more separate campaigns, each campaign testing a unique set of compounds. All data reported were normalized on a per-plate basis. Possible artifacts of this assay can include, but are not limited to: dust or lint located in or on wells of the microtiter plate, and compounds that modulate well fluorescence. All test compound concentrations reported above and below are nominal; the specific test concentration(s) for a particular compound may vary based upon the actual sample provided by the MLSMR.

Protocol: Suspensions of trypsinized HEPG2 CAGA-GFP cells were dispensed into white, tissue culture-treated, solid 1536-well plates at 5uL/well (1000 cells/well final concentration) in DMEM medium supplemented with 1% FBS. Plates were incubated at 37 degrees C for 2 hours, after which 23 nL of compounds or DMSO were delivered to each well using a pin tool. One uL of recombinant TGF-beta in DMEM (1% FBS) was then dispensed (500 pg/mL final concentration), and plates were incubated at 37 degrees C for 18 hours. The plates were measured on an Acumen eX3 Explorer plate reader for GFP fluorescence (ex488/em500-530). GFP values were calculated by determining the mean GFP fluorescence of individual cells, and compiling these values for each well to determine a total well GFP signal. The %Activity was determined from the corrected fluorescence values. A titration of the known TGF-B inhibitor SB431542 was included to monitor plate performance, while unstimulated HEPG2 (-TGF-B) control wells were used to normalize %Activity of identified inhibitors; unstimulated wells corresponded to 100%Activity (full inhibition), while stimulated cell controls (+DMSO) were used to normalize 0%Activity (no inhibition).

Concentration-response curves were fitted to the signals arising from the resulting fluorescence. The concentration-effect curves were then classified based on curve quality (r2), response magnitude and degree of measured activity, and compounds were subsequently categorized based on their curve class. Active inhibitors showed concentration-dependent decreases in GFP fluorescence, concordant with a decrease in TGF-B/SMAD3-driven GFP expression. Inactive compounds showed no effect on fluorescence signal.

Comment: Compound Ranking:

1. Compounds are first classified as having full titration curves, partial modulation, partial curve (weaker actives), single point activity (at highest concentration only), or inactive. See data field "Curve Description". For this assay, apparent inhibitors are ranked higher than compounds that showed apparent activation.
2. For all inactive compounds, PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is 0. For all active compounds, a score range was given for each curve class type given above. Active compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 40 and 100. Inconclusive compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 1 and 39. Fit_LogAC50 was used for determining relative score and was scaled to each curve class' score range.
