External ID: ADAM17_INH_QFRET_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that inhibit ADAM17. This assay employs a fluorophore and quencher pair. F =EDANS fluorophore, Q = DABCYL quencher. When intact, EDANS emission at 460nm is quenched by DABCYL via fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Upon cleavage of the scissile bond (A~V) by ADAM protease, the distance between fluorophore and quencher increases resulting in fluorescence increase at 460nm. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 6.95 micromolar.

Protocol Summary:

Prior to the start of the assay, 2.5 microliters 2X ADAM17 enzyme (20 nM in Assay Buffer: 50 mM HEPES, 0.01% Brij, pH 7.5) are dispensed into 1536 microtiter plates. Compounds are added to plate (final concentration TBD) and incubated for 30 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius. The assay is started by dispensing 2.5 microliter of2X DM2 substrate (20 uM in Assay Buffer) to all wells. Plates are centrifuged and after 3 hours of incubation at 25 degrees Celsius, fluorescence is measured (excitation = 359nm, emission = 460nm).

The % inhibition for each well was then calculated as follows:

%_Inhibition = ( RFU_Test_Compound - MedianRFU_Low_Control ) / ( MedianRFU_High_Control - MedianRFU_Low_Control ) * 100

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound.
High_Control is defined as wells treated with 1 micromolar Marimastat
Low_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO.


Interval Cutoff:
A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally inhibiting compounds in the primary screen. Four values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all high controls tested plus three times the standard deviation of the high controls, (2) the average percent inhibition of all low controls tested minus three times the standard deviation of the low controls, (3) the average percent inhibition of all compounds tested between (1) and (2), and (4) three times their standard deviation. The sum of two of these values, (3) and (4), was used as a cutoff parameter, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % inhibition/activity than the cutoff parameter was declared active.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

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

The activity score range for active compounds is 100-8, for inactive 8-0.

List of Reagents:

ADAM17 enzyme (R&D Systems, part # 930-ADB)
EDANS-DABCYL DM2 peptide substrate (Supplied by Assay Provider)
0.5M HEPES solution, pH7.5 (Teknova, part #101319-900)

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. In this case the results of each separate campaign were assigned "Active/Inactive" status based upon that campaign's specific compound activity cutoff value. 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, 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.

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: ABHD4_INH_FP_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this biochemical assay is to identify compounds that act as inhibitors of alpha/beta hydrolase domain containing 4 (ABHD4). In this assay, ABHD4 protein is incubated with test compounds and fluorophosphonate-rhodamine (FP-Rh) activity-based probe. The reaction is excited with linear polarized light and the intensity of the emitted light is measured as the polarization value (mP). As designed, test compounds that act as ABHD4 inhibitors will prevent ABHD4-probe interactions, thereby increasing the proportion of free (unbound) fluorescent probe in the well, leading to low fluorescence polarization. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a nominal test concentration of 8.92 micromolar.

Protocol Summary:

Prior to the start of the assay, 4 microliters of assay buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCl and 0.01% Pluronic F-127) were dispensed into column 2 only. Next, 4 microliters of assay buffer containing 46.9 ug/mL of ABHD4 mutant protein (S159A) were dispensed into columns 1 and 3 of 1536 microtiter plates and 4 microliters of assay buffer containing 46.9 ug/mL of ABHD4 wild type protein were dispensed into columns 4 thru 48. Then, 45 nL of test compound in DMSO or DMSO alone (0.89% final concentration) were added to the appropriate wells and incubated for 45 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius.

The assay was started by dispensing 1.0 microliter of 188 nM FP-Rh in assay buffer to all wells. Plates were centrifuged and after 60 minutes of incubation at 25 degrees Celsius, fluorescence polarization was read on a Viewlux microplate reader (PerkinElmer, Turku, Finland) using a BODIPY TMR FP filter set and a BODIPY dichroic mirror (excitation = 525nm, emission = 598nm) for 30 seconds for each polarization plane (parallel and perpendicular).

Prior to further calculations, the following formula was used to calculate fluorescence polarization (FP):

FP = ( Raw1 - Raw2 ) / ( Raw1 + Raw2 )

Where:

Raw1 is defined as the S channel.
Raw2 is defined as the P channel.

The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:

100 *( ( Test_Compound - Median_Low_Control ) / ( Median_High_Control - Median_Low_Control ) )

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing ABHD4 wild type protein in the presence of test compound and FP-Rh.
High_Control is defined as wells containing ABHD4 mutant protein, DMSO and FP-Rh.
Low_Control is defined as the median of the wells containing test compounds.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:


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

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

The activity score range for active compounds is 100-6, for inactive 6-0.

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, compounds that modulate well fluorescence.

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.

External ID: SIAE_INH_FP_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this biochemical assay is to identify compounds that act as inhibitors of sialic acid acetylesterase (SIAE). In this assay, SIAE protein is incubated with test compounds and fluorophosphonate-rhodamine (FP-Rh) activity-based probe. The reaction is excited with linear polarized light and the intensity of the emitted light is measured as the polarization value (mP). As designed, test compounds that act as SIAE inhibitors will prevent SIAE-probe interactions, thereby increasing the proportion of free (unbound) fluorescent probe in the well, leading to low fluorescence polarization. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a nominal test concentration of 9.66 micromolar.

Protocol Summary:

Prior to the start of the assay, 3 microliters of assay buffer (1X DPBS and 0.01% Pluronic F-127) were dispensed into column 1 thru column 3 of 1536 microtiter plates. Next, 3 microliters of assay buffer containing 0.73uM of SIAE protein were dispensed into columns 4 thru 48. Then, 39 nL of test compound in DMSO or DMSO alone (0.97% final concentration) were added to the appropriate wells and incubated for 45 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius.

The assay was started by dispensing 1.0 microliter of 300 nM FP-Rh in assay buffer to all wells. Plates were centrifuged and after 120 minutes of incubation at 25 degrees Celsius, fluorescence polarization was read on a Viewlux microplate reader (PerkinElmer, Turku, Finland) using a BODIPY TMR FP filter set and a BODIPY dichroic mirror (excitation = 525nm, emission = 598nm) for 25 seconds for each polarization plane (parallel and perpendicular).

Prior to further calculations, the following formula was used to calculate fluorescence polarization (FP):

FP = ( Raw1 - Raw2 ) / ( Raw1 + Raw2 )

Where:

Raw1 is defined as the S channel.
Raw2 is defined as the P channel.

The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:

100 *( ( Test_Compound - Median_Low_Control ) / ( Median_High_Control - Median_Low_Control ) )

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing SIAE protein in the presence of test compound and FP-Rh.
High_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO, FP-Rh but, no SIAE protein.
Low_Control is defined as the median of the wells containing test compounds.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally inhibiting compounds in the primary screen. Four values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all high controls tested plus three times the standard deviation of the high controls, (2) the average percent inhibition of all low controls tested minus three times the standard deviation of the low controls, (3) the average percent inhibition of all compounds tested between (1) and (2), and (4) three times their standard deviation. The sum of two of these values, (3) and (4), was used as a cutoff parameter, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % inhibition/activity than the cutoff parameter was declared active.

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

The activity score range for active compounds is 100-2, for inactive 2-0.

Comment: Compounds that demonstrated an activation of >= 50% at 10uM 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.

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 screening data. The score is correlated with % activity in the assay:
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
Scoring for Single concentration confirmation screening is not applicable to this assay.
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: UHRF1-CPGDNA_INH_TRFRET_1536_1X%INH CSRUN for MBD2-CPGDNA INH

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to determine whether compounds identified as inhibitors of MBD2 are nonselective, as determined by inhibition of methylated DNA-binding activity of the SRA domain polypeptide of ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 1 (UHRF1). The UHRF1 gene encodes a member of a subfamily of RING-finger type E3 ubiquitin ligases. It contains a Set-and RING Associated (SRA) domain that binds to partially methylated DNA sequences during DNA synthesis. UHRF1 exhibits a different mode of DNA binding than MBD2, binding so-called hemi-methylated cytosines in order to promote their fully methylation. This assay is performed in a similar manner as the MBD2 screen, except that it employs recombinant UHRF1 SRA domain protein (UHRF1_SRA) and hemi-methylated DNA as its substrate. This assay monitors the ability of compounds to inhibit binding of cloned recombinant UHRF1_SRA to a FAM-labeled 14 bp hairpin oligonucleotide containing a hemimethylated CpG. In this biochemical assay, test compounds are incubated with UHRF1_SRA and a 5-carboxyfluorescene (FAM)-labeled 14bp hairpin DNA oligonucleotide containing one hemimethylated CpG dinucleotide in the presence of Tb-labeled anti-His antibody. An inhibitor of the UHRF1_SRA:FAM hemimethylated CpG interaction will inhibit binding between UHRF1 and FAM hemimethylated oligo, leading to reduced energy transfer and reduced well FRET (fluorescein emission / Tb emission). Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 4.4 micromolar.

Protocol Summary:

The assay was started by dispensing 5 microliters of Control Mix in assay buffer (4% glycerol, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM DTT, 125 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), and 0.2% Tween-20) containing 125 nanomolar of UHRF1 protein, 5 micromolar of FAM labeled methylated CpG DNA oligo and 5 nanomolar of Terbium labeled anti-his antibody into columns 1 thru columns 2 of 1536 microtiter plates. Next, 5 microliters of Experimental Mix containing 125 nanomolar of UHRF1 protein, 100 nanomolar FAM labeled Hemimethylated CpG DNA oligo and 5 nanomolar Terbium labeled anti-his antibody in assay buffer were dispensed into columns 3 thru 48. Then, the plates were centrifuged and pinned with 22 nL of test compound in DMSO, Mitoxantrone (1.3 micromolar final concentration) in DMSO or DMSO alone (0.44% final concentration). The plates were incubated for 60 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius and TR-FRET was measured on a Viewlux microplate reader (Perkin Elmer, Turku, Finland). After excitation at 340 nm, well fluorescence was monitored at 495 nm (Tb) and 525 nm (FAM). For each well, a fluorescence ratio was calculated according to the following mathematical expression:
Ratio = I525nm / I495nm

Where:

I525nm represents the measured fluorescence emission at 525 nm.
I495nm represents the measured fluorescence emission at 495 nm.

The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated using as follows:

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

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing the Experimental Mix in the presence of test compound.
High_Control is defined as wells containing the Experimental Mix, Mitoxantrone and DMSO.
Low_Control is defined as the median of the wells containing test compounds.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

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

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

The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-19, and for inactive compounds 19-0.

External ID: GDH-TPI_INH_ABS_1536_1X%INH CSRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this biochemical counterscreen is to determine whether compounds act as absorbance assay artifacts or are non-selective. This assay also serves as a counterscreen for a set of ongoing high throughput primary experiments entitled, "Absorbance-based biochemical primary high throughput screening assay to identify inhibitors of the aldolase of M. tuberculosis."

This counterscreen is similar in format to the aforementioned assay with the only two following differences: (i) the fructose-1,6-bisphosphate substrate is replaced with glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate, a product of its conversion by FBA and (ii) no (FBA) is used. The counterscreen hence recapitulates the two steps involved in the monitoring of FBA activity through the conversion of FB into the triose product glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate (G3P), which would be converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) by the helper enzyme triose phosphate isomerase (TPI). A second helper enzyme, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GDH), converts the dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glycerol-3-phosphate with the concomitant oxidation of NADH to NAD, which is monitored by measuring the absorbance at 340 nm. In this new assay format, the A340 is independent of FBA activity, hence compounds that reduce absorbance at 340 nm are either absorbance artifacts or helper enzyme inhibitors that will not be pursued. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 4.78 uM.

Protocol Summary:

Prior to the start of the assay, 5 uL /well of Buffer A (50 mM HEPES, 0.01% Triton X-100, 10% Glycerol, pH8.0) supplemented with 400 nM ZnCl2,240 uM NADH and the helper enzymes GDH-TPI (4 U/mL) was dispensed into all wells of a 1536-well plate except the "No enzyme" wells that contained the same supplemented buffer but no GDH-TPI enzymes. Next, 48 nL of test compounds were then delivered in each well using a PinTool. The assay was then initiated by dispensing 5 uL of Buffer A supplemented with 240 uM of the substrate glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). Plates were incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes before A340 was measured using the EnVision plate reader (Perkin Elmer).

The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:

%Inhibition = 100 * ( ( Test_Compound - Median_Low_Control ) / ( Median_High_Control - Median_Low_Control ) )

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells treated with test compounds.
Low_Control is defined as wells treated with DMSO.
High_Control is defined as wells with no GDH-TPI enzyme.

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 the cutoff parameter was declared active.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

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 100-13, and for inactive compounds 13-0.

List of Reagents:

ZnCl2 (Fisher Scientific, part Z33-500)
NADH (EMD Biosciences, part 481913)
GDH-TPI (Sigma, part G1881)

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. In this case the results of each separate campaign were assigned "Active/Inactive" status based upon that campaign's specific compound activity cutoff value. 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 quench or emit absorbance within the well. All test compound concentrations reported are nominal; the specific concentration for a particular test compound may vary based upon the actual sample provided by the MLSMR

CELL DISRUPTION:

Suspend the cells from 50 ml of E. coli [Rosetta 2 (DE3)/pET45Dmel710#2] in 3 ml of Buffer A +
1 mM PMSF and disrupt by passing twice through the small French pressure cell. Centrifuge in 12 ml Sorvall tubes at 12,000 rpm for 30 min. and collect the pellet (inclusion bodies). The pellet is washed twice by resuspending in 4 ml of Buffer A + 1 mM PMSF and centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 20 min. The pellet is then then resuspended in 3 ml of Buffer B + 1 mM PMSF to extract the inclusion bodies and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 20 min. Save the supernatant and extract the pellet a second time with 3 ml of Buffer B + 1 mM PMSF and combine the supernatants. Centrifuge the combined supernatants in the Sorvall at 18,000 rpm for 60 min to remove insoluble material and yield the solubilized inclusion bodies (IB). Save inclusion bodies at 4 degrees C after diluting about 10% with Buffer A to avoid crystallization of urea.

Typically, the protein concentration of the inclusion bodies is 1 mg/ml. The material is stable on storage at 4 degrees C for at least a month and can be kept frozen at -80 degrees C in 1 ml portions indefinitely.

nm.

Comment: PRESENCE OF CONTROLS: Neutral control wells (NC) and positive control wells (PC) were included on every plate.

EXPECTED OUTCOME: Active compounds result in increasing readout signal.

NORMALIZATION:
The raw signals of the plate wells were normalized using the 'Neutral Controls Minus Inhibitors' method in Genedata Assay Analyzer (v7.0.3):
The median raw signal of the intraplate neutral control wells was set to a normalized activity value of 0.
The median raw signal of the intraplate positive control wells was set to a normalized activity value of -100.
Experimental wells values were scaled to this range.

PATTERN CORRECTION: No plate pattern correction algorithm from Genedata Condoseo (v.7.0.3) was applied.

PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE:
This was set as equal to the mean of the normalized sample replicate activities, rounded to the nearest integer .
The minimum PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE required for a compound to be called a hit (the activity threshold, or AT) was set to be three standard deviations above the mean neutral control value.

PERCENTAGE OF ACTIVE REPLICATES:
For each sample, the percentage of replicates (PCT_ACTIVE_REP) which had activity scores >= AT was determined.
The minimum percentage of replicates required for a compound to be called a hit (PAR_T) was set at -50.

PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME:
Samples passing BOTH threshold criteria were assigned an outcome of 2 (active):
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE >= AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP >= PAR_T

Samples passing NEITHER threshold criteria were assigned an outcome of 1 (inactive):
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE < AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP < PAR_T

Samples passing AT only were assigned an outcome of 2 (active) :
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE >= AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP < PAR_T

tSamples passing PAR_T only were assigned an outcome of 2 (active) :
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE < AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP >= PAR_T

External ID: HGDAF12_AG_LUMI_1536_1X%ACT PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that act as agonists of the nuclear receptor daf-12. In this assay, CV-1cells are co-transfected with a GAL4-responsive reporter plasmid (UAS-tk-luc) and expression vector encoding GAL4-hgDAF12. The ability of compounds to increase transcriptional activity is assessed by measuring luciferase expression from the reporter gene plasmid. Compounds were tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 6.8 micromolar.

Protocol Summary:

HEK293 cells were routinely cultured in T-175 flasks containing 25 mL of DMEM media supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum and 1% v/v antibiotic-antimycotic mix at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% relative humidity (RH). The day prior to run the assay, the HEK293 cells were harvested using 5 mL of TrypLE reagents and seeded in fresh media at a density of 10 million cells per T175 flask. The following day, cells were transfected with 1 mL of serum-free OptiMEM containing 8 ug of the hgDAF12-expressing vector, 20 ug of the MH1000-tk-luc reporter plasmid and 80 uL of transfection reagent. Twenty four hours post transfection, cells were harvested using 5 mL of preheated TrypLE and resuspended at a concentration of 1 million cells per mL in phenol-red free DMEM supplemented as above. Sodium butyrate, a compound shown to increase the luminscent signal in this assay, was used as a positive control.

The assay was started by dispensing 5 uL of cell suspension into each well of white, solid-bottom 1536-well plates using a flying reagent dispenser (Aurora) and placed in the incubator for 3 hours. Cells were then treated with 34 nL/well of either test compounds, DMSO (Low Control, final concentration 0.68%) or 2 mM of Sodium Butyrate (High Control). Plates were incubated for 24 hours at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95%RH and then removed from the incubator and equilibrated to room temperature for 10 minutes. Luciferase activity was detected by addition of 5 uL of One-Glo reagent to each well. After a 15 minute incubation time, light emission was measured with the ViewLux reader (PerkinElmer).

The percent activation of each test compound was calculated as follows:

%_Activation = 100 * ( ( Test_Compound - Median_Low_Control ) / ( Median_High_Control - Median__Low_Control ) )

Where:

High_Control is defined as wells treated with 2 mM Sodium Butyrate
Low_Control is defined as wells treated with DMSO only.
Test_Compound is defined as wells treated with test compound.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally inhibiting compounds in the primary screen. Two values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all compounds tested, and (2) three times their standard deviation. The sum of these two values was used as a cutoff parameter, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % inhibition than the 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 100-12, and for inactive compounds 12-0.

External ID: TPD2_INH_EPIABS_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that act as inhibitors of the activity of tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2). TDP2 is a divalent cation-dependent enzyme that repairs TopII-associated DNA strand breaks. It is hypothesized that inhibitors of TDP2 may serve as useful adjuvants in combination with cancer drugs such as etoposide.

In this biochemical assay, recombinant human TDP2 protein is incubated at 37 degrees Celsius with the T5PNP substrate in the presence of Mg2+-containing assay buffer.T5PNP is a substrate for snake venom phosphodiesterase, as well as a substrate for TDP2. As a substrate for TDP2, T5PNP is used to mimic the TopII-DNA complex. TDP2 cleaves the phosphodiester bond in T5PNP, and the chromogenic p-nitrophenol group is released. As time increases the TDP2 enzyme will increasingly catalyze hydrolysis of the T5PNP substrate, resulting in increased release of p-nitrophenol and detection at 415nM wavelength. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 12.8microM.

Protocol Summary:

Prior to the start of the assay, 2 ul of a solution containing T5PNP subtrate (final concentration 5mM) in assay buffer (50mM Tris-HCl pH7.5, 1mM DTT, 1mM MgCl2, 50mM KCl and 100ug/ml BSA) was dispended into a all wells of a 1536 well plate. Next, 39nL of test compound in DMSO or DMSO alone (1% final concentration) was added to the appropriate wells. The assay was started by dispensing 1 ul of a solution contanting TDP2 enzyme (120nM final concentration) in assay buffer to wells in columns 4-48 and 1ul of assay buffer alone to wells in columnes 1-3. Plates were centrifuged and incubated for 2hrs at 37 degrees Celsius at which time fluorescence intensity was measured (Ex. 405nm and Em. 405nm) using a EnVision microplate reader (Perkin Elmer).

Prior to further calculations, the following formula was used to calculate Epi Absorbance (EPIABS)

EPIABS = -log10( sample / background)

Where:

Sample is defined as the fluorescent intensity of wells containing test compounds or DMSO.
Background is defined as the fluorescent intensity of wells containing buffer and T5PNP only.

The % inhibition for each well was then calculated as follows:

%_Inhibition = ( EPIABS_Test_Compound - MedianEPIABS_Low_Control ) / ( MedianEPIABS_High_Control - MedianEPIABS_Low_Control ) * 100

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound, TDP2 and T5PNP.
High_Control is defined as wells containing only Buffer and T5PNP.
Low_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO, TDP2 and T5PNP.

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

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

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

The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-22, and for inactive compounds 22-0.

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, compounds that modulate well fluorescence.

External ID: PLCG1_INH_QFRET_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this biochemical assay is to identify compounds that act as inhibitors of the activity of phospholipase C isozymes, PLC-G1. In this assay, PLC-G1 isozyme is incubated with test compounds and fluorogenic reporter WH-15. As designed, test compounds that act as PLC-G1 inhibitors will prevent the hydrolysis of WH-15 fluorogenic reporter, thus preventing the release of IP3, a quinomethide derivative, and 6-aminoquinoline, which is highly fluorescent, leading to decreasing well fluorescence. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a nominal test concentration of 12.2 micromolar.

Protocol Summary:

Prior to the start of the assay, 2 microliters of PLC-G1 at a final concentration of 5pg/ul (in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.2, 70 mM KCl, 3mM CaCL2, 3mM EGTA, 2mM DTT, 0.04mg/mL acid-free BSA, with Cholate 0.5%) are dispensed into 1536 microtiter plates, 1 microliter of assay buffer is dispensed into columns 4-48 and 1 microliter of 0.2M EGTA is added to columns 1-3. Compounds are added to plate (final concentration 12.2uM) and incubated for 10 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius. The assay start by the addition of 2 microliter of WH-15 fluorogenic reporter at a final concentration 10uM in Assay Buffer to all wells. Plates were centrifuged and after 90 min of incubation at 25 degrees Celsius fluorescence is measured at 355nm excitation and 535nm emmision.

The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:

100 *( ( Test_Compound - Median_Low_Control ) / ( Median_High_Control - Median_Low_Control ) )

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing PLCG1 in the presence of test compound and WH15 fluoreogenic reporter.
High_Control is defined as wells containing PLCG1, WH15 fluoreogenic reporter and EGTA.
Low_Control is defined as the median of the wells containing test compounds.

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally inhibiting compounds in the primary screen. Four values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all high controls tested plus three times the standard deviation of the high controls, (2) the average percent inhibition of all low controls tested minus three times the standard deviation of the low controls, (3) the average percent inhibition of all compounds tested between (1) and (2), and (4) three times their standard deviation. The sum of two of these values, (3) and (4), was used as a cutoff parameter, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % inhibition/activity than the cutoff parameter was declared active.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

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

The activity score range for active compounds is 100-11, for inactive 11-0.

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.

External ID: ALD_INH_FLINT_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that act as inhibitors of fructose bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) of M. tuberculosis, as monitored by loss (oxidation) of NADH in an enzymatic reaction. Fructose bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) catalyzes the conversion of fructose bisphosphate (FB) into the triose product glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate (G3P) in a reversible fashion. The G3P is converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) by the helper enzyme triose phosphate isomerase (TPI). A second helper enzyme, glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (GDH), converts the dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glycerol-3-phosphate with the concomitant oxidation of NADH to NAD, and thus the FBA activity is monitored by the reduction of well fluorescence as measured at 450 nm upon excitation at 340 nm. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 1 uM.

Protocol Summary:

Prior to the start of the assay, 5 uL /well of Buffer A (50 mM HEPES, 0.01% Triton X-100, 10% Glycerol, pH8.0) supplemented with 140 ng/mL FBA, 400 nM ZnCl2, 160 uM NADH and the helper enzymes GDH-TPI (4 U/mL) was dispensed into all wells of a 1536-well plate. Next, 10 nL of test compounds were delivered to each well using a PinTool. DMSO only was dispensed to negative control wells whereas a final concentration of 75 nM of reference compound TD3 was dispensed as a positive control. The assay was then initiated by dispensing 5 uL of Buffer A supplemented with 40 uM of FBP substrate. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes before fluorescence was measured (Ex. 340 nm; Em. 450 nm) using the ViewLux plate reader (Perkin Elmer).

The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:

%_Inhibition = 100 * ( ( Test_Compound - Median_Low_Control ) / ( Median_High_Control - Median_Low_Control ) )

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 Compound TD3 (75 nM final)

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

Two values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all test compounds and (2) three times their standard deviation. The sum of these two values was used as a cutoff parameter. Any compound that exhibited a greater % inhibition than this cutoff parameter was declared active.

Potential fluorescent compounds that showed a percent inhibition value significantly higher than the one calculated for the High_Control (i.e. greater than the average % inhibition +/- 3 S.D. of the High_Control wells) were removed from the hit-cutoff calculation.

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 100-1, and for inactive compounds 1-0.

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.

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 screening data. The score is correlated with % activity in the assay:
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
Scoring for Single concentration confirmation screening is not applicable to this assay.
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: SRC3_INH_LUMI_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that act as inhibitors of the steroid receptor coactivator 1 (SRC3), also known as nuclear receptor coactivator 3 (NCOA3). In this assay, HEK293 cells are transfected with a GAL4-responsive reporter plasmid (pGL4.31, Promega) and an expression vector encoding SRC-3 fused to the DNA-binding domain of GAL4(pBIND-SRC-3). The ability of compounds to reduce coactivator transcriptional activity is assessed by measuring luciferase expression from the reporter gene plasmid. As designed, compounds that inhibit SRC3 ability to induce transcription will lead to a decrease in expression of the luciferase gene, resulting in reduced well luminescence. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 3.6 uM.

Protocol Summary:

Seven million HEK293 cells were seeded into T-175 flasks containing 23 mLs of DMEM media supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum and 1% v/v Anti-Anti. Flasks were then incubated for 48 hours at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% relative humidity (RH). The day prior to the assay, cells were harvested using TrypLE, resuspended in fresh media at a density of 1 million cells per mL and seeded into new T-175 flasks (23 mL per flask). After allowed to attach for one hour at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% RH, cells were transfected with 1 mL of preincubated mix of serum-free OptiMEM containing 23 ug of the pGL4.31 reporter plasmid, 2.3 ug of pBIND-SRC3 vector, and 80 uL of transfection reagents. Twenty four hours post transfection, cells were harvested using 5 mL of TrypLE and resuspended at a concentration of 750,000 cells per mL in phenol-red free DMEM media supplemented as described above.

The assay was started by dispensing 5 uL of cell suspension into each well of a white, solid-bottom 1536-well plate using a flying reagent dispenser (3,750 cells per well). The first two columns received cells transfected with reporter plasmid and an empty pBIND vector as a control for background luminescence. Cells were then treated with 18 nL/well of test compounds, DMSO as a negative control (final concentration 0.36%), or Gossypol as a positive control (36 uM final) using a PinTool transfer unit (GNF). Plates were then placed in the incubator at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% RH. Twenty four hours later, plates were removed from the incubator and equilibrated to room temperature for 10 minutes. Luciferase activity was detected by adding 5 uL per well of ONE-Glo luciferase detection reagent. After a 15 minute incubation time, light emission was measured using the ViewLux plate reader (PerkinElmer).

The percent inhibition of each test compound was calculated as follows:

%_Inhibition = ( 1 - ( median_positive_control - test_compound ) / ( median_positive_control - median_negative_control ) * 100

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound treated cells.
Positive_Control is defined as wells containing Gossypol treated cells.
Negative_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO treated cells.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally active compounds. Two values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all compounds tested, and (2) three times their standard deviation. The sum of these two values was used as a cutoff parameter, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater %inhibition than the cutoff parameter was declared active.

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

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. In this case the results of each separate campaign were assigned "Active/Inactive" status based upon that campaign's specific compound activity cutoff value. 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, cytotoxic compounds, compounds that perturb the UAS/GAL4 reporter system, and compounds that quench, inhibit, stabilize, or emit luminescence within the well. All test compound concentrations reported are nominal; the specific concentration for a particular test compound may vary based upon the actual sample provided by the MLSMR.

External ID: SRC1_INH_LUMI_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that act as inhibitors of the steroid receptor coactivator 1 (SRC1), also known as nuclear receptor coactivator 3 (NCOA1). In this assay, HEK293 cells are transfected with a GAL4-responsive reporter plasmid (pGL4.31, Promega) and an expression vector encoding SRC1 fused to the DNA-binding domain of GAL4 (pBIND-SRC-1). The ability of compounds to reduce coactivator transcriptional activity is assessed by measuring luciferase expression from the reporter gene plasmid. As designed, compounds that inhibit SRC1 ability to induce transcription will lead to a decrease in expression of the luciferase gene, resulting in reduced well luminescence. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 3.6 uM.

Protocol Summary:

Seven million HEK293 cells were seeded in T-175 flasks 23 mL of DMEM media supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum and 1% v/v Anti-Anti. Flasks were then incubated for 48 hours at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% relative humidity (RH). The day prior to run the assay, cells were harvested using TrypLE, resuspended in fresh media at a density of 1 million cells per mL and seeded into new T-175 flasks (23 mL per flask). After being allowed to attach for one hour at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% RH, cells were transfected with 1 mL of preincubated mix of serum-free OptiMEM containing 23 ug of pGL4.31 reporter plasmid, 2.3 ug of pBIND-SRC1 vector and 80 uL of transfection reagents. Twenty four hours post transfection, cells were harvested using 5 mL of TrypLE and resuspended at a concentration of 750,000 cells per mL in phenol-red free DMEM media supplemented as described above.

The assay was started by dispensing 5 uL of cell suspension into each well of a white, solid-bottom 1536-well plate using a flying reagent dispenser (i.e. 3,750 cells per well). The first two columns received cells transfected with the reporter plasmid and an empty pBIND vector as a control for background luminescence. Cells were then treated with 18 nL/well of test compounds, DMSO as a negative control (final concentration 0.36%) or Gossypol as a positive control (36 uM final) using a PinTool transfer unit (GNF). Plates were then placed in the incubator at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% RH. Twenty four hours later, plates were removed from the incubator and equilibrated to room temperature for 10 minutes. Luciferase was detected by adding 5 uL per well of ONE-Glo luciferase detection reagent. After a 15 minutes incubation time, light emission was measured with the ViewLux reader (PerkinElmer).

The percent inhibition of each test compound was calculated as follow:

%_Inhibition = ( 1 - ( median_positive_control - test_compound ) / ( median_positive_control - median_negative_control ) * 100

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound treated cells.
Positive_Control is defined as wells containing Gossypol treated cells.
Negative_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO treated cells.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally active compounds. Two values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all compounds tested, and (2) three times their standard deviation. The sum of these two values was used as a cutoff parameter, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % inhibition than the cutoff parameter was declared active.

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

The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-63, and for inactive compounds 63-0.

External ID: PLCB3_INH_QFRET_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this biochemical assay is to identify compounds that act as inhibitors of the activity of phospholipase C isozymes, PLC-B3. In this assay, PLC-B3 isozyme is incubated with test compounds and fluorogenic reporter WH-15. As designed, test compounds that act as PLC-B3 inhibitors will prevent the hydrolysis of WH-15 fluorogenic reporter, thus preventing the release of IP3, a quinomethide derivative, and 6-aminoquinoline, which is highly fluorescent, leading to decreasing well fluorescence. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a nominal test concentration of 12.2 micromolar.

Protocol Summary:

Prior to the start of the assay, 2 microliters of PLC-B3 at a final concentration of 0.4ng/ul (in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.2, 70 mM KCl, 3mM CaCL2, 3mM EGTA, 2mM DTT, 0.04mg/mL acid-free BSA, with Cholate 0.5%) are dispensed into 1536 microtiter plates, 1 microliter of assay buffer is dispensed into columns 4-48 and 1 microliter of 0.2M EGTA is added to columns 1-3. Compounds are added to plate (final concentration 12.2uM) and incubated for 10 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius. The assay start by the addition of 2 microliter of WH-15 fluorogenic reporter at a final concentration 10uM in Assay Buffer to all wells. Plates were centrifuged and after 90 min of incubation at 25 degrees Celsius fluorescence is measured at 355nm excitation and 535nm emmision.

The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:

100 *( ( Test_Compound - Median_Low_Control) / ( Median_High_Control - Median_Low_Control) )

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing PLCB3 in the presence of test compound and WH15 fluoreogenic reporter.
High_Control is defined as wells containing PLCB3, WH15 fluoreogenic reporter and EGTA.
Low_Control is defined as the median of the wells containing test compounds.

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally inhibiting compounds in the primary screen. Four values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all high controls tested plus three times the standard deviation of the high controls, (2) the average percent inhibition of all low controls tested minus three times the standard deviation of the low controls, (3) the average percent inhibition of all compounds tested between (1) and (2), and (4) three times their standard deviation. The sum of two of these values, (3) and (4), was used as a cutoff parameter, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % inhibition/activity than the cutoff parameter was declared active.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

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

The activity score range for active compounds is 100-13, for inactive 13-0.

External ID: ADAM10_INH_QFRET_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that inhibit ADAM10. This assay employs a fluorophore and quencher pair. F =EDANS fluorophore, Q = DABCYL quencher. When intact, EDANS emission at 460nm is quenched by DABCYL via fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Upon cleavage of the scissile bond (A~V) by ADAM protease, the distance between fluorophore and quencher increases resulting in fluorescence increase at 460nm. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a nominal final nominal concentration of 6.95 micromolar.

Protocol Summary:

Prior to the start of the assay, 2.5 microliters 2X ADAM10 enzyme (20 nM in Assay Buffer: 50 mM HEPES, 0.01% Brij, pH 7.5) are dispensed into 1536 microtiter plates. Compounds are added to plate (final concentration TBD) and incubated for 30 minutes at 25 degrees Celsius. The assay is started by dispensing 2.5 microliter of2X DM2 substrate (20 uM in Assay Buffer) to all wells. Plates are centrifuged and after 3 hours of incubation at 25 degrees Celsius, fluorescence is measured (excitation = 359nm, emission = 460nm).

The % inhibition for each well was then calculated as follows:

%_Inhibition = ( RFU_Test_Compound - MedianRFU_Low_Control ) / ( MedianRFU_High_Control - MedianRFU_Low_Control ) * 100

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound.
High_Control is defined as wells treated with 1 micromolar Marimastat
Low_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO.

Interval Cutoff:

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally inhibiting compounds in the primary screen. Four values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all high controls tested plus three times the standard deviation of the high controls, (2) the average percent inhibition of all low controls tested minus three times the standard deviation of the low controls, (3) the average percent inhibition of all compounds tested between (1) and (2), and (4) three times their standard deviation. The sum of two of these values, (3) and (4), was used as a cutoff parameter, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % inhibition/activity than the cutoff parameter was declared active.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

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

The activity score range for active compounds is 100-19, for inactive 19-0.

External ID: COUPTFII_INH_LUMI_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this cell-based assay is to identify compounds that can inhibit COUP-TFII transcriptional activity. The expression vectors for COUP-TFII (pcDNA6.2-COUP-TFII) and the luciferase reporter NGFIA-Luc (pXP2-168) are transiently cotransfected into HEK-293T cells.

COUP-TFII has been shown to efficiently activate NGFI-A-Luc expression (17) and the readout can be measured by a luminometer. Small molecules that inhibit COUP-TFII transcriptional activity will decrease the promoter activity that can be detected by luciferase assay. As designed, compounds that inhibit COUP-TFII activity will decrease luciferase activity, resulting in decreased well luminescence.

Protocol Summary:

HEK293 cells were routinely cultured in T-175 flasks containing 25 mL of DMEM media supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum and 1% v/v antibiotic-antimycotic mix at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% relative humidity (RH). The day prior to run the assay, the HEK293 cells were harvested using 5 mL of TrypLE reagents and seeded in fresh media at a density of 10 million cells per T175 flask. The following day, cells were transfected with 1 mL of serum-free OptiMEM containing 12 ug of the plasmid encoding for COUP-TF2, 8 ug of the pX2-168 luciferase reporter plasmid, and 60 uL of X-tremeGene 9 transfection reagent. Twenty four hours post transfection, cells were harvested using 5 mL of preheated TrypLE and resuspended at a concentration of 800,000 cells per mL in phenol-red free DMEM supplemented as above. In the absence of a pharmacological positive control, COUP-TF2 inhibition was mimicked by transfecting cells in absence of the COUP-TF2 expressing vector (i.e. reporter plasmid only).

The assay was started by dispensing 5 uL of cell suspension into each well of white, sterile, solid-bottom 1536-well plates. The first three columns received control cells (no COUP-TF2 expressed) whereas the rest of the plate was dispensed with COUP-TF2-transfected cells. After addition of cells the plates were spun down. The plates were incubated for 4 hours and then treated with 43 nL/well of test compounds or DMSO (final concentration 0.65%) on COUP-TF2 cells and Control cells. Plates were incubated for eighteen hours at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% RH. Plates were then removed from the incubator and equilibrated to room temperature for 10 minutes. Luciferase activity was detected by addition of 5 uL of One-Glo reagent to each well. After a 10 minute incubation time, light emission was measured with the ViewLux reader (PerkinElmer).

The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:

%_Inhibition = ( ( Test_Compound - Median_Sample_Field ) / ( Median_High_Control - Median_Sample_Field ) ) * 100

Where:

High_Control is defined as wells containing cells transfected with reporter plamid only (pX2-168)
Test_Compound is defined as well containing cells cotransfected with pcDNA6.2-COUP-TFII and pX2-168 in the presence of test compounds
Sample_Field is defined as wells containing cells cotransfected with pcDNA6.2-COUP-TFII and pX2-168 in the presence of test compounds

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 that are within the High and Low Controls (i.e. higher than the average plues three standard deveiations of the Low Control wells and lower than the average minus three stardard deviation of the High Control 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 primary inhibition. Negative % inhibition values are reported as activity score zero.

The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-34, and for inactive compounds 34-0.

External ID: UNMCMD_Botulinum_LightChainF_Protease_HTS_MLPCN

Protocol: This assay will be used to identify small molecule inhibitors of Botulinum toxin type A and F light chain proteases (BoNTALC and BoNTFLC) and inhibitors of Bacillus anthracis Lethal Factor protease (LF) in a multiplex format. Proteases that are not inhibited will cleave their substrates and produce a loss of signal effect. If the proteases are inhibited by a small molecule cleavage will not occur, thus the signal should stay the same. Full length protease substrates are used in order to detect inhibitors that act at either the protease catalytic site or at sites of protease interaction with substrate distal to the cleavage site.

Protease inhibition assays were performed as previously described (5), but with modifications. Biotinylated GFP protease substrates for LF, BoNTALC, BoNTFLC, and a protease-resistant substrate (pinpointGFP) were prepared and loaded on color-coded streptavidin microspheres (Spherotech Blue Array Particle kit, 5.1 microm diameter) as previously described (5-7). Additions to wells were in sequence as follows: 1st, 4 microL protease buffer (50 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin, 0.025% Tween-20, pH 7.4); 2nd, 2 microL of a mixture of 1.5 microM LF, 5 nM BoNTALC and 375 nM BoNTFLC in protease buffer; 3rd, 100 nL of test compounds (1 mM in DMSO); and 4th, 4 microL containing 2x10;5/ml of each set of microspheres. Plates were sealed and incubated at 24 degreesC overnight (16-18 h), rotating continuously from inverted to upright position until analyzed in 1536 well plate format with the HyperCyt Cluster Cytometer platform the following day.

The assay response range was defined by replicate control wells containing protease buffer alone (PCntrl, positive control) or the protease mixture alone (NCntrl, negative control). Additional positive controls included Ebselen, VAMP peptide and IN-2-LF (selective inhibitors of BoNTALC, BoNTFLC and LF, respectively), which were added separately and together as a mixture to validate protease inhibition. In each well the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) was determined for each set of substrate-bearing microspheres. A fifth streptavidin microsphere set included in each well had no GFP moiety attached and was used to quantify the contribution of innate test compound fluorescence to the assay readout. All MFI values for substrate-bearing microspheres were corrected by subtraction of the MFI value for the substrate-free microspheres in the same well.

Test compound inhibition of substrate cleavage by protease was then calculated as 100 x (MFI:Test - Mean MFI:NCntrl)/(Mean MFI:PCntrl - Mean MFI:NCntrl) in which MFI:Test represents corrected MFI in the
presence of test compound, and Mean MFI:PCntrl and MFI:NCntrl represent means for replicate MFI determinations in control wells.

PubChem Score equals percent inhibition.

In this assay, the antibodies are directed against distinct, non-overlapping PrPc epitopes. Antibody occupancy of both epitopes of a PrPc molecule results in FRET signal emission. Free antibody or single antibody occupancy is not detected. The assay employs long half-life lanthanide donors (Europium or Terbium cryptate) and acceptor fluorophores XL665 or d2: SAF32 (aa53-93) and D18 (aa133-157) labeled with the donor and acceptor fluorophores, respectively. Ratios of 665 nm to 620 nm measurements are calculated, to take into account non-specific absorption of 620 nm light by the assay matrix. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 13.8 microM.

Protocol Summary:

The LD9 cell line (subclone of L929, which is a mouse fibroblast cell line) was routinely cultured in T-175 sq cm flasks at 37 C and 95% relative humidity (RH). The growth media consisted of Opti-MEM I Reduced Serum Medium (no phenol red) supplemented with 5% v/v Bovine Growth Serum Supplemented Calf and 1X Penicillin-Streptomycin.

The day before the assay, 3 uL of cell growth media was dispensed into the first two columns of 1536 well microtiter plates and 1500 cells in 3 uL of cell growth media were seeded into the remaining wells. Next, 42 nL of test compound in DMSO, Brefeldin A (58 uM final concentration) in DMSO, or DMSO alone (1.38% final concentration) were dispensed to the appropriate wells. The plates were then incubated for 21 hours at 37 C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH.

The assay was started by adding 1 uL of SAF32-Tb at a final concentration of 0.072ug/mL and 1ul of D18-d2 at a final concentration of 0.66ug/mL to all wells, respectively. Labeled Antibodies were prepared in 1X PBS. Plates were centrifuged and after 3 hours of incubation at room temperature, well TRFRET was read on a ViewLux microplate reader (Perkin Elmer, Turku, Finland). Measurements were performed by exciting the plates at 340 nM, and monitoring well fluorescence at 618 nm (Tb) and 671 nm (d2) with the ViewLux microplate reader.

To normalize data, values measured from both fluorescence emission wavelengths were used to calculate a ratio for each well, according to the following mathematical expression:

Ratio = I671nm / I618nm

Where:

I represents the measured fluorescence emission intensity at the enumerated wavelength in nm.

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

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

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing cells, test compounds and DMSO.
High_Control is defined as wells containing cells, Brefeldin A and DMSO.
Low_Control is defined as the median of the wells containing test compounds.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

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

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

The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-18, and for inactive compounds 18-0.

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.
