Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that activate heterodimer formation between the mu (OPRM1) and delta (OPRD1) opioid receptors, resulting in membrane recruitment of beta-arrestin. The assay monitors GPCR-beta-arrestin proximity using low affinity fragment complementation of beta-galactosidase (beta-gal). This assay employs U2OS cells which express OPRD1, OPRM1 fused to a beta-gal peptide fragment (enzyme donor), and beta-arrestin fused to the complementary beta-gal fragment (enzyme acceptor). Cells are incubated with test compound, followed by measurement of well luminescence. As designed, compounds that induce formation of OPRD1 homodimers or OPRM1-OPRD1 (Mu-Delta) heterodimers will cause beta-arrestin recruitment, resulting in reconstitution of the beta-gal holoenzyme. The reconstituted holoenzyme can then catalyze the hydrolysis of a substrate which yields a chemiluminescent signal, resulting in increased well luminescence. Deltorphin B will be used as the high (100% RLU) control for agonists, and wells containing cells treated with DMSO will be used as the low (0% RLU) control. Compounds were tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 9.3 uM.

Protocol Summary:

The U2OS-OPRM1-OPRD1 (Mu-Delta) cell line was routinely cultured in T-175 sq cm flasks at 37 C and 95% relative humidity (RH). The growth media consisted of a 1:1 mixture of Ham's F-12 Nutrient Media (F-12) and Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Media (DMEM) supplemented with 10% v/v heat-inactivated certified fetal bovine serum, 25 mM HEPES, 250 ug/mL Geneticin, 250 ug/mL Hygromycin B, 0.25 ug/mL Puromycin and 1X antibiotic mix (penicillin, streptomycin, and neomycin).

The day before the assay 1000 cells in 3 uL of cell plating media were seeded into each well of 1536 well microtiter plates and allowed to incubate at 37 C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH for 23 hours. Next, 28 nL of test compound in DMSO, Deltorphin B (0.9 uM final concentration) in DMSO, or DMSO alone were dispensed to the appropriate wells. The plates were then incubated for 3 hours at 37 C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH. The assay was started by adding 2 uL of PathHuntertrade mark reagent (prepared according to the manufacturer's protocol); followed by 1 hour incubation at room temperature. Then, Well Luminescence was read on the ViewLux plate reader

The percent activation for each compound was calculated as follows:

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

Where:

High_Control is defined as wells containing cells, Deltorphin B and DMSO.
Test_Compound is defined as wells containing cells, test compounds and DMSO.
Low_Control is defined as wells containing cells and DMSO.

A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally activating compounds in the primary screen. Two values were calculated: (1) the average percent activation 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 % activation than the cutoff parameter was declared active.

PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:

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 100-2, and for inactive compounds 2-0.

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.

Protocol: Black, standard capacity streptavidin-coated 384-well plates (Pierce 15407) were first washed with 50 L of phosphate buffer (100 mM, pH 7.0; PB7) three times using a Biotek 405 ELX plate washer. Subsequently, 5 L of biotinylated pre-miRNA substrate (500 nM final) was dispensed into the plate using a Multidrop Combi Reagent Dispenser (Thermo Scientific). Plates were then centrifuged for 1 min at 1,000 RPM (223 g), sealed with plate tape, and incubated overnight at 4 C. The following morning, plates were washed three times with 50 L of PB7, followed by the addition of 5 L of Dicer digest buffer (20 mM Tris, 12 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM fresh DTT, and 4.5% DMSO) and centrifugation. Compounds (50 nL of 5 mM DMSO stock, 25 M final) were then added into the sample wells using a Sciclone (Caliper) liquid handler with V&P pintool; the same volume of DMSO was added to the control wells. The plates were incubated at 25 C for 15 min before addition of 5 L of digest buffer containing 217 g/nL Dicer (108 g/mL Dicer, 5% glycerol and 0.01% Triton X-100 final, excess with respect to pre-miRNA). For the positive control wells, digest buffer without Dicer was added. The plates were centrifuged again and resealed before being placed in a 37 C incubator for 5 h. After Dicer cleavage, plates were washed three times with 50 L of PB7. mTet-HRP in PB7 (10 L, 750 nM final) was then dispensed into each well. The plates were subsequently centrifuged, sealed, and incubated at 25 C for 2 h. Plates were then washed three times with 50 L of wash buffer (2 mM imidazole, 260 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.1% Tween-20, pH 7.0), followed by washing three additional times with 50 L of PB7. Finally, SuperSignal West Pico (25 L; Pierce) was added, the plates were incubated at 25 C for 5 min, and chemiluminescence signal was detected using a PHERAstar plate reader using LUM plus module (BMG Labtech).

Comment: The activity outcome is based on a Z-score (number of standard deviations from the negative control mean) of 3 or higher on at least 50% times that the sample was screened.

For instance, if the sample was screened in n=4 runs, it would be considered active only if it had a Z-score of 3 or above in at least 2 runs.

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: 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: The plate pattern correction algorithm 'Runwise Pattern (Multiplicative)' in Genedata (v7.0.3) was applied to the normalized plate data.

PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE:
This was set as equal to the mean of the normalized and corrected 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 at 80.

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 100.

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 3 (inconclusive) :
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE >= AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP < PAR_T

Samples passing PAR_T only were assigned an outcome of 3 (inconclusive) :
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE < AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP >= PAR_T

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.

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

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.

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".

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.

Protocol: NCGC Assay Protocol Summary:

Reagents: 50mM Tris acetate, pH 7.5; 10mM Mg acetate; 10uM D-luciferin (Sigma #L9504); 10uM ATP; 0.01% Tween-20; 0.05% BSA; 10nM P. pyralis luciferase (Sigma #L9506)
Control compounds used were two known firefly luciferase inhibitors (compounds (2) and (5) in Auld et al., 2010), and DMSO.

Assay Summary:
Three microliters containing firefly luciferase substrates in buffer (final concentrations: 50mM Tris acetate, pH 7.5, 10mM Mg acetate, 0.01% Tween-20, 0.05% BSA, 10uM D-luciferin, and 10uM ATP) are dispensed into each well of a Greiner white, solid-bottom 1536-well format plate using a flying reagent dispenser (FRD). These assay plates were then treated with 23nL of compound or DMSO using a Kalypsys pin tool, which allows for delivery of a 6-point interplate titration of each compound to the assay plate (quantitative HTS), with a final compound concentrations ranging from approximately 60muM to 7pM. One microliter of firefly luciferase in 500mM Tris-acetate buffer was then delivered by FRD to each well for a final enzyme concentration of 10nM. Luciferase activity was then measured using a ViewLux CCD imager (PerkinElmer), with an average exposure time of 2-30 seconds (2X binning, medium/high gain).

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.

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this assay is to identify new small molecules which specifically enhance the synthesis of neuronal Transthyretin (TTR) transcription without increasing hepatic or peripheral TTR levels. In this assay, SHSY5Y human neuroblastoma cells stably expressing the Gaussia luciferase (eGLuc2) gene under the control of 2kb of the human TTR promoter (SHSY5Y TTR eGLuc2) are incubated with test compounds for a defined period, followed by the addition of luciferase substrate followed by a luminescence measurement. As designed, test compounds that activate neuronal TTR levels, will increase well luminescence. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 16.7 uM.

Protocol Summary:

The stably transfected SHSY5Y-TTR neuroblastoma cells were routinely cultured in T-225 sq cm flasks at 37 C and 95% relative humidity (RH). The growth media consisted of DMEM supplemented with 10% v/v Fetal Bovine Serum, 500ug/mL Geneticin and 1X Penicillin-Streptomycin-Glutamine.

Prior to assay, cells were suspended to a concentration of 500,000 cells/mL in DMEM containing 10% v/v Fetal Bovine Serum and 1X Penicillin-Streptomycin-Glutamine. The day before the assay, 3uL of Recombinant Lucia Luciferase Protein (20ng/mL final concentration) was dispensed into column 3 only and 1500 cells in 3 uL of cell assay media were seeded into the remaining wells. Next, 51 nL of test compound in DMSO, F11 or FD (167 uM final concentration) in DMSO, or DMSO alone (1.67% final concentration) were dispensed to the appropriate wells. The plates were then incubated for 24 hours at 37 C, 5% CO2, and 95 % RH.

Following the one day incubation, plates were equilibrated to room temperature for 10 minutes. The assay was started by adding 3 uL of QUANTI-Luc detection reagent (prepared according to the manufacturer's protocol) to all wells. Plates were centrifuged and well luminescence was read on a ViewLux microplate reader (Perkin Elmer, Turku, Finland).

The percent activation for each compound was calculated as follows:

%_Activation = 100 * ( ( RLU_Test_Compound - Median_RLU_Low_Control ) / ( Median_RLU_High_Control - Median_RLU_Low_Control ) ) )

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing cells, test compounds and DMSO.
High_Control is defined as wells containing LUCIA 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 activating compounds in the primary screen. Two values were calculated: (1) the average percent activation 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 % activation 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 100-7, for inactive 7-0.

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.

The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-64, and for inactive compounds 64-0.

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. 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.

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).

Protocol: Four microliter of 25 nM FITC-p-9-mer + 60 nM Plk1 PBD in buffer solution (final concentrations 25 nM and 60 nM respectively) or 4 uL of 25 nM FITC-p-9-mer (final concentration 25 nM) in buffer will be dispensed into a 1,536 Greiner medium-binding black solid plate. Small molecules at final concentrations of 18 nM to 57 uM and positive control phospho-9-mer (sequence: Ac-PPLHSpTAI-NH2) at final concentrations 26 nM to 57 uM and phospho-13-mer (sequence: Ac-CETFDPPLHSpTAI-NH2) at final concentrations of 1 nM to 2.3 uM will be pin-transferred (23 nL) to the plate via a Kalypsys pin-tool robotics equipped with a 1,536-pin array. The reaction plate will be centrifuged for 1 min at 1000 rpm and incubated at room temperature for 10 min. The FITC fluorescence signals will be read using the PerkinElmer ViewLux plate reader at 480 / 20 nm excitation and 540 / 20 nm S and P polarization emission wavelengths. Reagent bottles will be kept submerged into 4 oC recirculating chiller bath and all liquid lines will be covered with aluminum foil to minimize degradation. Library plates will be screened starting from the lowest to the highest concentrations to minimize compound carryover. Vehicle only plates, with DMSO being pin-transferred instead of compound solutions, will be included regularly throughout the screen to record any systematic shifts in assay signal.

Comment: Compounds that demonstrated %activity >= 55% are defined as actives in this assay.

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

Protocol: Protocol:

Cystic Fibrosis airway epithelial cells (CFBE) have been transiently transfected (electroporation) with vectors containing an Yellow Fluoresencent Protein (YFP) halide-sensitive mutant and the human Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator with the deletion of the amino acid phenylalanine 508 (CFTR-F508del) provided by Dr. Jinliang Sui from the Flatley Discovery laboratory (Charlestown, MA).

Day 1 (Cell plating and compound pinning in assay plates)

Prior to perform the luciferase reporter assay experiments, the CFBE cells are thawed and reconstituted in MEM medium (Invitrogen, 11965) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) (Gibco, 16140), 1X antibiotic (Penicillin/Streptamycin/Glutamine) (Gibco, Ref. no. 10378-016). CFBE cells are then plated in 384-well format cell culture treated solid black wall clear bottom assay plates (Corning, Cat. # 3712) at a density of 6,000 cells/well using the multidrop dispenser (standard cassette)(Thermo Scientific) in a final volume of 50 ul. The assay plates are placed in 5% CO2 incubator where they are incubated for 2h at 37oC. After 2h of incubation, the assay plates are pulled out of the incubator and are placed side by side on a pinning table adjacent to compound plates containing the MLPCN library and a sentinel plate containing 32 wells with the positive control C18. 100 nl of the compounds and the positive control C18 (final concentration 10 uM) are then collected on metal pins from these compound plates and transferred to the assay plate. The pins are washed with DMSO and methanol between each transfer. The assay plates are then moved back to the 5% CO2 incubator and incubated for an additional 24h.

Day 2 (Cell wash, CFTR channel activation, quenching and reading on the Flipr)

The assay plates are coming out of the incubator and washed once with PBS (50 ul) using a Biotek plate washer and 20ul of 20 uM Forskolin (Cayman Chemicals) and 3uM potentiator P3 (final concentration) in DPBS is added to the assay plate for 1h at 37oC. Then, the assay plates are cooled down for 30 minutes at room temperature and 25 ul of YFP quencher sodium iodide (72.5 mM final concentration) in DPBS is added and the fluorescence is measured every second for one minute on the Flipr tetra (Molecular Devices).

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

EXPECTED OUTCOME: Active compounds result in decreasing readout signal.

NORMALIZATION:
The raw signals of the plate wells were normalized using the 'Neutral Controls' method in Genedata Assay Analyzer (v10.0.2):
The median raw signal of the intraplate neutral controls (NC) is set to a normalized activity value of 0.
A normalized activity value of 100 is defined as (2)(NC).
A normalized activity value of -50 is defined as (0.5)(NC).
Experimental wells values were scaled to this range.
All well activities were then multiplied by -1 to create a positive activity readout value range, to match Pubchem convention.


PATTERN CORRECTION: The plate pattern correction algorithm 'Runwise Pattern (Multiplicative)' in Genedata (v10.0.2) was applied to the normalized plate data.

PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE:
This was set as equal to the mean of the normalized and corrected 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 at 8.

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 100.

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 3 (inconclusive) :
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE >= AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP < PAR_T

Samples passing PAR_T only were assigned an outcome of 3 (inconclusive) :
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE < AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP >= PAR_T

External ID: FIBRIN-TN7_INH_FP_1536_1X%INH PRUN

Protocol: Assay Overview:

The purpose of this biochemical assay is to identify compounds that bind to Fibrin-DD(E), a protein substrate prepared from human-derived polymerized fibrin clots. In this assay, Fibrin-DD(E) protein is incubated with test compounds for a defined period, followed by addition of fluorescent probe fluorescein Tn7 (FITC-Tn7). The reaction is excited with linear polarized light and the intensity of the emitted light is measured as the polarization value. As designed, test compounds that bind to Fibrin-DD(E) will prevent Fibrin-DD(E)-probe interactions, thereby increasing the proportion of free (unbound) fluorescent probe in the well, leading to low fluorescence polarization. Compounds will be tested in singlicate at a final nominal concentration of 8.3 uM.

Protocol Summary:
Displacement assay starts by the addition of Fibrin-DD(E) (final concentration 2uM) in assay buffer (50mM Tris base, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, and 0.01% Triton X-100, pH 7.8) to all wells, followed by the addition of equal volume of inhibitor peptide Aha-Tn7 (final concentration 10uM) to high control wells and equal volume of assay buffer to sample wells and low control wells. Compounds in DMSO are transferred to plate and incubated for a period of 10 min, at which time TRITC-TN7 probe is added to all wells (final concentration of 0.1uM). After 3 hrs at room temperature fluorescence polarization is measured using Perkin Elmer EnVisionwith FITC filter set.


%_Inhibition = ( FP_Test_Compound - MedianFP_Sample_Field ) / ( MedianFP_High_Control - MedianFP_Sample_Field ) * 100

Where:

Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound.
High_Control is defined as wells containing Aha-Tn7 peptide.
Low_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO.
Sample_Field is defined as 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 100-15, for inactive 15-0.

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. 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.

Comment: Compounds that demonstrated % activity of >=50 at 20 uM concentration are defined as actives in this assay.

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: AMA1100

Protocol: Two microliters of his-tagged AMA1 3D7 allele protein (final concentration 25 nM) was dispensed into a 1,536-well assay plate. Small molecules and positive control peptides were pin-transferred (23 nL or 46 nL) via Kalypsys pin-tool equipped with a 1,536-pin array, resulting in final compound and peptide concentration ranges of 91.5 nM - 57.2 muM, and 15.6 nM - 2.00 muM, respectively. Unlabeled RON2 peptide or R1 peptide (VFAEFLPLFSKFGSRMHILK) that specifically binds the 3D7 AMA1 was used as a positive control that inhibited the binding of RON2L to AMA1. After 15 minutes incubation, 1 uL of biotinylated RON2 peptide (final concentration 25 nM) or buffer were dispensed and the assay plate was incubated for an additional 30 minutes at room temperature and protected from light. This was followed by an addition of 1 uL mixture of donor and acceptor beads (10 ug/mL final concentrations for each). The plates were incubated for 30 min at room temperature and read using the EnVision(R) plate reader (PerkinElmer). Maximum inhibition response was normalized to the positive control signal while no inhibition response was normalized to the DMSO treated wells.

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.
