Protocol: Assay protocol: 2 uL of reagents (buffer in column 4 as negative control and 90 nM rTrxR1 in columns 1-3 and 5-48) were dispensed into Greiner black solid-bottom 1,536-well assay plates, followed by 1 uL of NADPH (400 uM final concentration) to each well. The plates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 15 seconds and subsequently incubated for 5 min at room temperature (~22 deg C) to allow for rTrxR1 reduction. Compounds (23 nL) were then transferred via Kalypsys pin tool equipped with 1536-pin array (10 nL slotted pins, V&P Scientific, San Diego, CA). In addition, a duplicate 2-fold serial dilution of the control compounds auranofin, a known gold-based TrxR1 inhibitor, and juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), a natural TrxR1 substrate, were pin-transferred to columns 2 and 3, respectively. After incubation for 15 min at room temperature (~22 deg C), 1 uL of selenite (400 uM final concentration) were dispensed to each well. The plate was immediately transferred to a ViewLux high-throughput CCD imager (PerkinElmer), wherein kinetic measurements of NADPH fluorescence (Ex 340 nm, Em 450 nm) were acquired (8 minute kinetic read, see Table 1). Read 1 was utilized to assess the capacity of a compound to serve as an rTrxR1 substrate, i.e. a decrease in NADPH fluorescence compared to the no-compound background is an indication of a substrate behavior for that particular compound. For inhibitory activity of a compound, delta values, computed as the difference in fluorescence intensity between the first and last reads of an 8-minute time kinetic window, were used. All reagents were diluted in an assay buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 2 mM EDTA, and 0.01% Tween-20.

Throughout the screen, reagent bottle and all liquid lines were made light-tight to minimize reagent degradation. All screening operations were performed on a fully integrated robotic system (Kalypsys, San Diego, CA) containing one RX-130 and two RX-90 anthropomorphic robotic arms (Staubli, Duncan, SC). Library plates were screened starting from the lowest and proceeding to the highest concentration, and a 'double-pinning' step of the highest concentration was required to access higher concentrations of compounds. Vehicle-only plates, with DMSO being pin-transferred to the columns 5-48, were inserted uniformly at the beginning and the end of each library in order to monitor and record any shifts in the background, which can be affected by reagent dispensers or loss in enzyme activity over time. Screening data were corrected, normalized, and concentration-effect relationships were derived by using publicly-available curve fitting algorithms developed in-house (http://ncgc.nih.gov/pub/openhts).

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.

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.

External ID: FEN1001

Protocol: Three uL of reagents (buffer in column 3 and 4 as negative control and 10 nM FEN1 in columns 1, 2, and 5-48) were dispensed into 1,536-well black solid-bottomed plate. Compounds (23 nL) were transferred via Kalypsys pin tool equipped with 1536-pin array (10 nL slotted pins, V&P Scientific, San Diego, CA). The plates were then incubated for 15 min at room temperature, and 1 uL substrate (50 nM final concentration) were added to start the reaction read twice at 0 min read and 15 min on ViewLux reader. Throughout the screen, reagent bottle and all liquid lines were chilled and made light-tight to minimize reagent degradation. All screening operations were performed on a fully integrated robotic system (Kalypsys, San Diego, CA) containing one RX-130 and two RX-90 anthropomorphic robotic arms (Staubli, Duncan, SC). Library plates were screened starting from the lowest and proceeding to the highest concentration, and a "double-dipping" step of the highest concentration was required to access higher concentrations of compounds. Vehicle-only plates, with DMSO being pin-transferred to the entire column 5-48 compound area, were inserted uniformly at the beginning and the end of each library in order to monitor for and record any shifts in the background, which can be affected by reagent dispensers or loss in enzyme activity overtime. Screening data was corrected, normalized, and concentration-effect relationships were derived by using publicly-available curve fitting algorithms developed in-house (http://ncgc.nih.gov/pub/openhts). A four parameter Hill equation was fitted to the concentration-response data by minimizing the residual error between the modeled and observed responses.

External ID: LDHA

Protocol: The assay was optimized to 1536-well plates. Briefly, 3 muL of human lactate dehydrogenase 5 (#A38558H, Meridian Life Science, Inc., Memphis, TN) in LDH assay buffer (200 mM Tris HCl pH 7.4, 100 microM EDTA and 0.01% Tween-20) was added to a black solid bottom 1536-well assay plate (Greiner Bio-One) using a BioRAPTR FRD dispenser (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA). A 1536-well pintool dispenser outfitted with 20 nL pins (Wako Automation, San Diego, CA) was used to transfer 23 nL of DMSO-solubilized compound (both library and vehicle controls) to each 1536-well assay plate. Following compound transfer, 1 muL of substrate solution containing NADH and sodium pyruvate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in LDH assay buffer was dispensed via BioRAPTR FRD to initiate the reaction. Final concentrations in the 4 microL reaction volume were 2 nM LDHA enzyme, 0.06 mM NADH and 0.2 mM sodium pyruvate. Following a 5 minute incubation period at room temperature, 1 muL of detection reagent (C. kluyveri diaphorase (Sigma-Aldrich) and resazurin sodium salt (Sigma-Aldrich) in LDH assay buffer) was added to a total volume of 5 muL. Final concentrations of detection reagents were 0.133 mg/mL diaphorase and 37 muM resazurin. Plates were immediately transferred to a ViewLux microplate imager (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA), and any resulting resorufin fluorescence was measured (ex540, em590 nm) at 0 and 20 minutes. Fluorescence was normalized using enzyme-free and DMSO-treated control wells on each plate.

External ID: Vaccinia-p2mCherry

Protocol: A549 cells were plated at a concentration of approximately 6,000 cells per well in clear-bottom black-walled plates. Compounds were added to the assay plate followed by addition of virus (LREV) that expresses the Venus fluorescent protein early in viral ininfection. During the late viral infection, mCherry was also added to the plate at an MOI of 10 (~ 60,000 plaque forming units (PFU) of virus). Following virus addition, plates were incubated in a tissue-culture incubator for 12-18 hours. At increasing times postinfection, fluorescence from both Venus and mCherrry was determined using a plate-reader and standard conditions for observing Venus fluorescence (EX515/EM530) and mCherry fluorescence (EX587/EM610). In each plate, positive controls (virus infection in the presence of 1% DMSO only) and an inhibitory drug control (AraC at 500 nM) was included and used to normalize the data.
