| Description: | CHO cells stably transfected with human Orexin type 1 receptors (CHO-hOX1) or HEK-293 cells transiently transfected with human Orexin type 2 receptors (HEK-hOX2) were collected after 16 h induction with 5 mM sodium butyrate. The cell pellets were re-suspended, homogenized in 15 mM Tris/HCl pH=7.5, 1 mM EGTA, 0.3 mM EDTA, 2 mM MgCl2, protease inhibitors and centrifuged at 40,000 g (20 min, 4° C.). After re-suspension, homogenization and centrifugation as above, the final pellets were re-suspended in 75 mM Tris/HCl pH=7.5, 1 mM EGTA, 0.3 mM EDTA, 12.5 mM MgCl2, 250 mM Sucrose, protease inhibitors, divided into aliquots and frozen down at −80° C.Compounds of invention were serially diluted in neat DMSO at 100-fold concentrations (1% DMSO final in the assay) and 2 μl/well were plated into 96-well Isoplates (Perkin Elmer). |
