| | IC50 for Inhibition of the Test Compounds on URAT1 |
| Description: | After trypsin digestion, the expression cells (HEK293) stably expressing URAT1 gene and mock cells were all inoculated into lysine-coated 24-well culture plates, with the cell inoculation density being 1×105 cells/well, and cultured in incubator at 37° C., 5% CO2 and saturated humidity for 2 days. The culture fluid in the culture plate was removed, and the cultured cells were washed twice with DPBS and subjected to warm bath in DPBS buffer solution at 37° C. for 10 min, and then a solution (500 μL) containing radioactive labeled probe substrate ([8-14C] uric acid) and 10 μM test compound (or blank) was used to substitute for DPBS, with the concentration of [8-14C] uric acid being 30 μM and the radiation intensity per well being 0.867 μCi. After 2 min, the reaction was terminated with ice-bathed DPBS buffer solution and washing was carried out for three times. Then 0.1 mol/L NaOH (500 μL) was added into each well to lyse the cells, the lysate was extracted into a scintillation vial and a scintillation fluid (Aquasol-2, 3 mL) was added, and the intensity of radioactivity in the sample was measured using a Tri-Carb 2910TR liquid scintillation analyzer (PerkinElmer, Waltham, USA). The concentration of a certain specific test compound was changed and a series of concentration points (nine concentration points were set between 0.001-10 μM) were set, to obtain the inhibition rates of the specific test compound at the above 9 concentration points. IC50 values for inhibition of the test compounds on URAT1 were calculated using the PRISM software based on the inhibition rate values of the test compound at different concentrations. |
