| | Dopamine D1 Receptor Agonism |
| Description: | Dopamine D1 receptor agonism was measured using a HTRF cAMP from CisBio using the protocol developed by HD Biosciences (China). Briefly, the assay is a homogeneous time resolved-fluorescence resonance energy transfer (HTRF) assay that measures production of cAMP by cells in a competitive immunoassay between native cAMP produced by cells and cAMP-labeled with XL-665. A cryptate-labeled anti-cAMP antibody visualizes the tracer. The assay was performed in accordance with instructions from manufacturer.Test compounds were added to wells of microplates (384 format). HEK-293 cells expressing the human D1 receptor were plated at 1000 cells/well and incubated 30 min at room temperature. cAMP-d2 tracer was added to wells and followed by addition of Anti-cAMP antibody-cryptate preparation and incubated for 1 h at room temperature in dark. HTRF cAMP was measured by excitation of the donor with 337 nm laser (the TRF light unit ) and subsequent (delay time 100 microseconds) measurement of cryptate and d2 emission at 615 nm and 665 nm over a time window of 200 microseconds with a 2000 microseconds time window between repeats/100 flashes). HRTF measurements were performed on an Envision microplate reader (PerkinElmer). The HTRF signal was calculated as the emission-ratio at 665 nm over 615 nm. The HTRF ratio readout for test compounds was normalized to 0% and 100% stimulation using control wells with DMSO-solvent or 30 uM dopamine. Test compound potency (EC50) was estimated by nonlinear regression using the sigmoidal dose-response (variable slope) using Xlfit 4 (IDBS, Guildford, Surrey, UK, model 205).y=(A+((B−A)/(1+((C/x){circumflex over ( )}D))))where y is the normalized HTRF ratio measurement for a given concentration of test compound, x is the concentration of test compound, A is the estimated efficacy at infinite compound dilution, and B is the maximal efficacy. C is the EC50 value and D is the Hill slope coefficient. EC50 estimates were obtained from an independent experiment and the logarithmic average was calculated. |
