Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Binding Inhibition for Dopamine D2 Receptor
Description:  Buffer solution: 50 mM Tris-HCl (35409-45, Nacalai Tesque) (pH 7.4) containing 120 mM NaCl (31320-05, Nacalai Tesque), 1 mM MgCl.06HO (20909-55, Nacalai Tesque), 5 mM KCl (28514-75, Nacalai Tesque) and 2 mM CaCl) (067-31, NAKARAI CHEMICALS, LTD.)Radioligand: (final concentration) 1.2 nM [H]-Methylspiperone ([H N-methyl-]-Methylspiperone, NET-856, 83.8 Ci/mmol, PerkinElmer) Non-specific ligand: (final concentration) 10 μM Butaclamol [(+)-Butaclamol Hydrochloride, D033, Sigma] SPA beads solution: SPA beads [WGA PVT SPA Scintillation Beads, RPNQ0001 (500 mg), RPNQ0060 (2 g), PerkinElmer] (0.2 mg/well)Incubation time and temperature: 120 min at 25° C.Kd: 0.272 nM(Preparation of Solutions of Non-Specific Ligand or the Compounds of the Present Invention)Butaclamol or the compounds of the present invention were weighed and DMSO was added to make a 10 mM solution. This solution was diluted to each concentration.(Preparation of Radioligand Solution),[H]-Methylspiperone was weighed and the buffer solution was added to make a 3.6 nM solution.(Preparation of SPA Beads Solution) SPA beads were weighed and stirred in water to make a 50 mg/mL solution. Using this solution, a mixture with the cell membranes was prepared.
