| Description: | Compounds of the present invention were tested in a human RORγ ligand binding assay using a commercially available cell based ligand binding reporter assay in 96-well format (Cat #1304001, INDIGO Biosciences, State College, Pa.). The N-terminal DNA binding domains (DBD) of the native RORγ and RORγt receptors have been substituted with that of the yeast GAL4-DBD and stably transfected in HEK293T cells that also stably express luciferase under the regulation by upstream activation sequence of yeast Gal4. These cells constitutively express high level RORγ activity due to binding of endogenous co-factors. Both agonist and inverse agonist activity can be detected. The assay was performed according to kit manufacturer's instructions as follows. 10 mM compound stocks were diluted serially 1:3 with DMSO and further diluted with provided media to generate 10 titration points from 60 μM to 3 nM. These treatment conditions were added to the plates as 2× media in 100 μL volume. Each plate includes a positive control with 10 titration points as well as 6 negative control wells with vehicle only, with final DMSO concentration of 0.2%. RORγ reporter cells were rapidly thawed and added to the plates in 100 μL volume. The plates were incubated for 24 h in a 37° C. humidified 5% CO2 incubator. Media was removed before the addition of room temperature luciferous detection substrate. After 5 minute incubation, relative light units (RLUs) were quantified using a plate reading luminometer. Data was normalized to positive control wells with only 0.2%0DMSO. Before establishing internal controls, ursolic acid was used as control. |
