| | Binding assay NK-2 |
| Description: | Binding assays consisted of 25 ul of membrane suspension (approximately 3.75 ug of protein/well in a 96 well plate), 50 ul of compound or reference ligand (Neurokinin A) at increasing concentrations (diluted in assay buffer) and 0.1 nM [125I]-Neurokinin A. The plate was incubated 60 min at 25 C. in a water bath and then filtered over GF/C filters (Perkin Elmer, 6005174, presoaked in assay buffer without saponine for 2 h at room temperature) with a Filtration unit (Perkin Elmer). The radioactivity retained on the filters was measured by using the TopCount-NXT reader (Packard). Competition curves were obtained for compounds of the invention and the concentrations of compounds which displaced 50% of bound radioligand (IC50) were determined and then apparent inhibition constant Ki values were calculated by the following equation: Ki=IC50/(1+[L]/KD) where [L] is the concentration of free radioligand and KD is its dissociation constant at the receptor, derived from saturation binding experiments (Cheng and Prusoff, 1973). |
