IC50 (binding) | = 79 nM | BindingDB_Patents: Binding Assay. Membranes from CHO/Galpha16 cells stably transfected with human hMCH-1R are resuspended using a syringe (needle 0.6x25 mm) and diluted in test buffer (50 mM HEPES, 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM EGTA, pH 7.00; 0.1% bovine serum albumin (protease-free), 0.021% bacitracin, 1 ug/ml aprotinin, 1 ug/ml leupeptin and 1 uM phosphoramidone) to a concentration of 5 to 15 ug/ml. 200 microliters of this membrane fraction (contains 1 to 3 ug of protein) are incubated for 60 minutes at ambient temperature with 100 pM of 125I-tyrosyl melanin concentrating hormone (125I-MCH commercially obtainable from NEN) and increasing concentrations of the test compound in a final volume of 250 microliters. After the incubation the reaction is filtered using a cell harvester through 0.5% PEI treated fibreglass filters (GF/B, Unifilter Packard). The membrane-bound radioactivity retained on the filter is then determined after the addition of scintillator substance (Packard Microscint 20). | ChEMBL. | No reference |
Many chemical entities in TDR Targets come from high-throughput screenings with whole cells or tissue samples, and not all assayed compounds have been tested against a single a single target protein, probably because they get ruled out during screening process. Even if these compounds may have not been of interest in the original screening, they may come as interesting leads for other screening assays. Furthermore, we may be able to propose drug-target associations using chemical similarities and network patterns.
