Perampanel Release Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Perampanel [2-(2-oxo-1-phenyl-5-pyridin-2yl-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl) benzonitrile] was a kind gift by Eisai Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). Batch 173H2901 was used for this set of experiments. Perampanel powder was stored at 4 °C. All solutions were freshly prepared before use. The drug was dissolved in DMSO solution to obtain 10 mM stock solutions; further dilutions were made in the incubation medium or in a medium consisting of 56 mM KCl (see section: “Brainstem incubations”).
Veratridine and capsaicin were purchased from Sigma (Sigma Chemicals Co., St. Louis, MO, USA), and dissolved in 100% ethanol at 10 mM concentration; subsequently, the standard solutions were diluted with incubation medium to reach the desired final concentrations.
Neither DMSO nor ethanol interfered with CGRP release when used at working concentrations (i.e 0.1% or less). Furthermore, none of the test drugs used interfered with CGRP assay.

The human glioblastoma cell lines U87 (#HTB-14), U138 (#HTB-16), and A172 (#CRL-1620) and the grade III astrocytoma cell line SW1783 (#HTB-13) were from ATCC. All glioma cell lines were grown in DMEM medium (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, SUA). Cells were routinely checked for mycoplasma contamination (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), used within 20 passages from thawing from a frozen stock. For in vitro studies, perampanel (Eisai Co., Ibaraki, Japan) and temozolomide (Schering Plough Corporation, Kenilworth, NJ, USA) were dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MI, USA). Final DMSO concentration in medium never exceeded 0.25%.

For the competitive displacement assay, rat synaptosomal membrane extract (0.2 mg protein/tube) was incubated for 120 minutes at 4°C with 20 nM [3H]E2730 and the following ASMs: carbamazepine (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation; 100 μM); lamotrigine (Sigma‐Aldrich, MO; 300 μM); diazepam (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation; 10 μM); gabapentin (Tokyo Chemical Industry; 300 μM); ethosuximide (Tokyo Chemical Industry; 3000 μM); perampanel (Eisai Co., Ltd.; 30 μM), retigabine (LKT Laboratories; 100 μM); levetiracetam (Tokyo Chemical Industry; 1000 μM); acetazolamide (Sigma‐Aldrich; 300 μM); sodium valproate (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation; 3000 μM); zonisamide (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation; 300 μM); and topiramate (Sigma‐Aldrich; 300 μM). Unlabeled E2730 (0.1–10 μM) was also assessed to confirm a representative displacement. Non‐specific binding was defined as the residual binding observed in the presence of 1 mM unlabeled E2730. Radioactivity of the synaptosome‐bound radioligand was measured in the same way as described above.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TETS was synthesized by a modification of the procedure of Esser et al. (1991). Solutions of TETS were made in 100% DMSO at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. Further dilutions were made in 10% DMSO in 0.9% saline. TETS was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of either 0.14 mg/kg or 0.2 mg/kg, or administered by oral gavage at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg. Perampanel was supplied by Eisai Inc. (Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan) and diazepam was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO). Perampanel and diazepam were prepared as suspensions in 1% Tween 80 in sterile saline and were administered intraperitoneally. Drug solutions for intraperitoneal or oral dosing were administered in a volume equaling 10-ml/kg body weight.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
