Functional profile of compound 1 was obtained by using the phenytoin method which uses the same protocol as S1R radioligand binding assay with some differences. The experiments were performed one time in the presence of phenytoin and one time without phenytoin. In both cases the final volume was 0.5 mL and it was composed as follows: 200 μL of membrane preparation, 50 μL of 20 nM [3H](+)-pentazocine (28.4 Ci mmol−1, PerkinElmer), 50 μL of cold ligand or its solvent, 180 μL of Tris buffer (50 mM, pH 8) and 20 μL of 25 mM phenytoin (Merck Life Science S.r.l.) or its solvent (0.3 M NaOH). The incubation of samples lasts 120 min at 37 °C. Unlabeled (+)-pentazocine (10 μM) was used to measure non-specific binding. The molecules are defined S1R agonist if the Ki ratio without/with phenytoin is >1 and antagonist if the Ki ratio without/with phenytoin is ≤1.24 (link)

Membrane fraction of HEK293T Δσ1R cells was prepared as previously described (Yano et al., 2018 (link)). The radioligand incubation was carried out in 96-well plates containing 60 μL fresh Earle’s Balanced Salts Solution (EBSS) binding buffer (8.7 g/l Earle’s Balanced Salts without phenol red (United States Biological) and 2.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate, pH to 7.4), 20 μL of (+)-pentazocine (varying concentrations), 100 μL membranes (25 μg/well total protein), and 20 μL of radioligand diluted in binding buffer (1 nM [3H]-(+)-pentazocine (American Radiolabeled Chemicals), final concentration) for each well. We used 1 mM (+)-pentazocine as a non-specific control. Concentrations for non-radioactive (+)-pentazocine in homologous competition assay were: 100 μM, 10 μM, 1 μM, 100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, and 0.1 nM in EBSS with 10% DMSO. Total binding was determined with 1% DMSO vehicle (final concentration). All compound dilutions were tested in triplicate, and samples were incubated for 120 min at room temperature. The reactions were terminated by filtration through PerkinElmer Uni Filter-96 GF/B, presoaked in 0.05% PEI for 120 min, and the 96-well filter plates were counted in PerkinElmer MicroBeta Microplate Counter as described (Yano et al., 2018 (link)) with counter efficiency at 31% for [3H]-(+)-pentazocine. Kd and Bmax values were determined from at least three independent experiments.

Brain and liver homogenates for S1R and S2R receptor binding assays were prepared from male Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs and Sprague Dawley rats, respectively (ENVIGO RMS S.R.L., Udine, Italy; Italian Minister of Health, authorization for animal experimentation—Project acronym 335/1984F.N.JLT). [3H](+)-pentazocine (26.9 Ci/mmol) and [3H]1,3-di-o-tolylguanidine ([3H]DTG, 35.5 Ci/mmol) were purchased from PerkinElmer (Zaventem, Belgium).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Radioligand binding experiments were performed similarly to established procedures23 (link). In brief, Sf9 membranes expressing σ1 receptor were prepared by dounce homogenization followed by centrifugation. Resuspended membranes were aliquoted and flash frozen prior to use. For each binding experiment, membranes were incubated with 3H (+)-pentazocine (Perkin Elmer) at the indicated concentration or at a fixed concentration of 10 nM for competition binding assays. To approximate physiological conditions, incubation was carried out at 37 °C for 2 hours in 150 mM sodium chloride and 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5. Filter pads were incubated with 0.3% polyethyleneimine for 20 minutes, then samples were loaded onto the filter and washed using a Brandel harvester. Radioactivity was quantified by liquid scintillation counting. Non-specific binding was quantified by replicate reactions in the presence of 2 μM haloperidol. All measurements were performed in triplicate and repeated in two independent experiments. Experiments in Tris pH 7.5 showed similar results to those conducted in HEPES. Data analysis was performed in GraphPad Prism, with Ki values calculated by Cheng-Prusoff correction using the experimentally measured probe Kd.

Membrane samples prepared as described above were thawed, syringe homogenized, and diluted in 50 mM Tris pH 8.0 to a final concentration of 0.05 mg/mL in a 96-well plate with a final volume of 100 μL per well. For association experiments, samples were incubated with 1 nM, 10 nM, or 100 nM [3H](+)-pentazocine for 5 min to 6 h, with all points performed in triplicate. For dissociation experiments, samples were first incubated with 10 nM [3H](+)-pentazocine (Perkin Elmer) for 90 minutes at 37 °C to reach equilibrium. After equilibration, 1 μL 500 μM haloperidol (Tocris Biosciences) was added to a set of wells in triplicate for a particular time point. This was repeated for a total of eight time points over the course of twenty-four hours. Upon completion of the time course in either the association or dissociation experiment, the reaction was terminated by massive dilution in ice-cold water and filtration over a glass microfiber filter using a Brandel harvester. Filters were soaked in 0.3% PEI for at least 30 minutes prior to use. Radioactivity was quantified by liquid scintillation counting. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism.

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.
