The reference compound for each assay is listed <strong>in</strong> each assay description. The historical average IC 50 /EC 50 value is also<br />

shown <strong>in</strong> each assay description.<br />

Any of our assay protocols can be customized: Please <strong>in</strong>quire<br />

Percent <strong>in</strong>hibition (mean of replicates), <strong>in</strong>dividual values as percent of control, EC 50 or IC 50 value (calculated from a m<strong>in</strong>imum<br />

5 concentration test<strong>in</strong>g), Ki value for receptor b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g assays (calculated us<strong>in</strong>g Cheng-Prussof equation, and the true Kd of the<br />

membrane preparation used for the experiment), K Bapp for functional GPCR cellular assays, Hill coefficient (nH), and plotted<br />

EC 50 or IC 50 curves.<br />

NOTE: The Kd values mentioned <strong>in</strong> the catalog are <strong>in</strong>dicative values only.<br />

❚ data turnaround<br />

Complete data set is typically available with<strong>in</strong> 3 weeks, after receipt of the compounds at the test<strong>in</strong>g site, for all the b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g<br />

assays and most of the enzyme assays (provid<strong>in</strong>g that we receive all available <strong>in</strong>formation to <strong>in</strong>itiate the study). The cell-based<br />

assays (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the functional assays) would require 3 to 6 weeks for data delivery.<br />

Secure, password-protected data can be viewed on l<strong>in</strong>e as soon as they are produced, after scientific approval and QC-ed<br />

by an experienced technician.<br />

For majority of assays, ExpresScreen option (5 bus<strong>in</strong>ess day turnaround time) is available: please <strong>in</strong>quire.<br />

Agonism/antagonism assessment<br />

The agonist activity is evaluated by expos<strong>in</strong>g the tissues to <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g concentrations of the compounds. Where an agonistlike<br />

response is obta<strong>in</strong>ed, the reference antagonist is tested aga<strong>in</strong>st the highest test concentration to confirm the <strong>in</strong>volvement<br />

of the receptor studied <strong>in</strong> this response. A reference full agonist is used as a positive control.<br />

The antagonist activity is evaluated by test<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g concentrations of the compounds aga<strong>in</strong>st a s<strong>in</strong>gle concentration of<br />

the reference agonist. A reference antagonist is used as a positive control.<br />

EC 50 /pD 2 values for agonists, IC 50 values for antagonists and maximum responses (Emax)<br />

Same protocols as above, with full concentration response curves.<br />

pA 2 or pD’ 2 values for antagonists<br />

Concentration-response curves to the reference full agonist are obta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> the absence (control) and <strong>in</strong> the presence of a<br />

fixed concentration of the compound. The result<strong>in</strong>g changes <strong>in</strong> the agonist curves are used to determ<strong>in</strong>e a pA 2 value for<br />

competitive antagonism (decrease <strong>in</strong> the pD 2 value of the agonist) or a pD’ 2 value for non-competitive antagonism (decrease<br />

<strong>in</strong> the maximum response to the agonist).<br />

Any of our assay protocols can be customized: Please <strong>in</strong>quire<br />
