  • Late INa Screening Assay :
  • Late INa assay sodium channels are activated every 10 seconds (0.1 Hz) by depolarizing the cell membrane to -20 mV for 250 milliseconds (ms) from a holding potential of -120 mV.
  • typical Na v 1.5 sodium currents activate rapidly to a peak negative current and then inactivate nearly completely within 3-4 ms (see Figure 1).
  • Late INa current is generated by adding 10 ⁇ M Tefluthrin (pyrethroid) to the extracellular solution while recording Na currents.
  • the black traces (designated by the arrow, 101) are Na current measured before addition of Tefluthrin and the gray traces (designated by the arrow, 102) are measured after Tefluthrin addition.
  • 50 nM ATX II (sea anemone toxin), another late INa activator, was used to generate the late component. Both activators generate late components that are large enough that block of the late component by compounds can be measured easily.
  • late INa is defined as the mean current between 225 ms and 250 ms after stepping to -20 mV to activate Na channels.
  • late INa activators are added to each well 4 times over a 16-17 minute period so that the late component of the Na current reaches a stable value.
  • Compounds are then added (typically at 10 ⁇ M), in the presence of late INa activator, with 3 additions over the course of 7 or 8 minutes. Measurements are made typically at the end of exposure to the third compound addition.
  • Baseline current in the absence of Na + ions is measured at the end of each experiment (after two additions of ONa solution-see above) and is used to calculate the percent block by compound.
  • Peak INa Compounds were also evaluated for their effect in several other assays, including their effect on Peak INa.
  • the effect on Peak INa was measured using data from the Late INa assay.
  • peak currents were often too large to make this possible, requiring a separate assay to evaluate the effect on peak INa. Since the peak INa can be very large, introducing artifacts in the recording, the concentration of Na + in the bath is reduced to 20 mM and a nonpermeant cation is added to compensate for the Na + that was omitted from the standard extracellular solution (see above).
  • the peak INa assay uses a holding potential of -100 mV and a 20 ms test pulse to 0 mV to activate the channel.
  • both tonic (TB) block and use-dependent (UDB) block of peak inward sodium current by 10 ⁇ M compound are determined.
  • TB is block of the channel in the resting state, before the channel opens.
  • TB is simulated in this assay by stimulating the channel to open at a low frequency (0.1 Hz). This is done in order to measure the control current amplitude and monitor current rundown, enabling correction for rundown in the calculation of percent block for TB.
  • UDB is measured by stimulating the channel to open at a higher frequency (3 Hz) and is used to determine accumulated block in activated states by compound. Activating the channel at this higher frequency typically also decreases the peak current some even in the absence of compound. Therefore, the assay is designed to measure the use-dependent decrease in peak both in the absence and in the presence of compound, and the calculation of UDB corrects the decrease in current measured in the presence of compound for the decrease in current in the absence of compound ( Figure 6). [0242] After establishing the whole cell recording configuration, currents are allowed to stabilize for 6-10 minutes while channels are activated briefly at 0.1 Hz. This is followed by a 2 minute stimulation at 3 Hz and then a 2 minute stimulation at 0.1 Hz before addition of compound.

  • hERG channels are activated when the voltage is stepped to +20 mV from the - 80 mV holding potential (see Figure 3). During a 5 second step at +20 mV, the channels activate and then largely inactivate, so the currents are relatively small. Upon returning to -50 mV from +20 mV, hERG currents transiently become much larger as inactivation is rapidly removed and then the channel closes.
  • the first step to -50 mV for 300 ms is used as a baseline for measuring the peak amplitude during the step to -50 mV after channel activation. The peak current at -50 mV is measured both under control conditions and after addition of compound.
  • All compounds are prepared as 10 mM DMSO stocks in glass vials. Stock solutions are mixed by vigorous vortexing and sonication for about 2 minutes at room temperature. For testing, compounds are diluted in glass vials using an intermediate dilution step in pure DMSO and then further diluted to working concentrations in external solution. Dilutions are prepared no longer than 20 minutes before use. [0247] After achieving the whole-cell configuration, cells are monitored for 90 seconds to assess stability and washed with external solution for 66 seconds.
