Researchers developed a novel multiplexed assay to screen over 3000 G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) interactions simultaneously. This advancement aids in discovering more selective GPCR-targeted drugs and identifying ligands for orphan receptors.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Biochemistry
  • Drug Discovery

Background:

  • G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial drug targets, yet challenges remain in achieving drug selectivity and identifying ligands for orphan receptors.
  • Existing methods often lack the throughput to screen large numbers of GPCRs efficiently.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a high-throughput, multiplexed assay for screening GPCR-ligand interactions.
  • To enable the discovery of selective GPCR-targeted drugs and ligands for orphan receptors.

Main Methods:

  • A multiplexed assay combining reverse transfection in 96-well plates with a calcium flux readout.
  • Cotransfection of GPCRs with a promiscuous G protein to analyze receptors not typically mobilizing calcium.
  • Utilized reverse transfection cell microarrays for GPCR target screening.

Main Results:

  • Successfully measured over 3000 receptor:ligand interactions in a single microplate.
  • Quantitatively assessed receptor activation, inhibition, compound potency, and selectivity across GPCR families.
  • Demonstrated utility in ligand selectivity screening and dose-dependent analysis of agonists and antagonists.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multiplexed assay significantly enhances GPCR-targeted drug discovery efficiency.
  • This platform facilitates the identification of selective drug candidates and ligands for a wide range of GPCRs.
  • The assay is adaptable for orphan receptors and provides quantitative insights into drug-target interactions.
