URAT1 (Urate Anion Transporter) Inhibition Activity Assay: a. Construction of a Cell Line Stably Expressing hURAT1hURAT1 plasmid was transfected into HEK293T cell, and a cell line stably expressing hURAT1 was obtained by using G418 (Geneticin) for screening.b. Uric Acid Absorption InhibitionThe cell line stably expressing hURAT1 obtained through the above steps was seeded into a 96 well plate. After being incubated for at least 12 h, the medium was removed, and then cells were washed with (Cl−)-free HBSS buffer. The compound was diluted 4-fold with a buffer to give a series of concentrations of compound solutions from 200 μM to 0.8 nM. 5 μL of resulting compound solution and 45 μL of butter containing [8-14C] uric acid were mixed uniformly, and then the resulting mixed solution was added to the 96 well plate containing the cell line stably expressing hURAT1 (i.e. the final concentration of compound is range from 20 μM to 0.08 nM). At the same time, a buffer well (the cell line stably expressing hURAT1, without drug) and a negative well (HEK293T cell, without drug) were set up. After incubated at 37° C. for 5 min, the buffer was removed, and the cells were washed with buffer. 50 μL of lysis buffer (100 mM NaOH) was added to each well to lyse cells, and the well was shook at 600 rpm for 10 min, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, and then 45 μL of supernatant was pipetted to an Isoplate-96 microplate. To each well was added 150 μL of Ultima Gold™ XR, and the microplate was shook at 600 rpm for 10 min. MicroBeta Trilux scintillation/luminescent counter (PerkinElmer) was used to count, remaining amount of [8-14C] uric acid was read. Absorption inhibition ratio of the compound against [8-14C] uric acid was calculated by the following formula, and IC50 values were then calculated by software XLfit.
