In Vitro Test of Inhibition of Human FP Receptor Activity: For the characterization of test substances in respect of FP antagonism, PGF2α-induced calcium flux in FP-expressing CHEM1 cells (Millipore, HTS093C) was used.3000 cells in 30 μl of full medium [DMEM F12, 10% FCS, 1.35 mM sodium pyruvate, 20 mM HEPES, 4 mM GlutaMAX™, 2% sodium bicarbonate, 1% Pen/Strep, 1% 100× non-essential amino acids] are sown per well of a 384 multititre plate (from Greiner, TC plate, black with clear base) and incubated at 33° C., 5% CO2 for 24 hours. Prior to the measurement, the medium is replaced by 30 μl of Fluo-8 AM loading buffer [calcium-free Tyrode (130 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 20 mM HEPES, 1 mM MgCl2, 4.8 mM NaHCO3, pH 7.4), 2 mM CaCl2, 6.3 mM Probenecid, 5 μM Fluo-8 AM, 0.0112% Pluronic®] and incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 30 minutes. The test substance is prepared in DMSO in various concentrations as a dose-response curve (starting concentration 10 mM, dilution factor 3.16) and prediluted 1:50 with calcium-free Tyrode, 2 mM CaCl2, 0.002% SmartBlock (from CANDOR Bioscience GmbH). 10 μl of the prediluted substance solution are added to the Fluo-8-laden cells and incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 10 minutes. The FP receptor is activated by adding 40 μl of 2 nM (final concentration) PGF2α in calcium-free Tyrode, 2 mM CaCl2, 0.002% SmartBlock, and the calcium flux is determined by measuring the fluorescence at ex. 470 nm/em. 525 nm in a fluorescence measuring instrument (FLIPR Tetra®, Molecular Devices) for 120 seconds.
