    Description of the Methods for hBK1 Receptor Binding


CHO cells expressing the hBK1 receptor are cultivated in Dulbecco's modified medium. The medium from confluent cultures is removed and the cells are washed with PBS buffer, scraped off and isolated by centrifugation. The cells are then homogenized in suspension and the homogenate is centrifuged and resuspended. The protein content is determined and the membrane preparation obtained in this manner is then frozen at −80° C.


After thawing, 200 μl of the homogenate (50 to 100 μg of proteins/assay) are incubated at room temperature with 0.5 to 1.0 nM of kallidin (DesArg10, Leu9), [3,4-prolyl-3,43H(N)] and increasing concentrations of the test substance in a total volume of 250 μl for 60 minutes. The incubation is terminated by rapid filtration through GF/B glass fibre filters which had been pretreated with polyethyleneimine (0.3%). The protein-bound radioactivity is measured in a TopCount NXT. Non-specific binding is defined as radioactivity bound in the presence of 1.0 μM of kallidin (DesArg10, Leu9), [3,4-prolyl-3,43H(N)]. The concentration/binding curve is analysed using a computer-assisted nonlinear curve fitting. The Ki which corresponds to the test substance is determined using the data obtained in this manner.


In the test described, substances A to E have the following Ki values:
















Substance

A
 62 nM



B
 26 nM



C
 957 nM



D
 170 nM



E
1520 nM

The compounds prepared according to the invention can be administered intravenously, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intrarectally, intranasally, by inhalation, transdermally or orally, aerosol formulations being particularly suitable for inhalation. They can be incorporated into customary pharmaceutical preparations, such as tablets, coated tablets, capsules, powders, suspensions, solutions, metered aerosols or suppositories, if appropriate together with one or more customary inert carriers and/or diluents, for example with maize starch, lactose, cane sugar, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, cetylstearyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose or fatty substances, such as hardened fat, or suitable mixtures thereof.
