Description: Cell-Based Assay: The ability of compounds to modulate production of amyloid beta protein Abeta(1-42) was determined using human WT-APP overexpressing CHO cells. Cells were plated at 22,000 cells/100 uL well in 96 well tissue culture treated, clear plates (Falcon) in DMEM/F12 based medium and incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. Compounds for testing were diluted in 100% DMSO to achieve an eleven points, half log, dose response for IC50 determinations. Compounds were added in fresh medium to achieve 1% final DMSO. Appropriate vehicle or inhibitor controls were added into control wells individually to obtain minimum or maximum inhibition values, respectively, for the assay signal window before the plates were incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. This procedure produces conditioned media in each well which is tested for Abeta(1-42) levels in the ELISA detection step described next. The remaining cell cultures in each well are also tested for cell toxicity as described below.
