Table 2. SR compounds display a range of bias at the human and mouse MOR.

Bias factor parameters of MOR agonists are presented across functional assays. GTPγS binding was determined in membranes from CHO-hMOR or -mMOR cells or from brainstems of C57BL/6J mice. Inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation was measured in CHO-hMOR cells. βArrestin2 recruitment to the human MOR was determined by the EFC assay performed in the U2OS-βarrestin-hMOR-PathHunter cells and to the mouse MOR by the βarrestin2-eGFP translocation imaging based assay in U20S-βarrestin2-eGFP-mMOR cells. Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. for ΔLog(τ/KA) values and with 95% confidence intervals for ΔΔlog(τ/KA) values. Assays were run in duplicate or triplicate, n ≥ 3. ΔLog(τ/KA) values were calculated relative to DAMGO within each individual experiment. ΔΔLog(τ/KA) values were then calculated between the indicated assays as described in the methods to propagate error (95% CI). See also: Figures 1 and S3 for the corresponding concentration response curves and Table S2 for corresponding EC50 and EMAX values.
