TRPC1/4/5 cation channels are emerging drug targets for the treatment of, amongst others, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, kidney disease, and cardiovascular and metabolic disease. Various small-molecule TRPC1/4/5 modulators have been reported, including highly potent xanthine derivatives that distinguish between specific TRPC1/4/5 tetramers. However, tools to profile ligand engagement by TRPC1/4/5 channels in live cells are lacking. Here, we report a set of potent xanthine-based photoaffinity probes that functionally mimic the xanthines Pico145 and AM237. Using these probes, we have developed a photoaffinity labelling protocol for TRPC5 channels, providing the first method for the quantitative assessment of binding interactions of TRPC5 with small molecules in cells. This method could be important for drug discovery efforts targeting the xanthine/lipid binding site of TRPC1/4/5 channels. Diazirine-containing photoaffinity probes, based on the potent and selective TRPC1/4/5 channel inhibitor Pico145, allowed the development of an assay to probe cellular interactions between TRPC5 protein and xanthine-based TRPC5 channel modulators.
