Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Fluorescence Polarization
Description:  Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 FP binding affinity of compound(s) of Formulae (I), (I-a), (I-b), (I-c), (I-d) and/or (I-e) may be determined using a variety of known methods. One such assay is a sensitive and quantitative in vitro binding assay using fluorescence polarization ("FP") described by Wang, J.-L.; Zhang, Z-J.; Choksi, S.; Sjam. S.; Lu, Z.; Croce, C. M.; Alnemri, E. S.; Komgold, R.; Huang, Z. Cell permeable Bcl-2 binding peptides: a chemical approach to apoptosis induction in tumor cells. Cancer Res. 2000, 60, 1498-1502).Additionally, the binding affinity of compound(s) of Formulae (I), (I-a), (I-b), (I-c), (I-d) and/or (I-e) to Bcl-2 protein in vitro was determined by a competitive binding assay based on fluorescence polarization. For example, fluorescence polarization ("FP") assays may be developed using a c-terminal 6.times.HIS tagged Bcl-2 (aa 1-204) and a C-terminal 6.times.HIS tagged Bcl-X.sub.L (aa 1-209). The tracer may be a synthetic peptide BH-3 peptide Bim conjugated to Fluores.
