| Description: | The compounds were tested for serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK-1) inhibitory activity in a substrate phosphorylation assay designed to measure the ability of the isolated enzyme to catalyze the transfer of phosphate from ATP to serine/threonine residues in a fluorescein-labeled substrate peptide, using recombinant human SGK-1 enzyme produced in a baculovirus system (Biomol, Hamburg, Germany, Cat. No. 4-331). The synthesized fluorescent labeled peptide substrate contained (5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein)-RPRAATF-NH2. The phosphorylated substrate peptide and non-phosphorylated substrate peptide were separated with caliper life science's lab-chip technology based on a micro fluidics method. All fluid flow was established on the chip by applying a vacuum of a few psi to the waste well transporting fluid from various sources through interconnecting channels. Because the phosphoryl group is doubly negatively charged, under the pressure-driven hydrodynamic flow. |
