| Description: | The carbonic anhydrase II enzyme activity inhibition was measured by measuring the esterase activity in which carbonic anhydrase II degrades 4-nitrophenyl acetate (4-NPA) (produced by Sigma-Aldrich). A purified carbonic anhydrase II solution (C6624, produced by Sigma-Aldrich) was diluted with an assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5)) to 100 nM, and 50 μL of the resulting solution was added to a 96-well plate (3695, produced by Costar) containing 40 μL of the test substance. After reaction at room temperature for 10 minutes, 10 μL of a 50 mM 4-NPA solution was added to each well, followed by incubation for 30 minutes at room temperature. The 50 mM 4-NPA solution was prepared by 10-fold dilution of a 500 mM 4-NPA solution, which was prepared at the time of use by dissolving the reaction product in DMSO, with the assay buffer. The absorbance at 405 nm was measured using a microplate reader (SpectraMax 250, produced by Molecular Devices). |
