| | Fluorescence-Based Amplex Red Glutamic Acid Assay |
| Description: | The PSMA inhibitory activity was determined using a modification of the fluorescence-based Amplex Red Glutamic Acid Assay. Briefly, lysates of LNCaP cell extracts (25 μL) were incubated with the inhibitor (12.5 μL) in the presence of 4 μM N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) (12.5 μL) for 120 min. The amount of the glutamate released by NAAG hydrolysis was measured by incubating with a working solution (50 μL) of the Amplex Red Glutamic Acid Kit for 60 min. Fluorescence was measured with a VICTOR3V multilabel plate reader with excitation at 490 nm and emission at 642 nm. Inhibition curves were determined using semi-log plots and IC50 values were determined at the concentration at which enzyme activity was inhibited by 50%. Enzyme inhibitory constants (Ki values) were generated using the Cheng-Prusoff conversion. Assays were performed in triplicate. |
