| Description: | The intrinsic potency of the compounds may be measured using an enzymatic assay which measures the production of F P. Compounds are prepared in DMSO and tested in a 10-point concentration curve, to create 3-fold serial dilutions of the compounds in a 96-well plate ranging from 20 μM to 1.02 nM. Enzyme is prepared in assay buffer [50 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 10 mM potassium chloride, 100 mM magnesium chloride, 2 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), 0.01% n-octyl glucoside] and incubated with compounds at RT for 15 min. The reaction is carried out in 100 μL volumes containing substrate concentrations of fructose (250 μM for KHK-C assay and 1.25 mM for KHK-A assay) and ATP (150 μM for both isoforms); which are further incubated at RT for 20 min. The reaction is then halted by the addition of stop buffer; consisting of 0.2% formic acid and 1 μg/ml 13C6-fructose-6-phosphate (13C6-F6P) internal standard. Plates are stored in −20° C. until RapidFire MS analysis. RapidFire MS Analysis for Quantitation of F1P. |
