- Inhibition Assay A TR-FRET-based phosphodiesterase assay kit from Molecular Devices was used to test whether these compounds were indeed direct inhibitors of the PDE4 enzyme. Using Roflumilast as a positive control, compounds of the present invention were tested against fluorescein-labeled cAMP substrate. The principle of the assay is based on the binding of a nucleotide monophosphate generated upon cAMP conversion to 5′ AMP by PDE to an IMAP binding reagent, which in turn is also ligated to a separate complex carrying terbium (Tb)-donor molecule. Proximity of the fluoreceinated 5′AMP to the Tb donor generates Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer. A PDE inhibitor will reduce the conversion of cAMP to 5′AMP, thus reducing monophosphate that can bind to the IMAP binding reagent and reduce the resulting FRET signal.
