Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition of Recombinant TrxR1
Description:  Small molecule inhibition of recombinant thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) and gluthathione reductase (GR) was examined in 96-well plate format. 30 nM TrxR1 was incubated in the presence of 250 μM NADPH, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, and various concentrations of compound (1% DMSO final) in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5) and 2 mM EDTA buffer for 15 minutes. Following the incubation period, 2 mM DTNB was added to each well and the change in O.D. at 412 nm was followed. Percent activity was determined using DMSO vehicle and no TrxR1 (blank) controls. 2 nM GR was incubated in the presence of 250 μM NADPH, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, and various concentrations of compounds (1% DMSO final) in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5) and 2 mM EDTA buffer for 15 minutes. Following the incubation period, 1 mM GSSG was added to each well and the change in O.D. at 340 nm was followed. Percent activity was determined using DMSO vehicle and no GR (blank) controls.
