Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibitory Assay
Description:  The compounds of the present invention obtained in Production Examples were examined for the inhibitory effect on human and rat VAP-1 enzyme (SSAO) by the following method.The VAP-1 enzyme (SSAO) activity in both human and rat was measured by a radiochemical-enzyme assay using 14C-benzylamine as an artificial substrate. Human or rat VAP-1 was cloned from the cDNA library and expressed in a cell. The cell extract was preincubated with a test compound solution (final concentration 1×10−7-1×10−10 mol/L) at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then, 14C-benzylamine (final concentration 1×10−5 mol/L) was added, and the mixture was incubated at a final volume of 200 μL at 37° C. for 2 hours. The enzyme reaction was stopped by addition of 2 mol/L (200 μL) citric acid. The oxidation product was extracted with 1 mL toluene/ethyl acetate (1:1), and the radioactivity thereof was measured by a liquid scintillation counter.
