Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  The inhibitory properties of compounds relative to BTK is determined using a black 384-well-plate format in a buffer which contains 50 mM Hepes, 10 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.01% Brij35 , 1 mM DTT, and 0.1 mg/mL BSA at pH 7.3. The test compound is prepared in DMSO using 2-fold serial dilutions for 11 data points, which are added to the buffer so that each dilution contains 3% DMSO. To initiate the assay, 5 μL of 3 μM 5FAM-EEPLYWSFPAKKK-NH2 (in buffer), 5 μL of diluted test compound (3% DMSO in buffer), and 5 μL of 9 nM BTK and 150 μM ATP in buffer are combined in each well. The reaction mixtures are incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes and then quenched by adding 25 μL of 50 mM EDTA. To quantify the fluorescent-labeled substrate and product following reaction, the test plate is loaded on a Caliper LC-3000, which measures percent of conversion by microfluidic-based separation. Corresponding IC50 values are calculated by non-linear curve fitting of the compound concentrations and percent of inhibition to the standard IC50 equation and reported as pIC50, i.e., −log(IC50), where IC50 is molar concentration at 50% inhibition.
