Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Enzymatic Assay (Inhibition of Type 1 17beta-HSD)
Description:  The enzymatic reaction was performed in the reaction buffer containing substrate, [14C]-estrone, and the test inhibitors. After the reaction, radiolabeled steroids were extracted from the reaction mixture, and solvent was evaporated to dryness. Steroids were dissolved and separated on TLC plates. Radioactivity signals were detected and quantified using a PhosphoImager (Sunny Vale, CA). The percentage of transformation of [14C]-E1 into [14C]-E2 was calculated. The IC50 values were calculated using an unweighted iterative least-squares method for four-parameter logistic curve fitting (DE50 program, CHUL Research Center, Quebec).
