| Description: | The binding assay was performed as SPA-based assay using a biotinylated form of human BACE1 recombinantly expressed and subsequently purified from Freestyle HEK293 cells. The binding assay was run in a 50 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 4.5 containing 50 mM NaCl and 0.03% Tween-20 in white clear bottom 384 plates (Corning #3653). 10 nM (final concentration) radioligand ([3H]N-((1S,2R)-1-benzyl-3-cyclopropylamino-2-hydroxy-propyl)-5-(methanesulfonyl-methyl-amino)-N((R)-1-phenyl-ethyl)-isophthalamide) (TRQ11569 purchased from GE Healthcare) was mixed with test compound at a given concentration, 6 nM (final concentration) human BACE1 and 25 μg Streptavidin coated PVT core SPA beads (RPNQ0007, GE Healthcare Life Sciences) in a total volume of 40 μl. Several concentrations of each test compound were tested in the assay for IC50 determination. The plates were incubated for one hour at room temperature and counted in a Wallac Trilux counter. Total and non-specific binding were determined using buffer and 1 μM (final concentration) of the high affinity BACE1 reference inhibitor (S)-6-[3-chloro-5-(5-prop-1-ynyl-pyridin-3-yl)-thiophen-2-yl]-2-imino-3,6-dimethyl-tetrahydro-pyrimidin-4-one, respectively. For each test compound, a IC50 value (the concentration mediating 50% inhibition of the specific binding of the radioligand) was determined from concentration-response curve and used to calculate the Ki from the equation Ki=IC50/(1+L/Kd), where L and Kd are the final concentration of the radioligand used in the assay and the dissociation constant of the radioligand, respectively. |
