Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Assays
Description:  Compound IC50 values are determined in a hENPP2 (UniProtKB/SwissProt Sequence ref Q13822) biochemical assay using LPC as substrate.5 μL of a dilution series of compound, starting from 20 μM highest concentration, 1/5 dilution, is added to the wells. hENPP2 is used at a final concentration of 1 μg/mL or 3 μg/mL (it will be appreciated by the skilled person that the potency read out is independent of the enzyme concentration). The enzyme is diluted in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5, 500 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.1% fatty acid free BSA in a total volume of 10 μL. the reaction is started by the addition of 10 μL of 150 μM LPC (palmitoyl 16:0) diluted in the same buffer as described above and the mixture is incubated at 37° C. for 30 min. The reaction is terminated and choline quantified by the addition of a 25 μL of a mixture containing 0.6 U/mL of choline oxidase, 0.6 U/mL of peroxydase, 1.8 mM TOOS, 1.2 mM amino-antipyrine, 20 mM EGTA (stop-developer solution) diluted in the buffer described above. Luminescence is read on the Envision after an incubation of 30 min at room temperature (Excitation 555 nm, excitation light=70%).
