| Description: | The proteolytic enzyme, Dipeptidyle Peptidase IV (DppIV) was monitored in vitro by the substrate Gly-Pro 4-methoxy-β-naphthylamide while in the presence of compound 7. 20 ul of 1.3 mM DppIV was pipetted into twenty-four micro centrifuge tubes containing various concentrations of compound 7 in a total volume of 100 uL. The samples were thoroughly vortexed and centrifuged at 5,000 RPM for 30 seconds. The micro centrifuge tube were then placed in a 37° C. water bath and incubated for 30 minutes. After incubation, 0.625 uM of substrate was added and the volume was adjusted to 130 uM with incubation buffer. Samples were thoroughly mixed and centrifuged at 5,000 RPM for 30 seconds before placed in a 37° C. water bath for an additional 30 minutes. The reaction was terminated by adding 1 ml of 100 mM Citrate buffer pH 4.0 and vortexing thoroughly for 1 minute. The excitation and emission spectrum of each sample was measured at 340 nm and 425 nm respectfully on a Fluoromax-II Fluorometer. |
