| Description: | PDE7 inhibition was determined by an IMAP TR-FRET assay using PDE7B. The IMAP TR-FRET PDE assay was optimized for concentration of enzyme, FAM-cAMP substrate, reducing agent, DMSO tolerance, and incubation time. First, PDE7 inhibitor compounds in 10 mM DMSO stock were serially diluted in 100% DMSO. Next, into each well of a solid white 1536 well plate (Corning) was dispensed 12.8 pg of N-terminal truncated recombinant human PDE7B enzyme (91-450aa, prep #DBVC-D04614, made in-house by structural biology) in 2.5 μL IMAP BSA reaction buffer (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) containing 1 mM DTT (Sigma Aldrich.) After a brief centrifugation, 30 nL of serially diluted compounds in DMSO were added by transfer from 1 mM stock using a Kalypsys 1536 Pintool. Plates were incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature before dispensing 1.5 μL of 134 nM 5-carboxy fluorescein (FAM)-labeled cAMP (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) for a final concentration of 50 nM. After a brief centrifugation, the plates were incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. The assay was terminated by adding 5 μL IMAP binding reagent/Tb complex (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) to each well. Plates were incubated 1 hour at room temperature and read on a Viewlux multimode plate reader (Perkin Elmer). |
