| Description: | To screen for SPR inhibition, a biochemical assay based on LC/MS (and chromogenic) read-out has been developed. The LC/MS assay monitors the product formation (L-biopterin) and the chromogenic assay measures OD at 420 nm.N-methoxyacetyl serotonin was used as a reference compound (positive control). The IC50 measured using the screening conditions was 20-40 nM, which agrees with the literature (Smith et al., Journal of Biological Chemistry, 297:5601, 1992). The exemplary assay protocol uses the following conditions: SPR (6 nM); L-Sepiapterin (50 uM); NADPH (100 uM); Na-Phosphate buffer, pH 6.5 (100 mM); 82 uL assay volume; 60 minutes incubation with compounds (0.5% final concentration in DMSO) at 37° C. in Greiner uClear 384 well plates.The following experimental procedure was applied: (1) Add 2 uL compound (inhibitor) dilutions (20% DMSO) in Greiner uClear 384 well plates. (2) Add 40 uL enzyme/assay buffer. |
