| Description: | Stock solution of substrate (Mca-Lys-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Dpa-Ala-Arg-NH2) was prepared in DMSO at a concentration of 6 mM. Assays were performed in an assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 10 uM ZnSO4, 5 mM CaCl2, 0.005% Brij-35). The final DMSO concentration in all assays was 1.0%. The used substrate concentration was 3.33 uM. The assays were carried out at 37° C. The fluorescence changes, resulting from the substrate cleavage, were detected using excitation at 340 nm and emission wavelength of 405 nm using a Wallac 1420 Microplate Reader. The reaction mixtures were preincubated with the inhibitors for 30 minutes. The reactions were started by the addition of MMP substrate, and the fluorescence intensity changes were measured after 60 minutes. The obtained fluorescence values were normalized and % inhibition values calculated. Dose response curves were determined from 6 concentration points using three fold dilution steps, each concentration point was determined in dupllicate. IC50 values were calculated from the dose response curves. FIGS. 1-4 show the dose response curves of Compound 1 and ilomastat on on MMP1, -2, -9, -13 activities respectively. |
