Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Enzyme Assay
Description:  Enzyme assays for inhibitor screening employed CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 enzyme enriched microsomes and were run at the Km of the respective substrates. Products of the enzyme reactions, aldosterone for CYP11B2 or cortisol for CYP11B1, were measured by LC-MS. Assays were run under conditions of less than 20% substrate turnover. Inhibitor IC50s were generated by determining the product formation in the absence or presence of inhibitor at various concentrations. In the absence of the test compound, the product formed (Pt) in each data set was defined as 100% activity. In the absence of enzyme, the product formed (Pb) in each data set was defined as 0% activity.
