| Description: | MMP-1: 180 μL (100 ng) of human MMP-1 (Calbiochem #444208) was mixed with 20 μL of 10 mM p-amino phenyl mercuric acetate (APMA), and activated by reacting at 37° C. for 1 hour. 20 μL of the resultant enzyme solution was diluted to 90 μL with an assay buffer A. The mixture was added to 90 μL of a 20 μM fluorescent substrate (Dnp-Pro-Cha(β-cyclohexylalanyl)-Gly-Cys(Me)-His-Ala-Lys(Nma)-NH2) (SEQ ID NO: 2) prepared with an assay buffer B, and reacted at 37° C. for 5 hours. Enzyme activity was then determined by measuring with a fluorescence intensity meter (Labsystems, Fluoroskan Ascent) at an excitation wavelength of 355 nm and a measurement wavelength of 460 nm.From the enzyme activity in the presence or the absence of the test substance, the inhibition rate was determined, and the 50% inhibitiory concentration (IC50) of the test substance was calculated. |
