| | Determination of the Ki for Plasma Kallikrein |
| Description: | Plasma kallikrein inhibitory activity in vitro was determined using standard published methods (e.g. Johansen et al., Int. J. Tiss. Reac. 1986, 8, 185; Shori et al., Biochem. Pharmacol., 1992, 43, 1209; Sturzebecher et al., Biol. Chem. Hoppe-Seyler, 1992, 373, 1025). Human plasma kallikrein (Protogen) was incubated at 25° C. with 10 concentrations of the test compound and 8 concentrations of the fluorogenic substrate H-DPro-Phe-Arg-AFC spanning a range of at least ×Km to 5×Km. Residual enzyme activity (initial rate of reaction) was determined by measuring the change in fluorescence at 410 nm. The Ki value for the test compound was determined using the mixed-model inhibition equation (based on Equation 3.2 in: RA Copeland, Evaluation of Enzyme Inhibitors in Drug Discovery, Wiley 2005) in GraphPad Prism. The mixed model equation includes competitive, uncompetitive and noncompetitive inhibition as special cases and the parameter of Alpha to indicate mechanism of inhibition. |
