Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  Cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2D6:Recombinant enzymes, 3A4 and 2D6, generated using the ABL yeast expression system were used. For CYP3A4, the enzyme amount was 2 pmol per well, and the substrate (7-benzyloxy-4-(trifluoromethyl) coumarin; BFC) was used at 15 μM. The assay mixture also included K2HPO4 (pH 7.4; conc. 0.1 M) and NADPH (conc. 1 mM). The incubation time was 30 minutes, and the reference inhibitor was A-naphthoflavone. For CYP2D6, the enzyme amount was 2 pmol per well, and the substrate (7-methoxy-4-(aminomethyl)-coumarin; MAMC) was used at 20 μM. The assay mixture also included K2HPO4 (pH 7.4; conc. 0.1 M) and NADPH (conc. 0.06 mM). The incubation time was 35 minutes, and the reference inhibitor was quinidine.Briefly, 0.6 μL of serially diluted compound was added to 75 μL water. 10 μL of diluted compound in water was then added to each assay plate. 20 μL of a K2HPO4, enzyme, and substrate mixture was added. After 10 minutes of room temperature pre-incubation, 10 μL of NADPH was added, and the plates were placed at 37° C. for 30 or 35 minutes depending on the enzyme being tested. After the incubation was complete, 20 μL of 0.1% Tris/ACN was added to the plate. The plate was read on a FluorStar fluorescence plate reader.
