| Description: | Compounds were tested in a biochemical screening assay using recombinant sEH purified from Sf9 insect cells and an artificial substrate, (3-phenyl-oxiranyl)-acetic acid cyano-(6-methoxy-naphtalen-2-yl)-methyl ester, Phome. The biochemical assay was performed in analogy to a fluorometric described in the literature (P. D. Jones et al., Anal. Biochem. 2005, 343, 66-75). The assay principle bases on the sEH-catalyzed hydrolysis of an artificial α-cyano-ester substrate. O-deacetylation liberates a cyanohydrin intermediate that rapidly decomposes to the highly fluorescent 6-methoxy-2-naphtaldehyde. To discriminate sample autofluorescence, the assay was carried out as a kinetic measurement with two time points. The first measurement is performed immediately before addition of the substrate and the 15 second measurement is done after completion of the assay. The assay format is either in 96- or in 384-well format.Details of the assay using a 96-well plate format are described below. 40 μl recombinant sEH enzyme and 5 μl test compound are pre-incubated for 15 minutes at 30° C. Following pre-incubation, the reaction is started by addition of 5 μl Phome. The assay mixture containing 2 nM final sEH concentration, test compound ranging in a concentration from 0.0001-10 μM and 5 μM Phome is incubated for 60 minutes at 30° C. |
