| Description: | All enzymatic reactions were conducted in duplicate at room temperature for 17 hours in a 50 μl mixture containing HDAC assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 0.05% Tween 20, 5 μg BSA), an HDAC substrate, an HDAC enzyme, and a test compound. Compound dilution was prepared ten-fold higher than the final concentration of the compounds with 10% DMSO in HDAC assay buffer and 5 μl of the dilution was added to a 50 μl reaction so that the final concentration of DMSO is 1% in all of reactions. After enzymatic reactions, 50 μl of HDAC Developer was added to each well and the plate was incubated at room temperature for an additional 20 minutes. Fluorescence intensity was measured at an excitation of 360 nm and an emission of 460 nm using a Tecan Infinite M1000 or Biotek Synergy microplate reader.The fluorescent intensity data were analyzed using the computer software, Graphpad Prism. In the absence of the compound, the fluorescent intensity (Ft) in each data set was defined as 100% activity. In the absence of HDAC, the fluorescent intensity (Fb) in each data set was defined as 0% activity. The percent activity in the presence of each compound was calculated according to the following equation: % activity=(F−Fb)/(Ft−Fb), where F=the fluorescent intensity in the presence of the compound. |
