Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibitory Activity of Exemplary Compounds against Plasma Kallikrein
Description:  Example compounds were evaluated for inhibition of the human activated kallikrein enzyme in two formats of an assay employing a fluorogenic peptide substrate. In one assay format, the concentrations of reagents were as follows: 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 150 mM sodium chloride, 0.1% PEG-400, 0.1% Triton X-100, 500 pM activated kallikrein enzyme, 300 uM Pro-Phe-Arg-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin substrate. Prior to reaction initiation with substrate, enzyme and inhibitors were preincubated for 30 min at RT. After initiation with substrate, reactions were incubated for 10 min at RT and fluorescence emission at 460 nm from 380 nm excitation measured with a microplate reader. In another assay format, the concentrations of reagents were as follows: 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 150 mM sodium chloride, 0.1% PEG-400, 0.1% Triton X-100, 5 pM activated kallikrein enzyme, 300 uM Pro-Phe-Arg-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin substrate. Prior to reaction initiation with substrate, enzyme and inhibitors were preincubated for 30 min at RT. After initiation with substrate, reactions were incubated for 18 h at RT and fluorescence emission at 460 nm from 380 nm excitation measured with a microplate reader.
