Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Enzyme PI3K Assay
Description:  The Kinase-Glo luminescent kinase assay kit (from Promega) was used to measure kinase activity. In this assay, amount of ATP remaining in solution following a kinase reaction is measured. The effect of compounds on PI3Kδ inhibition was carried out by adding 2.29 μg/ml of recombinant PI3K δ enzyme (Proteros, Germany) to reaction mixture containing assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 50 mM NaCl, 0.05% CHAPS) supplemented with 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM DTT, 60 μM Phosphatidyl inositol bisphosphate (PIP2) and 10 μM ATP in the absence or presence of different concentrations of the compounds in a final volume of 15 μl/well, in a 384 well plate. The reaction mixture was incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. At the end of incubation period the equal volume of Kinase-Glo plus (Promega, V3772), was added per well and the luminescence was measured after incubating for 10 minutes at room temperature in dark. Results were calculated by measuring the luminescence units of test samples to blanks containing no enzyme.In certain embodiments, the compounds showed IC50 of less than 1000 nM, in another embodiment, the IC50 values range from about 100 nM to 500 nM, and in yet another embodiment, it is even less than 30 nM for PI3Kδ as shown in Table 3 and 4.The compounds of the present invention were tested for their selectivity for PI3Kδ over PI3Kα, PI3Kβ and PI3Kγ following the above assay using specific recombinant enzymes (Proteros, Germany) for each kinase. Assay condition of kinase assay (PI3Kα, PI3Kβ, PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ) was as follows. Enzyme: 2.29 μg/mL; ATP: 10 μM; PIP2 substrate: 60 μM and Reaction Time: 2 hours.
