| Description: | A concentration of a drug that reduces the observed activity of an enzyme by 50%. An IC50 is not a true affinity constant and the specific value determined can vary depending on the particular assay used. Nonetheless the rank order of IC50 for a set of compounds will typically be similar from one assay to another. (The true affinity constant for an inhibitor binding to an enzyme, Ki, can of course also be used for the same purposes as described herein for IC50). With respect to the kinases that are targeted by the compounds disclosed herein, kinase activity can be assayed, without limitation, as consumption of ATP or as incorporation of phosphate into a substrate. For example, the assay used in Example 76 assesses consumption of ATP based on luminescent detection of ADP. As an alternate example, the assay used in Example 78 assesses incorporation of phosphate based on the radiologic detection of 33P-labeled artificial substrates. Myriad other kinase assays are known in the art many of which are commercially available either as a kit or a service and one of skill in the art will recognize their particular usefulness for generating IC50 data. |
