| Description: | The inhibitory activity of compounds was assessed by a fluorescence quench assay of BACE1 activity using commercially available substrate HiLyte Fluor488-Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-Asp-Ala-Glu-Phe-Lys-(QXL 520)-OH (SEQ ID NO:1) (AnaSpec, San Jose, Calif.) and truncated human beta-secretase, BACE1 (amino acids 1-454) fused to a myc-his tag and secreted from HEK293/BACEetc. cells into OptiMEM (Invitrogen). The substrate was dissolved at 1 mg/ml in DMSO.The assay was performed in the presence of OptiMEM (supernatant collected over 24 h and cleared from cellular debris by centrifugation) containing the ectodomain of BACE1, 25 ul water containing the desired 2-fold concentration of test compound and 2% DMSO, 1 uM substrate peptide, 20 mM NaOAc, pH 4.4, and 0.04% Triton-X100 in a total assay volume of 50 ul in a 384 well plate. In general, 25 ul of compound dilution were added to the plate followed by the addition of 10 ul of BACE1 containing OptiMEM. |
