Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  All compounds were tested for inhibition of SIRT1 and SIRT2 using human recombinant enzymes available in the Fluor de Lys fluorescence-based assay kit (BIOMOL, AK555, AK556). All other required reagents were provided in the kit which was stored at −78° C. Before use, small aliquots of each enzyme (2-3 μL) were prepared, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −78° C. Fresh dilutions of compounds were prepared in DMSO and further diluted in assay buffer. NAD+ (12.5 ΞL at 4 mM) and Fluor de Lys SIRT1 or SIRT2 (12.5 μL at 100 μM) in assay buffer were added to a white 96 well plate, followed by compound (10 μL) and lastly enzyme (15 μL, 0.07 U/μL or SIRT1 and 0.3 U/μL for SIRT2). After incubation for 1 h at 37° C. a developer solution (50 μL) was added to each reaction. The developer solution contained 38 μL buffer, 10 μL developer and 2 μL nicotinamide (50 mM) per reaction. The plate was then incubated for 45 min at rt and then read using a Spectra Max Gemini fluorimeter with an excitation wavelength of 355 nm and an emission wavelength of 460 nm.
