| | Inhibition of Human P-LAP (hP-LAP) Assay |
| Description: | HEK293 cells forced to transiently express hP-LAP (J Biol Chem 1996; 271: 56-61) were prepared by lipofection, homogenized, and then subjected to ultracentrifugation at 100,000×g for 30 minutes. Microsomes containing hP-LAP were thereby prepared. The microsomes (with a total protein content of 0.5 to 1.5 μg/well) were mixed with a solvent (DMSO; final concentration: 0.1%) or with each test compound (common ratio: 3; maximum concentration: 10 μM). AVP was then added to the solution into a final concentration of 25 μM, and the resulting solution was allowed to react for one hour at 37° C. An aqueous TFA solution was then added to the solution (final concentration: 1%) to stop the enzymatic reaction. Residual AVP was then determined by mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Based on the results, IC50 values (nM), i.e. concentrations required for 50% inhibition of decrease in AVP level in the solvent control group, of the individual test compounds were calculated by logistic regression to evaluate inhibition of human P-LAP (hP-LAP) activity. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 and indicate that the example compounds effectively inhibit AVP degradation by hP-LAP. |
