| | IDH2 Inhibitory Activity |
| Description: | The inhibitory activity of a compound against IDH2 (R172K, 40-end) was determined by the decrease of a helper factor NADPH. The test compound was pre-incubated with an enzyme and NADPH, and then a reaction was initiated by the addition of a-KG, and performed for 120 minutes under a linear condition. Then, the reaction was terminated by the addition of diaphorase (lipoamide dehydrogenase) and the corresponding substrate resazurin. Diaphorase terminated the IDH2m reaction by decreasing the available helper factor NADPH, which oxidized NADPH to NADP, and reduced resazurin to highly fluorescent resorufin. The amount of remaining helper factor NADPH after a specific reaction time was quantified via an easily detectable fluorophore.Specifically, 2.5 μl of a 3-fold gradient diluted test compound was added to a 384-well plate, and then 5 μl of a reaction buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, PH7.5; 150 mM NaCl; 10 mM MgC12; 10 mM MnCl2; 0.4 mg/ml BSA and 2 mM DTT) containing 80 nM IDH2 (R172K, 40-end) and 40 μM NADPH was added. Then, the resulting test mixture was incubated for 120 minutes at a temperature of 23° C., and then 2.5 μl of the reaction buffer containing 4 mM α-KG was added to initiate the reaction. After incubating for 120 minutes at room temperature, 5 μl of a termination mixture (0.4 U/ml diaphorase and 40 μM resazurin) prepared with the reaction buffer was added to convert resazurin to resorufin to determine the remaining NADPH. After incubating for 10 minutes at a temperature of 23° C., a fluorescence value was determined through Flexstation 3 at Ex535/Em595. |
