Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Phosphodiersterase Evaluation Assay
Description:  IMAP TR-FRET Phosphodiersterase Evaluation Assay Kit (Molecular Device) was used for the measurement. Ten μL of a diluted test compound having each concentration and 5 μL of the enzyme PDE10 (BPA Bioscience) that had been diluted to 2 ng/mL with 1×IMAP Reaction Buffer (prepared with 5×included with the kit, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH=7.2, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.05% NaN3, and 0.1% BSA) containing 0.1% BSA were added to a 384-well plate (Corning). The obtained mixture was then pre-incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes. Thereafter, 5 μL of cAMP substrate solution which was included with the kit and diluted to 400 nM with 1×IMAP Reaction Buffer containing 0.1% BSA, was added to the reaction solution, and the obtained mixture was reacted at room temperature for 60 minutes. Thereafter, 60 μL of an IMAP TR-FRET Binding solution included with the kit was further added to the reaction solution, and the obtained mixture was then left for 3 hours or more. Subsequently, using ARVO SX (PerkinElmer), the fluorescent intensity of Terbium (Emission=490 nm) and TR-FRET (Emission=520 nm) in the reaction solution were measured at an excitation wavelength of 340 nm, so as to calculate the amount of the generated 5′-AMP. The count of a well to which a solvent had been added instead of the test compound was set at 0%, and the count of a well to which the enzyme PDE10 had not been added was set at 100%. Thus, the inhibitory activity of each test compound was calculated.
