| Description: | TABLE X: The IC50 value for test compounds can be determined in a fluorescent based protease assay.The basis for the assay is the cleavage of the substrate 520 MMP FRET substrate XII by human ADAMTS6.The substrate contains sequence Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Tyr-Ala-Nva-Trp-Met-Lys (SEQ ID NO: 7) with attached a fluorescent probe and a quencher. Without ADAMTS6, the emission of the probe is quenched. If the substrate is cleaved by ADAMTS6, the emission of the probe is not quenched anymore. Inhibition of ADAMTS6 activity, will result in a decrease of the signal.To perform the assay, 4 μL of a dilution series of compound in water, starting from 20 μM highest concentration, ⅕ dilution, is added to the wells. 2 ng ADAMTS6 enzyme is diluted in 25 mM Tris pH8.0, 0.05% CHAPS, 2.5 mM CaCl2 in a total volume of 26 μL (final concentration 0.73 nM). The reaction is started by addition of 10 μL of 1 μM 520 MMP FRET Substrate XII (final concentration, diluted in same buffer as described above) and the mixture is incubated at 37° C. for 2 h. The negative control (0% inhibition) is 1% DMSO and the positive control (100% inhibition) is 10 μM Prinomastat in 1% DMSO. After this incubation, cleavage of the substrate is measured using the Envision (Perkin Elmer, exc485/em530). |
