Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  A testing platform for TrkAWT kinase activity was established based on Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) assay, and the activities of the compounds were tested using the platform. The compounds were subjected to five-fold gradient dilution for eight times with 100% DMSO with a starting concentration of 200 μM (9 concentrations in total). 4 μL of diluted sample for each concentration was added to 96 μL of a reaction buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM NaVO3, 0.001% Tween-20, 0.01% BSA and 1 mM DTT) and mixed homogeneously to be used as a 4* compound. The reaction buffer was used to formulate 2* TrkA kinase (the final concentration thereof was 1 nM) and 4* substrate (ATP+TK peptide) (TK peptide, HTRF KinEASE -TK, was purchased from Cisbio, and the final concentration of TK peptide was 1 μM, and the final concentration of ATP was 40 μM). 2.5 μL of the 4* compound was added to a 384-well plate (OptiPlate-384, purchased from PerkinElmer), and then 5 μL of the 2* TrkA kinase were added, and mixed homogeneously by centrifugation. Then 2.5 μL of the 4* substrate mixture was added to initiate the reaction (the total reaction volume was 10 L). The 384-well plate was placed in an incubator to react for 60 min at 23° C. Then the reaction was terminated by adding 5 μL of Eu3+ cryptate-labeled anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (HTRF KinEASE -TK, purchased from Cisbio), and L of Streptavidin-XL-665 (HTRF KinEASE -TK, purchased from Cisbio). After incubated for 1 hr in the incubator, the fluorescence values were read out on Envision (purchased from PerkinElmer). The excitation wavelength was 320 nm, and the emission wavelengths for detection were 665 nm and 620 nm. The enzymatic activity was represented by a ratio of the two readout at the two emission wavelengths.
