| Description: | The conditions for measuring inhibitory activity of compounds against LSD1 activity were determined with reference to a document available from the website of PerkinElmer (U-TRF #38) and a patent of GlaxoSmithKline (WO2012135113).To measure the inhibitory activity, first, the Example compound was serially diluted in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Sequentially, the serially diluted solution of the Example compound in DMSO (final concentration of DMSO: 5%) and human LSD1 protein (Abcam, ab80379) were added to a reaction buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 50 mM KCl, 2 mM CHAPS, 1 mM DTT, 0.02% BSA). The mixture was preincubated at 25° C. for 30 minutes. Thereafter, a H3K4 (Mel)-biotin-labeled peptide (Anaspec #64355) (final concentration: 200 nM) was added thereto and reacted for 60 minutes. Tranylcypromine (final concentration: 3 mM) was then added thereto to terminate the reaction. Thereafter, a detection solution containing an Eu-labeled anti-H3K4 antibody (PerkinElmer, TRF0404) and Streptavidin Alexa Fluor 647 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, S21374) was added thereto, and the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Finally, the intensity of fluorescence under the excitation light with a wavelength of 337 nm was measured with a PHERAstar FS (BMG Labtech) at two wavelengths: 620 nm and 665 nm. The demethylation level was calculated from the ratio of the fluorescence intensity at the two wavelengths, and the compound concentration at which demethylation was inhibited by 50% was defined as IC50 (nM). |
