| Description: | PDE1A, PDE1B and PDE1C assays were performed as follows: the assays were performed in 60 μL samples containing a fixed amount of the PDE1 enzyme (sufficient to convert 20-25% of the cyclic nucleotide substrate), a buffer (50 mM HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid) pH 7.6; 10 mM MgCl2; 0.02% Tween20), 0.1 mg/ml BSA (bovine serum albumin), 15 nM tritium labelled cAMP and varying amounts of inhibitors. Reactions were initiated by addition of the cyclic nucleotide substrate, and reactions were allowed to proceed for 1 hr at room temperature before being terminated through mixing with 20 μL (0.2 mg) yttrium silicate SPA beads (PerkinElmer). The beads were allowed to settle for 1 hour in the dark before the plates were counted in a Wallac 1450 Microbeta counter. The measured signals were converted to activity relative to an uninhibited control (100%) and IC50 values were calculated using XIFit (model 205, IDBS). |
