Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibitory Activity Test Against SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease
Description:  Preparation of Assay Buffer:In this test, an assay buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris-Hl, 100 mM sodium chloride, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM DTT, and 0.01% BSA is used. For compounds with an IC50 value of 10 nM or less, an assay buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM DTT, and 0.01% BSA is used.Diluting and Dispensing of Test Sample:The test sample is preliminarily diluted with DMSO to an appropriate concentration, and a 2- to 5-fold serial dilution series is prepared and then dispensed into a 384-well plate.Addition of Enzyme and Substrate and Enzymatic Reaction:To the prepared compound plate, 8 μM of substrate and 6 or 0.6 nM of enzyme solution are added and incubation is performed for 3 to 5 hours at room temperature. Thereafter, a reaction stop solution (0.067 μM Internal Standard, 0.1% formic acid, 10 or 25% acetonitrile) is added to stop the enzymatic reaction.Measurement of Reaction Product:The plate in which the reaction has been completed is measured using RapidFire System 360 and mass spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, Inc., 6550 iFunnel Q-TOF), or Rapid Fire System 365 and mass spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, Inc., 6495C Triple Quadrupole). As the mobile phase at the time of measurement, A solution (75% isopropanol, 15% acetonitrile, 5 mM ammonium formate) and B solution (0.01% trifluoroacetic acid, 0.09% formic acid) are used.Reaction products detected by the mass spectrometer are calculated using RapidFire Integrator or a program capable of performing equivalent analysis and are taken as Product area value. Furthermore, Internal Standard detected at the same time is also calculated and taken as Internal Standard area value.
