Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  BTK IC50 Enzyme Assay
Description:  The following describes a microfluidic, off-chip mobility shift kinase assay used to measure inherent potency of compounds against BTK enzyme. Compounds described by embodiments of the present invention were assayed using this protocol and the data from the same is recorded in Table 2 within the column labeled: “Time Dependent BTK Enzyme Assay IC50”. 2.5× stocks of full-length human BTK (08-080) from CarnaBio USA, Inc., Natick, MA, 1.6×ATP and appropriate kinKDR peptide substrate (FITC-AHA-EEPLYWSFPAKKK-NH2) were prepared in kinase reaction buffer consisting of 25 mM MgCl2, 0.015% Brij-35 (30%), 100 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, and 10 mM DTT. 5 uL of enzyme buffer and 7.5 uL of ATP/kinKDR peptide substrate mix were added to Matrix (#115304) 384-well, sterile, polypropylene plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Hudson, N.H.) with 125 nL of serially diluted compounds prepared in 100% DMSO, and incubated for 90 min. at 27 C. Following the incubation period, reactions were stopped by adding 60 uL stop buffer consisting of 100 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij-35 (30%), 0.277% Coating Reagent #3 (Caliper Life Sciences, Mountain View, CA), 5% DMSO. Stopped reactions were monitored at −2 PSI, −3000 V/−700 V in a LabChip 3000 plate reader from Caliper Life Sciences, a PerkinElmer Company (Hopkinton, MA), and the activity was measured by off-chip mobility shift assay measuring the charge/mass difference between substrate and product resulting from peptide phosphorilation. IC50 and efficacy were determined by plotting log [Inhibitor] vs. % Activity in GeneData Screener (Basel, Switzerland).
