Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  The degree of inhibition activity for PTP1B was investigated by using 2 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) as a substrate to measure the dephosphorylation degree. First, PTP1B diluted with distilled water was reacted with 2 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate {p-NPP, 0.1 M NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM citrate pH 6.0, and 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT)} and Compound 1 at various concentrations at 30° C. for 30 minutes, and then the reaction was terminated with a 1 N-sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. The absorbance of the samples thus prepared was measured to confirm the inhibition degree (IC50: The half maximal inhibitory concentration) for PTP1B activity according to the concentration of Compound 1.
