| Description: | The activity of the compound against mTOR was examined by measuring the incorporation of 33P from [γ-33P]-ATP into 4EBP1. His-tagged, recombinant human 4EBP1 was expressed in E. coli, purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) resins, and stored at −80° C. Phosphorylation of 4EBP1 by mTOR was assayed in the presence or absence of the compound and performed in a final volume of 25 μl reaction buffer containing 300 ng 4EBP1, 50 ng recombinant mTOR (Invitrogen), 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% Polysorbate 20, 10 mM MnCl2, 2.5 mM DTT, 10 μM ATP, and 0.5 μCi [γ-33P]-ATP (PerkinElmer) for 30 min at 30° C. The reactions were terminated by adding 3% phosphoric acid. The 33P labeled 4EBP1 was transferred onto UniFilter-96 GF/B plate (PerkinElmer) and quantified by Top Count Microplate Scintillation Counter (PerkinElmer). For primary screening of kinase activity inhibition, each test compound was evaluated at 10 M in duplicate. The results were the average of duplicate measurements and expressed as percentage inhibition (compound treatment versus DMSO control). The IC50 values of the compounds were determined after carrying out assays at eight serially diluted concentrations of each compound in duplicate. The results were analyzed using linear regression software (GraphPad Prism 5; GraphPad Software Inc.). |
