| Description: | Akt1 was prepared and assays of inhibitory activity of the compound according to the present invention against Akt1 kinase activity in vitro were conducted according to the method described in Biochem. J., vol. 385, pp. 399-408, 2005 and Cancer Res., vol. 68, pp. 2366-2374, 2008. In the preparation of Akt1 protein, human Akt1 tagged with the middle T antigen was expressed in an insect cell Sf9, Akt1 was prepared through affinity purification and activation by PDK1, and the resultant was stored at −80° C. until the inhibition assays of the compounds. In the inhibition assay of the compounds, Akt1 and the compound according to the present invention were subjected to pre-incubation at 25° C. for 120 minutes in a reaction buffer (15 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 0.01% Tween-20, 2 mM DTT). Subsequently, biotinylated Crosstide (biotin-KGSGSGRPRTSSFAEG, Millipore), MgCl2, and ATP were added as substrates at the final concentration of 500 nM, 10 mM, and 150 μM, respectively, and the reaction was allowed to proceed at 25° C. for 60 minutes. EDTA was added to the final concentration of 40 mM to terminate the reaction, a detection liquid containing the Eu-anti-phospho-Crosstide antibody (PerkinElmer) and SureLight APC-SA (PerkinElmer) at the final concentration of 0.5 nM and 62.5 nM, respectively was added, and the reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 2 hours. In the end, the fluorescence levels irradiated with an excitation light of 337 nm were assayed at two different wavelength levels (i.e., 620 nm and 665 nm) using PI-HERAstar FS (BMG LABTECH) or PHERAstar (BMG LABTECH). |
