Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Kinase Assay
Description:  Table 2: The p38 MAPK IC50 values of selected compounds except IM-32 to IM-44 were determined using the HitHunter p38 MAP kinase binding assay from DiscoveRx Corporation (Fremont, Calif., USA). The p38 MAPK IC50 values of IM-32 to IM-44 and the CK1 IC50 values of selected compounds were determined using LanthaScreen Eu kinase binding assay from Invitrogen (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, Calif., USA). The assays were performed following the manufacturers' protocols in white 384-well plates (Cat. No. 3572; Corning Incorporated, Corning, N.Y., USA). SB203580 was used as the control in all assays. For the HitHunter p38 MAP kinase binding assay the compounds were dissolved in DMSO (5 mM stocks) and diluted to a final concentration of 2% (vol/vol) DMSO for all assays. Recombinant GST-tagged active p38α MAP kinase enzyme (Millipore, Billerica, Mass., USA) was used for the HitHunter p38 MAP kinase binding assay. For the LanthaScreen Eu kinase binding assay the compounds were dissolved in DMSO (5 mM stocks) and diluted to a final concentration of 1% (vol/vol) DMSO for all assays. Each data point was done in triplicate. The assay was run using JANUS Automated Workstation according to the protocol developed using WinPREP software (Perkin Elmer Inc., Waltham, Mass., USA). Tecan Infinite M1000 microplate reader (Tecan Group Ltd., Minnedorf, Switzerland) was used for luminescence measurements (HitHunter p38 MAP kinase binding assay) and fluorescence measurements (LanthaScreen Eu kinase binding assay; ex=340 nm, em=665, 615 nm). All data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 5 software (GraphPad Software Inc.). Inhibition curves and IC50 values were generated by nonlinear regression analysis and data represent meanąSEM.
