| Description: | Compounds are also assessed for BACE1 and Cathepsin D activity using an FP Assay. Compounds to be assessed (e.g. compounds as described in the above examples) are serially diluted 1:3 with DMSO and each concentration point is transferred to a 96 well plate, 6 uL per well, followed by addition of 194 uL of assay buffer (100 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.5 with 0.001% Tween-20). A 10 uL compound sample from this plate is transferred to a well of a 384 well plate and combined with 10 uL per well of BACE1 enzyme (0.3 nM in assay buffer) or Cathepsin D enzyme (1.8 nM in assay buffer) and the plate is incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Substrate (0.45 uM for BACE1 or 0.45 nM for Cathepsin D in assay buffer) is added, 10 uL per well, and the plate is incubated at 37° C., 3 hours for BACE1 or 2 hours for Cathepsin D. The reaction is stopped by adding 30 uL per well of cold 1.5 uM Streptavidin Immunopure and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature and the fluorescent signal determined, excitation 485-20 and Emission 530-25, and the value as a function of compound concentration is used to determine the IC50. |
