| Description: | Screening method: Monoamine oxidase MAOA and MAOB activity screeningInstrument: microplate reader Envision (PerkinElmer, USA).MATERIALS: Human recombinant MAOA, purchased from Promega; human recombinant MAOB, purchased from Sigma;The MAOA and MAOB activity assay kit MAO-Glo was purchased from Promega. Principle: This method uses a specific luciferin derivative as a substrate, MAOA or MAOB can catalyze the conversion of substrate to luciferin methyl ester, and the product, luciferin methyl ester can produce fluorescence under the action of luciferase, thus reflecting the activity of MAOA or MAOB by the intensity of the fluorescent signal. Meanwhile, a blank control was set to determine the strength of the enzyme activity. Tranylcypromine (TCP) was employed as a positive inhibitor in the experiment.Sample processing: Samples were dissolved in DMSO, stored at low temperature, and the concentration of DMSO in the final system was controlled within a range that won't affect the activity of the assay.The activity of the sample was tested by primary screening at a single concentration, for example 100 μM. For samples exhibiting activity under certain conditions, for example, the inhibition rate (% Inhibition) being greater than 50, the active dose-dependent relationship, i.e., the IC50 value, was obtained by nonlinearly fitting the sample activity vs the sample concentration, the software used for the calculation was Graphpad Prism 5, the model used for the fit was sigmoidal dose-response (variable slope), and for most inhibitor screening models, the bottom and top of the fitted curve were set to 0 and 100. |
