| | PDE5 Inhibition Assay |
| Description: | Materials and Methods: PDE5 inhibition was assayed at BPS Bioscience (San Diego, Calif.) using BPS PDE assay kits (BPS Catalog number 60300, enzyme lot 090810). Test compounds were supplied as liquid solutions of 10 mM concentration in DMSO. Sildenafil, used as a standard was dissolved in DMSO. Intermediate dilutions were 10% DMSO in PDE assay buffer and tests at ranges from 0.1 to 100 nM. 0.1 ng of enzyme was used per reaction, and the substrate was 100 nM FAM-cGMP.Assay conditions: A series of dilutions of the test compounds were prepared with 10% DMSO in assay buffer and 5 μl of the dilution was added to a 50 μl reaction so that the final concentration of DMSO is 1% in all of reactions. The enzymatic reactions were conducted at room temperature for 60 minutes in a 50 μl mixture containing PDE assay buffer, 100 nM FAM-cAMP or 100 nM FAM-cGMP, a PDE enzyme, and the test compound. After the enzymatic reaction, 100 μl of a binding solution (1:100 dilution of the binding agent with the binding agent diluent) was added to each reaction and the reaction was performed at room temperature for 60 minutes. Fluorescence intensity was measured at an excitation of 485 nm and an emission of 528 nm using a Tecan Infinite M1000 microplate reader.Data analysis: PDE activity assays were performed in duplicate at each concentration. Fluorescence intensity is converted to fluorescence polarization using the Tecan Magellan6 software. The fluorescence polarization data were analyzed using the computer software, Graphpad Prism. The fluorescence polarization (FPt) in absence of the compound in each data set was defined as 100% activity. In the absence of PDE and the compound, the value of fluorescent polarization (FPb) in each data set was defined as 0% activity. The percent activity in the presence of the compound was calculated according to the following equation: % activity=(FP−FPb)/(FPt−FPb)×100%, where FP=the fluorescence polarization in the presence of the compound. |
