Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF)
Description:  In vitro inhibition of 11β-HSD1 by test compounds is determined with HTRF (Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence) technology (cisbio international, France) detecting cortisol generated from cortisterone by human liver microsomes. Briefly, compounds are incubated for 1 hour at 37° C. in Tris buffer (20 mM tris, 5 mM EDTA, pH 6.0) containing NADPH (20011M) and cortisone (80 nM). Cortisol generated in the reaction is then detected with a competitive immunoassay, involving two HTRF conjugates: cortisol linked to XL665 and anti-cortisol antibody labeled with Europium cryptate. The incubation period for detection reaction is typically 2 hours. The amount of cortisol is determined by reading the time-resolved fluorescence of the wells (Ex 320/75 nm; Em 615/8.5 nm and 665/7.5 nm). The ratio of the two emission signals is then calculated (Em665*10000/Em615). Each assay contains incubations with vehicle controls instead of compound as controls for non-inhibited cortisol generation (100% CTL; high values) and incubations with carbenoxolone as controls for fully inhibited enzyme and cortisol background (0% CTL; low values). Each assay also contains a calibration curve with cortisol to transform the fluorescent data into cortisol concentrations.
