Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Human AMCase Activity Assay
Description:  An enzymatic assay with recombinant human AMCase was used in order to establish inhibitory activity of the compounds (Boot et al., 2001, JBC: 276). The assay was run in the 96-well plate format, each reaction in the total volume of 100 μL. 4-Methylumbelliferyl B-D-N,N′-diacetylchitobioside hydrate was used as a substrate for the enzyme. Upon hydrolysis by AMCase, the substrate releases 4-methylumbelliferyl (4MU) that, when ionized in basic pH, emits fluorescence at 460 nm.Briefly, 40 μL of a substrate was added to each well, followed by 10 μL of compound dilution and 50 μL of hAMCase recombinant enzyme solution. The reaction was carried out in citrate buffer, pH 5.2, in the dark, at 37° C. for 60 minutes with shaking. After that time the reaction was stopped by adding 195 μL of Stop Buffer (pH 10.5) to each well. The fluorescence of the reaction product was measured in Perkin Elmer Envision fluorescent plate reader at an excitation wavelength of 355 nm. The IC50 values were calculated using GraphPad Prism.
