| Cathepsin G dose-response confirmation |
Description: | Screening Center: Penn Center for Molecular Discovery Center Affiliation: University of Pennsylvania Network: Molecular Library Screening Center Network (MLSCN) Assay Provider: Scott Diamond, University of Pennsylvania Grant number: MH076406-01 Cathepsin G (EC 3.4.21.20) is a chymotrypsin-like serine protease that is secreted from neutrophils. Disregulated cathepsin G activity is implicated in the progression of various chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma and chronic pulmonary obstructive disease. Thus cathepsin G inhibitors represent useful probes to further elucidate the role of this enzyme in inflammation and may provide a starting point for the development of novel therapeutic agents. A high-throughput screen for cathepsin G inhibitors was designed as an end-point assay monitoring the release of the fluorophore aminomethyl coumarin (AMC) upon enzymatic hydrolysis of an AMC-labeled dipeptide. Primary HTS results have been reported previously (AID 581). Compounds identifi |
