Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Activity Assay
Description:  Inhibitory activity of compounds was evaluated by a homogeneous luminescent method, the MAO-Glo Assay (Promega), measuring the monoamine oxidase activity (MAOs) from recombinant source (microsomes from baculovirus infected insect cells, Sigma). Experiments were performed according to the Supplier's procedure, incubating human recombinant MAO-A or MAO-B with a luminogenic substrate, a derivative of beetle luciferin ((4S)-4,5-dihydro-2-(6-hydroxybenzothiazolyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid). MAOs converts this luciferin derivative to methyl ester luciferin and only compounds that interfere with the ability of the enzyme to use the pro-luminescent substrate will cause changes in the resulting luminescent signal.
