| | Cathepsin-D Assay |
| Description: | The following reagents were used in this assay: Na+-Acetate pH 5.0; 1% Brij-35; Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO); Purified human Cathepsin-D (>95% pure); Aspartyl protease peptide substrate AC-Cys(Eu_Chelate)-Gly-Lys-Pro_ile_leu_phe-Phe-Arg-Leu-Lys(QSY7)-ASP-ASP-NH2.As noted above, certain compounds of the invention exhibit good selectivity of BACE-1 over Cathepsin-D. A homogeneous time-resolved FRET assay was used to determine IC50 values of the compounds of the invention as inhibitors of purified human Cathepsin-D. This assay monitors the increase of 620 nm fluorescence that resulted from Cathepsin-D cleavage of an aspartyl protease peptide FRET substrate (AC-Cys(Eu_Chelate)-Gly-Lys-Pro_ile_leu_phe-Phe-Arg-Leu-Lys(QSY7)-ASP-ASP-NH2). This substrate contains an C-terminal QSY7 moiety that serves as a quencher of the N-terminal Europium fluorophore (620 nm Em). In the absence of enzyme activity, 620 nm fluorescence is low in the assay and increased linearly over 1 hour in the presence of uninhibited Cathepsin-D enzyme. Inhibition of Cathespin D cleavage of the Eu-Aspartyl Protease-QSY7 substrate by inhibitors is manifested as a suppression of 620 nm fluorescence. |
