Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Test of Small Molecule Compounds for Inhibiting the Activity of C-RAF and B-RAF Kinases
Description:  1. Preparation of test compounds: according to the molecular weight of the compounds, an appropriate volume of DMSO was directly added to dissolve the test compounds. For storing the compound, the concentration of DMSO is 100%, and the final concentration of DMSO in the experimental system is 1%. The compounds were 3-fold serially diluted with DMSO to obtain a total of 8 dilutions, with a maximum concentration of 1000 nM and a minimum concentration of 0.46 nM.2. Preparation of the sorafenib positive control: sorafenib, a selective inhibitor of BRAF and RAF1, was used as the positive control of this experiment, and the dilution method thereof was the same as that of the above test compounds.3. Test Conditions:Enzyme: B-RAF: 0.1 ng/l (the final concentration in the reaction system); C-RAF: 0.1 ng/μl (the final concentration in the reaction system)Substrate and ATP: inactive MEKI: 2 ng/μl (the final concentration in the reaction system); ATP: 35 μM (the final concentration in the reaction system)HPE: the reaction without enzyme (1% DMSO)ZPE: the reaction with enzyme but without compound (1% DMSO)4. Test procedure:a) 1 ul of 10-fold diluted compound or 10% DMSO was added to a 384-well assay plate,b) 4 ul enzyme solution or assay buffer was added to the wells of the assay plate,c) the plate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute to homogeneous,d) 5 ul of ATP-substrate mixture was added to the wells of the assay plate,e) the plate was shaked for mixing for 2 minutes,f) the plate was incubated at 30° C. for 1 hour,g) 10 ul of ADP-Glo reagent was added to the wells of the assay plate, and the plate was incubated for 40 minutes at 27° C.,h) 20 ul of kinase assay solution was added to the wells of the plate, and the plate was incubated for 30 minutes at 27° C.,i) the chemiluminescent signal was read with Envision.5. Analysis of the results: calculation of the compound inhibition rate:Inhibition rate (%)=(control measurement without compound−sample measurement)/(control measurement without compound−control measurement without enzyme)*100%The IC50 values of the positive control compound and the test compounds were calculated using the Prism software according to the variable slope of the curve.
