Pde4b

Manufactured by BPS Biosciences
Sourced in United States

PDE4B is a recombinant human phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) enzyme. PDE4B hydrolyzes the second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) to 5'-AMP, thereby regulating cellular cAMP levels.

Inhibitory Activity of Brilacidin on PDE4

Example 11

To examine the inhibitory activity of brilacidin on PDE4 phosphodiesterase, inhibition assays of PDE4 were performed using brilacidin. The PDE-Glo phosphodiesterase assay (Promega, Madison, Wis.) was performed using 8 ng of PDE4B3, 1 μM cAMP substrate and brilacidin. The compounds and PDE4B (BPS Biosciences, San Diego, Calif.) were mixed and pre-incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. Substrate was added and the reaction was incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. Data are presented as luminescence units (RLU). Brilacidin inhibited PDE4 in a dose dependent manner with an IC50 in the 3 μM range (FIG. 10, Panels A and B, semi-logarithmic and linear axes respectively). This is the first demonstration of a HDP mimetic inhibiting a PDE.

Enzyme Inhibition Assay for PDE Enzymes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The enzyme inhibition assay was performed against human PDE enzymes (PDE1A, PDE3A, PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C, PDE4D, and PDE7A; BPS Biosciences, San Diego, CA, United States) according to the manufacturer’s instructions (LANCE Ultra cAMP assay kit; Perkin Elmer, United States). In each well, 5 μl of 3 nM cAMP, 2.5 μl of PDE enzyme (0.1 ng/well), and 2.5 μl of inhibitor solution were added, and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. After incubation, 5 μL each of Eu-cAMP and ULight-anti-cAMP detection reagent supplemented with 1 mM of IBMX were added. The reaction mixture was incubated at 37°C for 1 h. After incubation, emission signals were collected at 665 nm using EnVision Multilable Reader (Perkin Elmer, United States).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
