The recombinant purified CES2 and CES1 enzymes, and 4-NPA were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich with product IDs E0412, E0162, and N8130, respectively. Hesperetin, naringenin, and 2’, 4’-dihydroxychalcone were purchased form Fisher Scientific (>95% purity). All compounds were dissolved in DMSO at 10mM. In the screening assay, the compounds were diluted in 50mM HEPES and the final compound concentration in the reaction system was adjusted to 50μM. In the IC50 determination assay, selected compounds were diluted in 50mM HEPES to obtain ten final concentrations from 300μM to 0.005μM with 3 fold decrement. The assays were conducted at 300μl total volume in 96-well plates. Reactions consisted of the following: 100μL 50mM HEPES with 20 units of enzyme, 10μL compound solution (various concentrations), 2μL 300mM 4-NAP, and 188μL 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4. The compound and 4-NAP solution were added into the plate first and then the reaction was initiated by the addition of enzyme solution. After 15 minutes incubation at 25°C, absorbance was measured using a microplate reader at 405nm in FLUOstar Omega Microplate Reader. The CES1/CES2 inhibitor compound bis-(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) was used as positive control in all the assays.

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.
