Hippuryl-L-Histidyl-L-Leucine ACE Inhibitor Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hippuryl-L-Histidyl-L-Leucine (HHL, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used
as an enzyme-substrate. A total of 50 μL of the substrate (50 mM HHL in
0.1 M sodium borate buffer containing 0.3 M NaCl at pH 8.3) was added into a 50
μL sample and incubated at 37°C for 5 min. To initiate the
reaction, 50 μL of 0.1 U/mL ACE (Rabbit lung, Sigma-Aldrich) solution was
added, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 5 min. The reaction was
stopped by adding 250 μL 1 M HCl. The resulted hippuric acid (HA) was
extracted with 1.5 mL ethyl acetate and centrifuged at 2,000×g for 5 min.
An aliquot (0.8 mL) of the ethyl acetate layer was transferred to a clean tube
and evaporated at 85°C for 60 min. Distilled water (4 mL) was then added
to dissolve the HA in the tube, and the amount of HA formed was measured by
measuring the optical density at 228 nm (UV-2800, Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan). The
extent of inhibition was calculated as 100% [(B – A) / B] where A
is the optical density in the presence of ACE and ACEI components, and B is the
optical density without the ACEI component.

Quantification of CPT-loaded Micelles by UV-Vis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CPT loading level was measured by UV-vis spectrophotometer (UV-2800, Hitachi, Japan).37 (link) Lyophilized CPT-loaded micelles were re-dissolved in DMF and the concentration was calculated according to a standard curve of pure CPT/DMSO solution. Drug loading content (DLC) and drug loading efficiency (DLE) were determined according to the following formulas:where the weight of drug in feed represents the total amount of CPT added into the system.
The standard curve of CPT concentration-UV absorption: CPT dissolved into DMF to prepare the solution with various predetermined concentrations, the standard curve was obtained by plotted the absorbance of CPT at λ = 365 nm against various predetermined concentrations (R = 0.99982).

In Vitro Determination of ACE-I Activity

The determination of ACE-I activity was performed in vitro based on the method of Chusman and Cheung [24 (link)]. Hippuryl-L-Histidyl-L-Leucine (HHL, Sigma, USA) was used as the enzyme-substrate. A 50 µL of the substrate (50 mM HHL in 0.1 M sodium borate buffer containing 0.3 M NaCl at pH 8.3) was added into 50 µL sample and incubated at 37°C for 5 min. To initiate the reaction, 50 µL of 0.1 U/mL ACE (Sigma, USA) solution was added, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 5 min. The reaction was stopped by adding 250 µL 1 M HCl 1 M. The resulted in hippuric acid (HA) was extracted with 1.5 mL ethyl acetate and centrifuged at 2000× g for 5 min. An aliquot (0.8 mL) of the ethyl acetate layer was transferred to a clean tube and evaporated at 85°C for 60 min. Distilled water (4 mL) was then added to dissolve the HA in the tube, and the amount of HA formed was measured by measuring optical density at 228 nm (UV-2800, Hitachi, JPN) The extent of inhibition was calculated as 100% ([B-A]/B) where A is the optical density in the presence of ACE and ACE-I component, B is the optical density without ACE-I component.

The drug-loading content was measured by an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry (UV-2800, Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan). The Dr.S/RAD001 nanoparticles were dissolved in 20 mL of water and absorbance measured at λ = 279 nm. A calibration curve was established under identical conditions. The drug loading content was calculated using the following formula:

Leu-pNA Assay for LAP Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LAP activity was determined using Leu-pNA (Sigma-Aldrich Japan, Tokyo, Japan) as a substrate. The sample (0.1 mL) and 0.1 mL of the substrate (32 mM) were added to 0.8 mL of a 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 1 mM CaCl 2 solution. The amount of p-nitroaniline released was determined by measuring the absorbance at 405 nm using a spectrophotometer (UV2800, Hitachi Ltd.). The initial velocity was determined from the linear region of the optical density pro le (ε405nm= 10,600 M -1 cm -1 ) (Arima et al. 2006) .

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.
