PDE5 Enzyme Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PDE5 enzyme activity was determined using PDE5A1 assay kit (BPS Bioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) based on the PDE5 catalytic ability to hydrolyze dye-labeled cyclic monophosphates, which can further be bound by selective beads and lead to slower rotating and lower polarized light emission. The compounds that inhibited PDE5 enzyme demonstrated affected polarized fluorescence. Following the manufacturer’s protocol, after incubating compounds with PDE5A1 enzyme and FAM-Cyclic-3′, 5′-GMP in buffers for 1 h, the fluorescent polarization was detected and calculated.

Evaluating PDE5A1 Inhibition by Dipyridamole and TM-dipyridamole

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PDE5A1 Assay kit (BPS Biosciences) was used to evaluate phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition of dipyridamole and TM-dipyridamole according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, all test compound stocks solutions (500 mM IBMX; 10 mM dipyridamole; 10 mM TM-dipyridamole) were prepared in 100% DMSO and subsequently diluted to 10x working stock concentrations in 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the PDE assay buffer included in the kit (500 μM IBMX; 30 μM and 100 μM dipyridamole; 30 μM and 100 μM TM-dipyridamole). A final concentration of 1% DMSO was present in each PDE5A1 enzyme inhibition reaction, including the PDE5A1 positive control reaction. Based on preliminary tests, concentrations greater than 1% DMSO negatively-affected the PDE5A1 enzymatic activity (data not shown). The fluorescent polarization of each sample was analyzed using a PerkinElmer EnVision 2105 Multimode Plate Reader equipped with a FITC FP 480 nm excitation filter and emission filters FITC FP P-pol 535 nm and FITC S-pol 535 nm. Milli-polarization values (mP) were calculated with the EnVision Workstation v1.12 software and PDE5A1 enzymatic activity for each reaction was normalized to the enzymatic positive control sample.

Sildenafil citrate (Product No. S-061) and descarbon- sildenafil (Product No. S-0624) were purchased from TLC Pharmaceutical Standards Ltd (Aurora, Ontario, Canada). 1-Hexanesulfonic acid sodium salt (ion-pair chromatography grade), formic acid in acetonitrile (0.1% v/v, LC-MS grade) and deuterated chloroform (CDCl 3 ) (99.8%) for NMR analysis were from FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation (Osaka, Japan). Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Guaranteed Reagent grade) was from Nacalai Tesque Inc (Kyoto, Japan). All other chemicals and solvents were of analytical or HPLC grades. The PDE5A1 Assay Kit was purchased from BPS Bioscience Inc (San Diego, CA, USA).

PDE5A1 Inhibition Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the measurement of IC 50 values, the sildenafil citrate standard and the descarbonsildenafil standard were diluted with DMSO to obtain final concentrations from 0.03 to 1,000 nmol/L. In this experiment, the sildenafil citrate standard was prepared as the reference compound. The assay was performed by using a PDE5A1 Assay kit (BPS Bioscience Inc). All tested solu- tions were 10 times diluted with the PDE assay buffer of the kit. The assay protocol and how to calculate fluorescence polarization data were identical to those described elsewhere 7) , except the following points. After the enzymatic reactions, the reaction time with the binding solution was shortened to 30 min (instead of 60 min). Fluo- rescence polarization was measured at an excitation of 485 nm and an emission of 535 nm using SpectraMax Paradigm (Molecular Devices, LLC, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) instead of 485 and 528 nm, respectively. For all the test solutions, the fluorescence polarization was measured in quadruplicate wells. The fluorescence polarization data and the IC 50 value were analyzed using the computer software, SoftMax Pro (Molecular Devic- es).

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.
