Proteasome activity was evaluated using yeast proteasome (TUM Groll group) in its storage buffer: 20 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.5. The inhibitory potency of the isolated compounds to yeast proteasome was assessed by using the Fluorescence Intensity Assay and Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-AMC as substrate (Enzo Life Sciences, BML-P802-0005). The assay was carried out according to the method previously described [5 (link)]. An IC50 of 0.0366 nM was calculated for ONX-0914 using XLfit. It can generally be stated that the Fluorescence Intensity Assay worked properly, as the control compound ONX-0914, which was run in parallel to the assay, showed the expected results.
