| | Factor XIa Enzyme Inhibition Assay |
| Description: | The ability of compounds of the present invention to inhibit Factor XIa was evaluated by determining the concentration of inhibitor, which resulted in a 50% reduction in enzyme activity (IC50) using purified enzyme. Potential inhibitors of Factor XIa were evaluated using the following assay. PyroGlu-Pro-Arg-7-methylaminocourin (AMC), available from CPC Scientific, Inc., is based on the substrate pyro-Glu-Pro-Arg-pNA (S-2366), available from Diapharma Group, Inc. (Columbus, Ohio), wherein the p-nitroanaline group is replaced with 7-methylaminocoumarin (AMC). The final concentration of the substrate in the assay was 50 μM, and the final concentration of the enzyme was 0.25 nM. Inhibitors were tested by serial dilution over an appropriate range to yield a dose response curve for determination of the inhibitors' IC50 value. The assay mixture was read every minute for 30 minutes in order to generate progress curves. The plates were read in a Spectramax m5 Multimode Plate Reader (Molecular Devices LLC, Sunnyvale, Calif.). |
