| Description: | The H-PGDS catalyzed conjugation of GSH and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) was used as the biochemical assay for enzyme inhibition. Reactions were performed in 96 well plate format, and product formation was followed at A340 nm over a 10 min interval at 25° C. using a POWERWAVE XS microplate scanning spectrophotometer (Bio-Tek Instruments, Winooski, Vt., USA). Reactions were performed in 0.1 M Tris HCl, pH 8.0 containing 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CDNB, 2 mM GSH, 2.5 ng/μ1 purified H-PGDS and 10% (v/v) ethanol in a 200 μl reaction volume. IC50 values were calculated from rates of conjugation activity determined at eight concentration points bracketing the IC50, where compound solubility allowed, and were corrected for background activity at the same solvent concentrations. All compounds were made up in 100% DMSO and diluted with 0.1 M Tris HCl, pH 8.0 with 2 mM MgCl2. |
