• Example 79 In vitro determination of sEH inhibition activity
• the following fluorescent assay was used for determination of the sEH inhibition activity (IC 50 ), with the substrate and comparative control compound (TPPU) indicated below.
• Substrate cyano(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methyl 2-(3-phenyloxiran-2-yl)acetate (PHOME; from Cayman Chemical, item number 10009134; CAS 1028430-42-3); cf. N.M. Wolf et al., Anal. Biochem. 2006, vol. 355, pp. 71-80.
• TPPU N-[ 1 -(1 -Oxopropyl)-4-piperidinyl]-/V-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]urea.
• Protocol In a black 96-well plate (Greiner Bio-One, item number 655900), fill the background wells with 90 mI_ and the positive control and inhibitor wells with 85 mI_ of assay buffer. Add 5 mI_ of DMSO to background and positive control wells, and then add 5 mI_ of inhibitor solution in inhibitor wells. Add 5 mI_ of the solution of hsEH to the positive control and inhibitor wells and stir the mixture. Prepare a 1/21 dilution of the solution of PHOME with assay buffer according to final volume required, and then add 105 mI_ of each well. Shake carefully the plate for 10 seconds and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature.
• Tables 1 and 2 human sEH inhibition activity (IC50, nM) of selected compounds (l) a
• A means that IC50 is lower than 10 nM
• B means that IC50 is at least 10 nM but less than 50 nM
• C means that IC50 is at least 50 nM but less than 100 nM
• D means that IC50 is at least 100 nM but less than 1000nM.
