| Description: | Thrombin. In a 96-well white opaque plate, 80 μl of assay buffer was added to each well. Test compounds were added, and serially diluted as above, to generate a concentration range of approximately 1-100 μM. Human alpha-thrombin (Enzyme Research Labs) was diluted in assay buffer to a final concentration of 12.5 nM. 80 μl of this enzyme solution was added to the assay wells. The enzyme/compound mixtures were incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. Fluorogenic substrate (Boc-Val-Pro-Arg-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin; Sigma) was added to assay wells at a final concentration of 20 μM. The assay plate was spun for 1 minute at 1500 g and then read at 37° C. in a SpectraMax M2 plate reader (λex=380 nm and λem=460 nm). Activity was quantified as the rate of change in fluorescence, which corresponds to the rate of substrate cleavage. IC50 values were determined as the concentration of inhibitor that produced 50% of the rate of change of control wells without any inhibitor. For compounds with activity <1 μM, the assay was repeated with a lower concentration range, typically from 10-1000 nM. |
