Functional assays for screening GPCR targets.
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are valuable molecular targets for drug discovery. An important aspect of the early drug discovery process is the design and implementation of high-throughput GPCR functional assays that allow the cost-effective screening of large compound libraries to identify novel drug candidates. Several functional assay kits based on fluorescence and/or chemiluminescence...
متن کاملPharmacological screening and enzymatic assays for apoptosis.
Mitochondria play a central role in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. In response to many pro-apoptotic stimuli, mitochondria undergo an irreversible process called mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (MMP). The detection of MMP in isolated mitochondria is most often based on assays that monitor either the loss of the inner transmembrane potential (DYm; classically with Rhodamine 123), pe...
متن کاملHigh-throughput fluorescence-based screening assays for tryptophan-catabolizing enzymes.
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) are two structurally different enzymes that have a different tissue distribution and physiological roles, but both catalyze the conversion of tryptophan to N-formylkynurenine (NFK). IDO1 has been clinically validated as a small-molecule drug target for cancer, while preclinical studies indicate that TDO may be a target for ...
متن کاملScreening assays for epigenetic targets using native histones as substrates.
In the past years, a lot of attention has been given to the identification and characterization of selective and potent inhibitors of chromatin-modifying enzymes to better understand their specific role in transcriptional regulation. As aberrant histone methylation is involved in different pathological processes, the search for methyltransferase and demethylase inhibitors has emerged as a cruci...
متن کاملCell-based assays and instrumentation for screening ion-channel targets.
Ion channels are an important class of drug targets. They comprise the molecular basis for essential physiological functions including fluid secretion, electrolyte balance, bioenergetics and membrane excitability. High-throughput screening for ion-channel function requires sensitive, simple assays and instrumentation that will report ion channel activity in living cells. This article will revie...
