| Description: | Akt1 inhibitory activity of compounds of the present invention was quantified employing the Akt1 TR-FRET assay as described in the following paragraphs. His-tagged human recombinant kinase full-length Akt1 expressed in insect cells was purchased form Invitrogen (part number PV 3599). As substrate for the kinase reaction the biotinylated peptide biotin-Ahx-KKLNRTLSFAEPG (C-terminus in amide form) was used which can be purchased e.g. from the company Biosynthan GmbH (Berlin-Buch, Germany).For the assay 50 nl of a 100 fold concentrated solution of the test compound in DMSO was pipetted into a black low volume 384 well microtiter plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), 2 ul of a solution of Akt1 in assay buffer [50 mM TRIS/HCl pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.02% (v/v) Triton X-100 (Sigma)] were added and the mixture was incubated for 15 min at 22 C. to allow pre-binding of the test compounds to the enzyme before the start of the kinase reaction. |
