| | Measurement of IC50 of Eckol Derivatives Against Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase |
| Description: | Enzyme activities were determined at room temperature. Ultraviolet absorbance was measured spectrophotometrically by a modification of a previously described method (Ellmans et al., Biochemical Pharmacology, 88-95, 1961). To each cuvette was added DTNB (900 μL of 5.55 mM DTNB in 50-mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4) followed by the addition of substrate (25 μL of a buffer of substrate of varying concentration). The enzymatic reaction was initiated at 25° C. by the addition of enzyme (75 μL of acetylcholinesterase or butyrylcholinesterase, appropriately diluted in 50 mM, pH 7.4, potassium phosphate buffer to give 0.005 unit), and absorbance change was monitored at 412 nm for 60 s. The slope of the absorbance change is the initial rate of an enzyme reaction. Effect of inhibition for each sample was calculated as inhibition (%)=100 (ST/CT)×100 where CT is the initial rate for a control and ST is the initial rate of a sample. |
