Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  IMAP FP Assay
Description:  The fluorescence polarization assay for cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases was performed using an IMAP FP kit supplied by Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif. (product #R8139). Assays were performed at room temperature in 384-well microtiter plates with an incubation volume of 20.2 μL. Solutions of test compounds were prepared in DMSO and serially diluted with DMSO to yield 8 μL of each of 10 solutions differing by 3-fold in concentration, at 32 serial dilutions per plate. 100% inhibition is determined using a known PDE9 inhibitor. 0% of inhibition is determined by using DMSO (1% final concentrations). A Labcyte Echo 555 is used to dispense 200 nL from each well of the titration plate to the 384 well assay plate. Rhesus membrane preps were diluted to 4 ng/ml, rat membrane preps diluted to 13 ng/ml, and human PDE9A2 diluted to 1 ng/ml. FAM-labeled cGMP substrate (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) was at a concentration of 100 nM (Km of PDE9 for cGMP is 70-170 nM) in the assay buffer (10 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.2, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.05% NaN3 0.01% Tween-20, and 1 mM DTT).
