Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Indoleamine-2,3-Dioxygenase 1 Inhibitory Activity
Description:  Experimental method: IDO-1 can oxidatively cleave the indole ring of tryptophan to form N-formylkynurenine. Referring to the method in the literature (Eddy W. Yue, et al. J. Med. Chem. 2009, 52, 7364-7367), 20 nM IDO-1, 2 mM D-tryptophan, 20 mM ascorbic acid, 3.5M methyl blue and 0.2 mg/mL antioxidant enzyme were sequentially added to 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer at room temperature. Due to the formation of N-formylkynurenine, the reaction rate was recorded by the increasing absorbance of the solution at 321 nm. IC50 values were calculated using Prism GraphPad software.
