High-throughput assays for promiscuous inhibitors.
High-throughput screening (HTS) searches large libraries of chemical compounds for those that can modulate the activity of a particular biological target; it is the dominant technique used in early-stage drug discovery. A key problem in HTS is the prevalence of nonspecific or 'promiscuous' inhibitors. These molecules have peculiar properties, act on unrelated targets and can dominate the result...
متن کاملHigh-throughput screening for the identification of small-molecule inhibitors of the flaviviral protease.
The mosquito-borne dengue virus serotypes 1-4 (DENV1-4) and West Nile virus (WNV) cause serious illnesses worldwide associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, there are about 390 million infections every year leading to ∼500,000 dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases and ∼25,000 deaths, mostly among children. Antiviral therap...
متن کاملIdentification of inhibitors of N5-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide synthetase by high-throughput screening.
The increasing risk of drug-resistant bacterial infections indicates that there is a growing need for new and effective antimicrobial agents. One promising, but unexplored area in antimicrobial drug design is de novo purine biosynthesis. Recent research has shown that de novo purine biosynthesis in microbes is different from that in humans. The differences in the pathways are centered around th...
متن کاملA High Throughput Screening Assay System for the Identification of Small Molecule Inhibitors of gsp
Mis-sense mutations in the α-subunit of the G-protein, Gsα, cause fibrous dysplasia of bone/McCune-Albright syndrome. The biochemical outcome of these mutations is constitutively active Gsα and increased levels of cAMP. The aim of this study was to develop an assay system that would allow the identification of small molecule inhibitors specific for the mutant Gsα protein, the so-called gsp onco...
متن کاملIdentification of selective inhibitors of uncharacterized enzymes by high-throughput screening with fluorescent activity-based probes
High-throughput screening to discover small-molecule modulators of enzymes typically relies on highly tailored substrate assays, which are not available for poorly characterized enzymes. Here we report a general, substrate-free method for identifying inhibitors of uncharacterized enzymes. The assay measures changes in the kinetics of covalent active-site labeling with broad-spectrum, fluorescen...
