A High-Throughput Fluorescence-Based Assay System for Appetite-Regulating Gene and Drug Screening
The increasing number of people suffering from metabolic syndrome and obesity is becoming a serious problem not only in developed countries, but also in developing countries. However, there are few agents currently approved for the treatment of obesity. Those that are available are mainly appetite suppressants and gastrointestinal fat blockers. We have developed a simple and rapid method for th...
متن کاملOptimization of a Fluorescence-Based Assay for Large-Scale Drug Screening against Babesia and Theileria Parasites
A rapid and accurate assay for evaluating antibabesial drugs on a large scale is required for the discovery of novel chemotherapeutic agents against Babesia parasites. In the current study, we evaluated the usefulness of a fluorescence-based assay for determining the efficacies of antibabesial compounds against bovine and equine hemoparasites in in vitro cultures. Three different hematocrits (H...
متن کاملCell-Based Assays in High-Throughput Screening for Drug Discovery
Drug screening is a long and costly process confronted with low productivity and challenges in using animals, which limit the discovery of new drugs. To improve drug screening efficacy and minimize animal testing, recent efforts have been dedicated to developing cell-based high throughput screening (HTS) platforms that can provide more relevant in vivo biological information than biochemical as...
متن کاملFluorescence detection-based functional assay for high-throughput screening for MraY.
We have developed a novel assay specific to MraY, which catalyzes the first membrane step in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan. This was accomplished by using UDP-MurNAc-N(epsilon)-dansylpentapeptide, a fluorescent derivative of the MraY nucleotide substrate, and a partially purified preparation of MraY solubilized from membranes of an Escherichia coli overproducing strain. ...
متن کاملHigh-throughput fluorescence-based screening assays for tryptophan-catabolizing enzymes.
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) are two structurally different enzymes that have a different tissue distribution and physiological roles, but both catalyze the conversion of tryptophan to N-formylkynurenine (NFK). IDO1 has been clinically validated as a small-molecule drug target for cancer, while preclinical studies indicate that TDO may be a target for ...
