Introduction

Over the last 15 years, a significant number of human diseases such as cancers have been attributed to defects in cellular signaling pathways. This observation has dramatically accelerated efforts towards the development of new therapeutic approaches.

Tyrosine kinases have been shown to play a crucial role in signal transduction pathways and have been implicated as kay players in many „proliferative disorders” including cancer. Inhibitors designed against potential novel kinase targets are in in the focus of the drug discovery today.

Aims

Materials and Methods

Assay was performed in 96-well plate format 1. Substrate Poly-Glu-Tyr (Sigma) was

attached to the bottom of the plates2. Enzyme reaction was performed in the

presence of ATP (Sigma) at 37°C for 30 minutes

3. Enzymes: Recombinant PDGFR was expressed in baculovirus transected Sf9 expression system (ProQinase)

EGFR-GST with recombinant technique 4. Phosphorylated substrate was detected by

HRP-conjugated anti-P-Tyr antibody and OPD

Conclusions

The present ELISA based non-radioactive TK assay offers a reproductable, sensitive and rapid method to measure TK activity and enables large-scale screening of PDGFR and EGFR inhibitors. Based on the success of the initial screening tests form one nested chemical library, further screens form our extended validation library will be performed along with QSAR optimizations to gain preclinical lead candidates.

Results-Summary

Screening

A referenced inhibitors [SU- 6668(oxindol) PDGFR, Grefitinib (ZD 1893) EGFR] was tested in five concentrations (32,8-1,28 µM). The results were expressed as a percentage value of the control (T/C%)

Our aim was to screen large numbers of inhibitory

compounds with an ELISA- based non-radioactive

tyrosine kinase assay. To meet the needs of high

amount enzyme arising in this assay technology,

custom production of the recombinant enzyme was

nessesary. We establised a recombinant expression

system. Mass production of recombinant proteins

will enable scale up in the testing processes with

future potential of full automation.
