Description: MAO-B Inhibition Assay: Recombinant human MAO-B (0.06 mg/mL; Sigma Aldrich) was used as source of MAO-B enzyme activities. The assay was performed in a similar way as for human SSAO/VAP-1 (Example 5) except, the substrate benzylamine was used at 100 μM. Briefly, in a standard 96 well plate assay 50 μL of purified human SSAO/VAP-1 (0.25 μg/mL) in 0.1 M NaPO4 buffer (pH 7.4) was added into each well. Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO and tested in a Concentration Response Curve (CRC) with 4-9 data points, typically in the micromolar or nanomolar range after incubation with human SSAO/VAP-1 for 30 min at 37 °C. After 30 min incubation, 50 μL of the reaction mixture containing 600 μM benzylamine (Sigma Aldrich), 120 μM Amplex Red (Sigma Aldrich) and 1.5 U/mL horseradish peroxidase (Sigma Aldrich) prepared in 0.1 M NaPO4 buffer (pH 7.4) were added to the corresponding well. The fluorescence unit (RFU) was read every 2.5 min for 30 min at 37 °C. excitation 565 nm and emission 590 (Optima; BMG labtech). The slope of the kinetics for each well was calculated using MARS data analysis software (BMG labtech) and this value was used to deduce the IC50 value (Dotmatics).
