In Vitro MAFP inhibits iPLA2, in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 5 μM after a 5 min preincubation at 40°C in P388D1 cells. cPLA, is a phospholipid hydrolase using the hydroxyl of serine-228 residue as its catalytic nucleophile[1]. MAFP is also an inhibitor of anandamide amidase and as a ligand for the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. MAFP demonstrates selectivity towards anandamide amidase for which it is approximately 3000 and 30000-fold more potent than it is towards chymotrypsin and trypsin, respectively. MAFP displaces [3H]CP-55940 binding to the CB1 cannabinoid receptor with an IC50 of 20 nM vs 40 nM for anandamide[2].
Kinase Assay MAFP is dissolved and diluted in DMSO. To investigate the reversibility of iPLA 2 inhibition by MAFP, the P388D1 iPLA 2 is first concentrated approximately 10-fold using a Centricon-10 concentrator from Amicon. The concentrated iPLA 2 (20 μL) is then preincubated with either 80 μM MAFP in DMSO or DMSO alone (2 μL) for 5 min at 40°C. A 2 μL aliquot is removed and subsequently diluted 1500-fold into 3 mL of assay mixture containing 100 μM DPPC (200000 cpm per 50 μL assay mixture), 400 μM Triton X-100, 100 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 5 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT and 0.8 mM ATP. At the indicated time points, a 50 μL aliquot is removed and the remaining enzyme activity is quantified[1].
Cell Assay Inhibition of anandamide amidase in cell culture is measured using approximately 1x106 Nl8TG2 intact neuroblastoma cells. Experimental cells are preincubated for 20 min in 1.5 mL medium, consisting of Fl2/DMEM with penicillin, streptomycin, gentamicin, 10% bovine calf serum, plus MAFP (1, 5, 10, 20 nM). Control cells contained no inhibitor. Arachidonoyl is then added and the incubation continued for I hr. The amount of [3H]anandamide in the cells is quantified by liquid scintillation counting of the silica scraped from the appropriate areas of the TLC plate identified by exposure to X-ray film[2].
