Problems solved by technology

However, because of the use of radioactive substances, the operation is cumbersome, and the pollution of radioactive substances needs to be controlled, and 14 C-labeled HMG-CoA and mevalonate are expensive, and the screening cost is high, which brings difficulties to the popularization and application of this method
Traditional HMG-CoA reductase activity detection spectrophotometry (Ness GC, Spindler CD, Moffler MH. Purification of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase from rat liver. Arch Biochem Biophys.1979; 197: 493-9) The principle is: the consumption of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in the detection reaction reflects the enzyme activity, but its specificity is not high, and the background (background) reaction is obvious
In order to reduce the background reaction, it is necessary to improve the purity of HMG-CoA reductase through a series of subsequent purifications, but it brings problems such as many steps and low enzyme yield, so the application of this method is seldom
At present, there is no method of HMG-CoA reductase at home and abroad by optimizing multiple steps in the spectrophotometric method (such as preparation of soluble HMG-CoA reductase, pH value of the reaction system, enzyme protein amount, substrate concentration, pre-incubation time and reaction time, etc.) Determination of activity, not to mention the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor screening system established based on this method

Abstract

The invention discloses a modified spectrophotometry for detecting activity of HMG-CoA reducase and applications thereof. The detecting method comprises the following steps: a. preparing liver microsome by centrifuging fresh liver organics; b. carrying out weight drop, homogenate, dilution and centrifugation on the liver microsome, then obtaining a supernatant, and obtaining the reducase source containing dissolvable HMG-CoA; c. detecting the protein content of HMG-CoA reducase source, and diluting the HMG-CoA reducase source to have the known concentration; and d. adding the HMG-CoA reducase source to the optimized reaction system, and detecting the OD340 value and calculating the enzyme activity. The detecting system for HMG-CoA reducase inhibitor is established on the basis of the detecting method and is used for calculating the enzyme activity inhibition rate and half-inhibition concentration (IC50), and can be used for screening hypolipidemic drugs. The modified spectrophotometry has the advantages of system optimization, high safety, low price, batch filtration, credible conclusion and the like, can effectively screen the HMG-CoA reducase activity inhibitor, and provides a simple and quick method for developing the hypolipidemic drugs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical technology, in particular to an improved spectrophotometric method for measuring the activity of HMG-CoA reductase, and also relates to the application of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor detection system established based on the method in the screening of blood lipid-lowering drugs application. Background technique [0002] It is known that mevalonate can eventually generate cholesterol through a series of reactions. High cholesterol can induce atherosclerosis, leading to hypertension, coronary heart disease, thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases. Drugs that effectively inhibit cholesterol synthesis can reduce the occurrence of these diseases. 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzymeA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzymeA, HMG-CoA) reductase is the rate-limiting enzyme for mevalonate to synthesize cholesterol through a series of reactions, and its activity can be detected in protein Synthesi...
