High-throughput screening (HTS), a major component of lead identification, often utilizes fluorescence-based assay technologies. For example, HTS kinase assays are formatted using a variety of fluorescence-based assay technologies including, but not limited to, dissociation enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay (DELFIA®), time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET), and fluorescence polarization (FP). These assays offer tremendous advantages such as a nonradioactive format, ease of automation, and excellent reproducibility. Fluorescence-based assays frequently used for lead identification can also be useful for structure activity relationship (SAR) studies during lead optimization. An important issue when assessing an assay to be used for SAR is the ability of the assay to discriminate high-affinity small molecule inhibitors (pM-nM) from low-affinity inhibitors (µM-mM). The purpose of this study was to utilize HTS-friendly assay formats for SAR by developing TR-FRET, FP, and DELFIA® assays measuring Src kinase activity and to define the theoretical lower limit of small molecule inhibitor detection achievable with these assay formats. The authors show that 2 homogeneous assay formats, TR-FRET and FP, allowed for the development of Src kinase assays with a lower limit of detection of Ki = 0.01nM. This study indicates that assay technologies typically used for HTS can be used during lead optimization by providing quantitative measurements of compound activity critical to driving SAR studies.
