摘要
A technique has been developed to rapidly screen enzyme inhibitor candidates from complex mixtures, such as those created by combinatorial synthesis, Inhibitor libraries are screened by using immobilized enzyme technologies and electrospray ionization ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. The library mixture is first sprayed into the mass spectrometer, and compounds are identified. The library is subsequently incubated with the immobilized enzyme of interest under the correct conditions (buffer, pH, temperature) by using an excess of enzyme to ensure a surplus of sites for ligand binding. The immobilized enzyme/inhibitor mixture is centrifuged, and an aliquot of supernatant is again analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Potential inhibitors are quickly identified by comparison of the spectra before and after incubation with the immobilized enzyme. Non-inhibitors show no change in ion intensity after incubation, whereas weak inhibitors exhibit a visible decrease in ion abundance. Once inhibitor candidates have been identified, the library is reinjected into the mass spectrometer, and tandem mass spectrometry is used to determine the structure of the inhibitor candidates as needed. This method has been successfully demonstrated by identifying inhibitors of the enzymes pepsin and glutathione S-transferase from a 19- and 17-component library, respectively. It is further shown that the immobilized enzyme can be recycled and reused for continuous screening,of additional new libraries without adding additional enzyme.
