tkE/IC₅₀ELECT

Quantitate compound potency against any TKscan^SM functional cell-based assay. Agonist half maximal effective concentrations (EC₅₀s) and antagonist half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC₅₀s) are calculated from duplicate 10-point dose-response curves. Measurements are made under optimized conditions to generate consistent and reproducible data that reliably reflects the drug's potency.

tkE/IC₅₀ELECT may be used as an ideal follow-up study tool to quantify the potency of compound-kinase target interactions identified in primary screens, to supplement existing data, or support lead optimization and SAR activity.

How it Works

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases - Ideal for Small Molecule and Antibody Discovery

Unlike biochemical assays that commonly use a truncated version of the receptor, our cell-based kinase assays utilize wild-type, full length proteins that allow all steps in receptor activation to be monitored. This whole cell assay platform is ideal for identifying novel receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, allosteric modulators or antibody therapeutics.

A serious of commercially available anti-receptor antibodies (neutralizing antibodies) were tested with cells expressing the ErbB1 receptor and dose dependent inhibition was observed (left panel). Cells expressing TrkA, TrkB, or TrkC were used to identify, screen or profile small molecule inhibitors (right panel).

Data Analysis & Interpretation

What does the term EC50 mean?

The term half maximal effective concentration (EC50) refers to the concentration of a drug or biologic which induces a response halfway between the baseline and the maximum. Therefore, the EC50 of a compound or biologic represents the concentration where 50% of it’s maximal effect can be observed. It is commonly used as a measure of the drug’s potency.

What does an IC50 measure?

The term half maximal inhibitory concentration (EC50) is a measure of the effectiveness of a compound to inhibit a given biological response. Therefore, the IC50 of a compound or biologic represents the half maximal (50%) inhibitory concentration and is commonly used as a measure of antagonist drug’s potency.

How are the EC50/IC50s calculated?

For each compound/GPCR target interaction, dose response curves are generated using 10 concentrations of agonist or antagonist (10-point curve). The results are reported as EC50/IC50 which derived using the Hill equation:
