摘要:
In one aspect, the present invention provides methods of determining whether an agent is more like a partial agonist of a target molecule than a full agonist of the same target molecule. In another aspect, the present invention provides methods to select a candidate compound that may reduce blood plasma glucose concentration in a mammal. Populations of genes are provided that are useful in the practice of the present invention.

摘要:
One aspect of the present invention relates to methods of identifying cortisone response signature gene sets and methods of using the identified gene sets to identify compounds that modulate HSD1 activity. In some embodiments, methods are provided to use cortisone response gene sets to estimate the HSD1 activity. Another aspect of the present inventive relates to methods for identification of off-target signature gene sets that can be used to estimate HSD1 compound induced off-target activity and methods for classification of compounds that modulate HSD1 activity. Another aspect of the present invention relates to cell lines that over-expresses HSD1 and methods of use thereof. Additional embodiments of the of the invention are described in the specification provided herein. The contents of this ABSTRACT are not intended to in anyway limit the scope of the invention claimed herein.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for screening for one or more chemical agents that modulate the enzymatic activity of an L-2-hydroxy acid oxidase. The methods comprise the steps of (a) contacting an L-2-hydroxy acid oxidase, in a solution in vitro, with one or more chemical agents in the presence of a substrate that is capable of being oxidized by the L-2-hydroxy acid oxidase; (b) measuring the enzymatic activity of the L-2-hydroxy acid oxidase in the presence of the chemical agent to identify one or more candidate chemical agents that modulate L-2-hydroxy acid oxidase activity in vitro; and (c) administering the one or more identified candidate chemical agents to a test animal and measuring one or more physiological parameters.
