Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is the major enzyme catalyzing the isomerization of prostaglandin (PG) H2 to PGE2. Here we report the development of a robust and practical automated assay in a 384-well format for room temperature screening of mPGES-1 inhibitors with high precision and low reagent consumption. The assay should enable precise structure-activity relationship development. It uses acetonitrile as solvent for PGH2, FeCl2/citrate as stop reagent, and a short reaction time. Combined with high-precision liquid transfer and extensive mixing after addition of reactants, these properties let the assay reach Z′ > 0.7 and high reproducibility of inhibitor IC50 values. Thorough investigation of the quality of mixing in all liquid transfer steps proved crucial for reaching high-precision performance. Abbreviations: mPGES-1 (microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1); FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer); HTRF (homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence); PGH2 (prostaglandin H2); PGE2 (prostaglandin E2); SAR (structure-activity relationship); COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2); GSH (glutathione); ALP (automated labware positioner)
