Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a powerful separation technique offering quick and efficient analyses in various fields of bioanalytical chemistry. It is characterized by many well-known advantages, but one, which is perhaps the most important for this application field, is somewhat overlooked. It is the possibility to perform chemical and biochemical reactions at the nL scale inside the separation capillary. There are two basic formats applicable for this purpose, heterogeneous and homogeneous. In the former, one reactant is immobilized onto a particle or monolithic support or directly on the capillary wall, and the other is injected. In the latter, the reactant mixing inside a capillary is based on electromigration or diffusion. One of the diffusion-based methodologies, termed Transverse Diffusion of Laminar Flow Profiles, is the subject of this review. Since most studies utilizing in-capillary reactions in CE focus on enzymes, which are being continuously and exhaustively reviewed, this review covers the atypical applications of this methodology, but still in the bioanalytical field. As can be seen from the demonstrated applications, they are not limited to reactions, but can also be utilized for other biochemical systems.

Abstract
Desalting of biosamples is crucial for analytical techniques intolerant to abundant salts. However, there is no simple tool to monitor the desalting of low-volume biosamples so far. Here we developed a handheld capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (hC4D) as a miniaturized device to measure the conductivity of 75 μL biosamples. Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) tubing was selected as the sample reservoir for sample loading via a pipette. Another pipetting of air pushed the sample solution out of the tubing to recollect the sample. Owing to the low sample consumption and easy sample recollection, hC4D is advantageous for testing expensive biosamples, such as viruses and cells. In addition, the whole process of sample injection, conductivity measurement, recollection, and calibration of conductivity can be completed within 1 min. To verify the feasibility of hC4D, we monitored the desalting progress of gel filtration (GF) of 200 μL blood samples, ultrafiltration (UF) of 300 μL virus samples, and dialysis of 7 mL cell samples. Three rounds of GF and UF completely removed the salts but led to poor sample recovery. In contrast, low concentrations of residual salts remained and better recovery was achieved after two rounds of GF and UF. We further utilized the hC4D to monitor the dialysis and tuned the salt concentration in the cell sample, such that we maintained the viability of cells in a low conductivity environment. These results indicated that hC4D is a promising tool for optimizing the desalting procedure of low-volume biosamples.

Anal Biochem 2022; 655:114856. [PMID: 35964734 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2022.114856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Tyrosinase catalyzes the oxidation of l-tyrosine in two stages to produce l-dopa and l-dopaquinone stepwise, and l-dopaquinone is subsequently converted to dopachrome. Most of the conventional analyses subjected only one-step reaction from l-tyrosine to l-dopa or from l-dopa to l-dopaquinone. In this study, kinetic analyses of two-steps oxidation of l-tyrosine with tyrosinase were made by capillary electrophoresis/dynamic frontal analysis (CE/DFA). When l-dopa was introduced into a capillary as a sample plug in a CE/DFA format, the enzymatic oxidation continuously occurred during the electrophoresis, and the product l-dopaquinone was subsequently converted to dopachrome which was detected as a plateau signal. A Michaelis-Menten constant of the second-step kinetic reaction, Km,Do, was determined as 0.45 ± 0.03 mmol L-1. In the analysis of the first-step kinetic reaction from l-tyrosine to l-dopa, l-dopa was not resolved by CE/DFA because both l-tyrosine and l-dopa are electrically neutral. The l-dopa formed and co-migrated at the l-tyrosine zone was calibrated beforehand with the final product of dopachrome detected as a plateau signal. Constantly formed l-dopa was successfully detected as a plateau signal of dopachrome, and a Michaelis-Menten constant of Km,Ty was also determined as 0.061 ± 0.009 mmol L-1 by the CE/DFA. CE/DFA is applicable to two-steps enzymatic reactions.

Abstract
The search for novel pancreatic lipase (PL) inhibitors has gained increasing attention in recent years. For the first time, a dual detection capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based homogeneous lipase assay was developed employing both the offline and online reaction modes. The hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl butyrate (4-NPB) catalyzed by PL into 4-nitrophenol and butyrate was monitored by spectrophotometric and conductimetric detection, respectively. The assays presented several advantages such as economy in consumption (few tens of nanoliters for online assays to few tens of microliters for offline assays), no modification of lipase, rapidity (<10 min) and versatility. Tris/MOPS (10 mM, pH 6.6) was used as the background electrolyte and the incubation buffer for enzymatic reactions. We confirmed that in the conditions of the study (small substrate 4-NPB, 37 °C, pH 6.6), the PL was active even in the absence of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicles, generally used to mimic the lipid-water interface. This was confirmed by the maximum velocity (Vmax) and the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) values that were the same order of magnitude in the absence and presence of DPPC. The developed method was used to screen crude aqueous plant extracts and purified compounds. We were able to identify the promising PL inhibition of hawthorn leaf herbal infusions at 1 mg mL-1 (37%) and PL activation by fresh and dry hawthorn flowers (∼24%). Additionally, two triterpenoids purified from extracts of oakwood were identified for the first time as potent PL inhibitors demonstrating 51 and 58% inhibition at 1 mg mL-1, respectively.

Abstract
Kinetic reactions of the transphosphorylation with creatine kinase (CK) were individually investigated between creatine (Cr) and creatine phosphate (CrP) by pressure-assisted capillary electrophoresis/dynamic frontal analysis (pCE/DFA). The transphosphorylations are reversible between Cr and CrP, and reverse reactions inevitably accompany in general batch analyses. In pCE/DFA, the kinetic reaction proceeds in a separation capillary and the product is continuously resolved from the substrate zone. Therefore, the formation rate is kept constant at the substrate zone without the reverse reaction, and the product is detected as a plateau signal. This study demonstrates the direct and individual analyses of both the forward and the backward kinetic reactions with CK by pCE/DFA. A plateau signal was detected in the pCE/DFA with ADP or ATP as one of the products on either the forward or the backward reactions. The Michaelis-Menten constants of Km,ATP (from Cr to CrP) and Km,ADP (from CrP to Cr) were successfully determined through the plateau signal. Determined values of Km,ATP and Km,ADP by pCE/DFA were smaller than the ones obtained by the pre-capillary batch analyses. The results agree with the fact that the reverse reaction is excluded in the analysis of the kinetic reactions. The proposed pCE/DFA is useful on individual analyses of both forward and backward kinetic reactions without any interference from the reverse reaction.

Abstract
An enzymatic hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate with carboxylesterase was analyzed by capillary electrophoresis/dynamic frontal analysis (CE/DFA). A plateau signal was expected with the anionic product of p-nitrophenol by the CE/DFA applying in-capillary reaction and the continuous CE resolution of the product from the substrate zone. However, the plateau height was not sufficient, and/or the plateau signal fluctuated and drifted. Therefore, a pressure assist was utilized in the CE/DFA to detect the product zone fast and to average the fluctuated plateau signal by mixing in a laminar flow. The plateau signal became relatively flat and its height was developed by the pressure-assisted capillary electrophoresis/dynamic frontal analysis (pCE/DFA). The plateau height was used for the Michaelis-Menten analysis, and a Michaelis-Menten constant was determined as KM = 0.83 mmol L-1. An enzyme inhibition was also examined with bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate by adding it in the separation buffer. The height of the plateau signal decreased by the inhibition, and a 50% inhibitory concentration was determined as IC50 = 0.79 μmol L-1. The values of KM and IC50 obtained in this study agreed well with the reported values. Since the proposed pCE/DFA includes electrophoretic migration of the substrate zone in a capillary, it is also noticed that the deactivation of the enzyme by ethanol on the preparation of the substrate solution can be avoided, as well as the exclusion of the inhibition by the product.

Abstract
The study of enzyme kinetics is of high significance in understanding metabolic networks in living cells and using enzymes in industrial applications. To gain insight into the catalytic mechanisms of enzymes, it is necessary to screen an enormous number of reaction conditions, a process that is typically laborious, time-consuming, and costly when using conventional measurement techniques. In recent times, droplet-based microfluidic systems have proved themselves to be of great utility in large-scale biological experimentation, since they consume a minimal sample, operate at high analytical throughput, are characterized by efficient mass and heat transfer, and offer high levels of integration and automation. The primary goal of this review is the introduction of novel microfluidic tools and detection methods for use in high-throughput and sensitive analysis of enzyme kinetics. The first part of this review focuses on introducing basic concepts of enzyme kinetics and describing most common microfluidic approaches, with a particular focus on segmented flow. Herein, the key advantages include accurate control over the flow behavior, efficient mass and heat transfer, multiplexing, and high-level integration with detection modalities. The second part describes the current state-of-the-art platforms for high-throughput and sensitive analysis of enzyme kinetics. In addition to our categorization of recent advances in measuring enzyme kinetics, we have endeavored to critically assess the limitations of each of these detection approaches and propose strategies to improve measurements in droplet-based microfluidics.

Abstract
A new method for the measurement of aprotinin potency by CZE-UV detector was established for the first time. The on-line mixing of substrate, trypsin and aprotinin using at-inlet technology was realized by the established method. Enzymatic reaction, separation, and detection of substrate and product can be performed simultaneously online. The aprotinin potency can be measured within 4 min. The response surface methodology was used to optimize the incubation conditions of trypsin and substrate, and the optimized conditions were obtained under 17.39 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.6, 1.40 min of incubation time. The repeatability of proposed method was evaluated in three different systems of capillary zone electrophoresis: (i) only substrate; (ii) trypsin and substrate; (iii) aprotinin, trypsin and substrate, and the RSDs of migration times and peak areas of substrate were less than 2.7 and 3.1%, respectively. The RSDs of migration times and peak areas of product were less than 2.1 and 3.0%, respectively. A formula was also developed to calculate the aprotinin potency in this method. In a word, the established CZE-UV method was convenient, fast, and environmentally friendly for the measurement of aprotinin potency.

Abstract
Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) is a separation technique that combines a biologically-related binding agent with the separating power and efficiency of capillary electrophoresis. This review will examine several classes of binding agents that have been used in ACE and applications that have been described for the resulting methods in clinical or pharmaceutical analysis. Binding agents that will be considered are antibodies, aptamers, lectins, serum proteins, carbohydrates, and enzymes. This review will also describe the various formats in which each type of binding agent has been used in CE, including both homogeneous and heterogeneous methods. Specific areas of applications that will be considered are CE-based immunoassays, glycoprotein/glycan separations, chiral separations, and biointeraction studies. The general principles and formats of ACE for each of these applications will be examined, along with the potential advantages or limitations of these methods.

Abstract
We propose a new capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based open-tubular immobilized enzyme microreactor (OT-IMER) and its application in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) assays. The IMER is fabricated at the capillary inlet (reactor length of ∼1 cm) with the inner surface modified by a micropore-structured layer (thickness of ∼220 nm, pore size of ∼15-20 nm). The use of IMER accomplishes the enzymatic reaction and separation/detection of the products in the same capillary within 3 min. The feasibility of the proposed method is evaluated via online analysis of the activity and inhibition of AChE enzymes. Such method exhibits good reproducibility with relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 4% for 20 runs, and the enzyme remains over 82% of the initial activity after usage of 7 days. The IMERs are successfully applied to detect the organophosphorus pesticide, paraoxon, in three types of vegetable juice samples with a limit of detection of as low as 61 ng mL-1. Results show that the spiked samples are in the range of 89.6-105.9% with RSD less than 2.7%, thereby indicating its satisfactory level of accurate and reliable analysis of real samples by using the proposed method. Our study indicates that, with combination of advantages of both porous-layer capillary and CE OT-IMER, the proposed method is capable to enhance enzymatic reactions and to achieve rapid analysis with simple instrumentation and operation, thus would pave the way for extensive application of CE-based IMERs in a variety of bioanalysis.

Capillary electrophoresis with dual detection UV/C 4D for monitoring myrosinase-mediated hydrolysis of thiol glucosinolate designed for gold nanoparticle conjugation. Anal Chim Acta 2019; 1085:117-125. [PMID: 31522725 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2019.07.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2019] [Revised: 07/18/2019] [Accepted: 07/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) with dual UV and conductivity detection was used for the first time to monitor the functionalization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), a process catalyzed by an enzyme, myrosinase (Myr). A thiol glucosinolate (GL-SH) designed by our group was used as substrate. Hydrolysis of free and immobilized GL-SH was characterized using off-line and on-line CE-based enzymatic assays. The developed approaches were validated using sinigrin, a well-referenced substrate of Myr. Michaelis-Menten constant of the synthetized GL-SH was comparable to sinigrin, showing that they both have similar affinity towards Myr. It was demonstrated that transverse diffusion of laminar flow profiles was well adapted for in-capillary Mixing of nanoparticles (AuNPs) with proteins (Myr) provided that the incubation time is inferior to 20 min. Only low reaction volume (nL to few μL) and short analysis time (<5 min) were required. The electrophoretic conditions were optimized in order to evaluate and to confirm the AuNPs stability before and after functionalization by CE/UV based on surface plasmon resonance band red-shifting. The hydrolysis of the functionalized AuNPs was subsequently evaluated using the developed CE-C4D/UV approach. Repeatabilities of enzymatic assays, of electrophoretic analyses and of batch-to-batch functionalized AuNPs were excellent.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis provides a rapid, cost-effective platform for enzyme and substrate characterization. The high resolution achievable by capillary electrophoresis enables the analysis of substrates and products that are indistinguishable by spectroscopic techniques alone, while the small volume requirement enables analysis of enzymes or substrates in limited supply. Furthermore, the compatibility of capillary electrophoresis with various detectors makes it suitable for KM determinations ranging from nanomolar to millimolar concentrations. Capillary electrophoresis fundamentals are discussed with an emphasis on the separation mechanisms relevant to evaluate sets of substrate and product that are charged, neutral, and even chiral. The basic principles of Michaelis-Menten determinations are reviewed and the process of translating capillary electrophoresis electropherograms into a Michaelis-Menten curve is outlined. The conditions that must be optimized in order to couple off-line and on-line enzyme reactions with capillary electrophoresis separations, such as incubation time, buffer pH and ionic strength, and temperature, are examined to provide insight into how the techniques can be best utilized. The application of capillary electrophoresis to quantify enzyme inhibition, in the form of KI or IC50 is detailed. The concept and implementation of the immobilized enzyme reactor is described as a means to increase enzyme stability and reusability, as well as a powerful tool for screening enzyme substrates and inhibitors. Emerging techniques focused on applying capillary electrophoresis as a rapid assay to obtain structural identification or sequence information about a substrate and in-line digestions of peptides and proteins coupled to mass spectrometry analyses are highlighted.

Abstract
Elastase, collagenase, hyaluronidase and tyrosinase, are very interesting enzymes due to their direct implication in skin aging and as therapeutic hits. Different techniques can be used to study these enzymes and to evaluate the influence of effectors on their kinetics. Nowadays, analytical techniques have become frequently used tools for miniaturizing enzyme assays. The main intention of this article is to review chromatographic and electrophoretic tools that study the four enzymes above mentioned. More specifically, the use of high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis and their derivative techniques for monitoring these enzymes will be investigated. The advantages and limitations of these assays will also be discussed. The original use of microscale thermophoresis and thin layer chromatography in this domain will also be covered.

Abstract
A new method for screening tyrosinase inhibitors from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) was successfully developed by capillary electrophoresis with reliable online immobilized enzyme microreactor (IMER). In addition, molecular docking study has been used for supporting inhibition interaction between enzyme and inhibitors. The IMER of tyrosinase was constructed at the outlet of the capillary by using glutaraldehyde as cross-linker. The parameters including enzyme reaction, separation of the substrate and product, and the performance of immobilized tyrosinase were investigated systematically. Because of using short-end injection procedure, the product and substrate were effectively separated within 2 min. The immobilized tyrosinase could remain 80% active for 30 days at 4°C. The Michaelis-Menten constant of tyrosinase was determined as 1.78 mM. Kojic acid, a known tyrosinase inhibitor, was used as a model compound for the validation of the inhibitors screening method. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration of kojic acid was 5.55 μM. The method was successfully applied for screening tyrosinase inhibitors from 15 compounds of TCM. Four compounds including quercetin, kaempferol, bavachinin, and bakuchiol were found having inhibitory potentials. The results obtained in this work were supported by molecular docking study.

Abstract
In this paper, we design a microreactor based on electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA) with capillary electrophoresis (CE) for screening HIV-1 inhibitors that bind to the N-terminal heptad repeat (NHR, N36) region. Initially, a test sample plug is loaded into a capillary filled with buffer solution followed by N36 peptide solution, and the two solutions simultaneously mix by diffusion. Then, voltage is applied, and the sample molecules pass through the N36 peptide zone. The active compounds combine with N36, leading to a loss in the peak height of the active compound. More than 100 traditional Chinese medicine extracts (TCME) were screened, and an extract of Pheretima aspergillum (E. Perrier) (L5) was identified as having potent inhibitory activity. The results showed that L5 could significantly inhibit the HIV-1JR-FL pseudotyped virus infection; the 50% effective concentration (EC50) of L5 was approximately 32.1±1.2μg/mL, and the 50% cytotoxicity concentration (CC50) value of L5 was 146.9±4.4μg/mL, suggesting that L5 had low in vitro cytotoxicity on U87-CD4-CCR5 cells. The new method is simple and rapid, is free of antibodies, and does not require tedious processes.

Abstract
The hyperphosphorylation of tau protein is associated with the development of the neuronal pathology of Alzheimer's disease. As most conventional methods study only particular phosphorylation sites of tau, it is necessary to develop a simple and reliable assay to determine the phosphorylation of tau at multiple sites. Capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based enzymatic assays are not yet used to monitor tau phosphorylation. The present work aims to develop CE-based assays to evaluate tau phosphorylation by the glycogen synthase kinase 3-β (GSK3β). A novel pre-capillary CE assay was first developed. An in-capillary CE-based enzymatic assay was also used since this approach is known to be time- and cost- effective. The enzymatic reaction was monitored by quantifying the product adenosine 5'- diphosphate (ADP). The influence of two classes of glycosaminoglycan (GAG), namely heparin and heparan sulfate, on the phosphorylation reaction was also assessed. Results obtained by both CE approaches were comparable and in excellent agreement with those reported in the literature using conventional radiometric and immunoblotting methods. In fact, CE results confirmed the inductory effect of the sulfated sugars heparin and heparan sulfate on tau hyperphosphorylation, probably because of the exposition of new sites phosphorylatable by GSK3β. This study shows that simple (no-labeling), rapid (less than 30 min per assay), and eco-friendly (no-radioactivity) CE-based kinase assays can give insight into the abnormal phosphorylation of tau. They can be extended to screen different modulators of tau phosphorylation to highlight their function and to develop effective drugs for neurodegenerative disease treatments.

Abstract
An assay was developed for phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) using capillary electrophoresis (CE). In the glycolytic pathway, this enzyme catalyzes the rate-limiting step from fructose-6-phosphate and magnesium-bound adenosine triphosphate (Mg-ATP) to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and magnesium-bound adenosine diphosphate (Mg-ADP). This enzyme has recently become a research target because of the importance of glycolysis in cancer and obesity. The CE assay for PFK-1 is based on the separation and detection by ultraviolet (UV) absorbance at 260 nm of Mg-ATP and Mg-ADP. The separation was enhanced by the addition of Mg²⁺ to the separation buffer. Inhibition studies of PFK-1 by aurintricarboxylic acid and palmitoyl coenzyme A were also performed. An IC₅₀ value was determined for aurintricarboxylic acid, and this value matched values in the literature obtained using coupled spectrophotometric assays. This assay for PFK-1 directly monitors the enzyme-catalyzed reaction, and the CE separation reduces the potential of spectral interference by inhibitors.

Abstract
Human kinases are one of the most promising targets for cancer therapy. Methods able to measure the effects of drugs on these cell agents remain crucial for biologists and medicinal chemists. The current work therefore sought to develop an in-capillary enzymatic assay based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) to evaluate the inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). These kinases belong to the same signaling pathway PI3K/Akt/mTOR. For this proposal, the capillary was used as a nanoreactor in which a few nanoliters of the kinase, its substrate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the potent inhibitor were separately injected. A transverse diffusion of laminar flow profiles (TDLFP) approach was employed to mix the reactants. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP ) was detected online at 254 nm. The CE assay was first developed on the α isoform of PI3K. It was compared to five commercial kits frequently used to assess kinase inhibition, based on time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) and bioluminescence. Each assay was evaluated in terms of sensitivity (S/B), reproducibility (Z'), and variability (r (2)). This CE method was easily extended to assay the inhibition of the β, γ, and δ isoforms of PI3K, and of the other kinases of the pathway, Akt1 and mTOR, since it is based on in-capillary mixing by TDLFP and on ADP quantification by simple UV absorption. This work shows for the first time the evaluation of inhibitors of the kinases of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway using a common in-capillary CE assay. Several inhibitors with a wide range of affinity toward these enzymes were tested.

Abstract
Myrosinase is a unique enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucosinolates (GLS) to isothiocyanate (ITC), glucose and sulfate. Isothiocyanates display a diversified very interesting biological activity. In this study, capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used for the first time for evaluating myrosinase kinetics (maximum velocity Vmax and Michaelis-Menten constant Km) and to assess the affinity of a variety of substrates toward this enzyme. The pre-capillary approach was chosen since it is very simple to conduct. For this, the enzymatic reaction was performed in a micro-vial. The reaction mixture volume was of only 100 μL and the incubation lasted only 5 min at 37±1°C. Short-end injection of few tens of nanoliters (~25 nL) of the reaction mixture was performed which decreased analysis time without using any electroosmotic modifier. The sulfate produced was detected and quantified with a contactless capacitively coupled conductivity detector (C(4)D) allowing the evaluation of myrosinase kinetics. This study shows, that capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection can be very useful for monitoring myrosinase activity. Comparing to the conventional spectrophotometric method (1982), the CE method developed here is simple, automated, economic, rapid (incubation for few minutes) and robust. Results compared very well with those reported in literature using the conventional method. Moreover, the affinity of a variety of natural and synthetic glucosinolates toward this enzyme has been assessed for the first time.

Abstract
This review gives an overview of the recent developments and applications in the use of CE-mediated microanalysis for enzyme studies. The period covers mid-2011 until mid-2013. Both off-line and in-line enzyme assays with their applications using CE are described in this article. For the in-capillary enzyme reaction, the techniques using electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA) as well as immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) are discussed. The applications include the evaluation of enzyme activity, enzyme kinetics, enzyme inhibition, screening of enzyme inhibitors, and the study of enzyme-mediated drug metabolism.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used for the first time to evaluate the inhibition activity of aglycone flavonoids (such as quercetin and isorhamnetin) and some of their glycosylated derivatives toward human kinases. The cyclin-dependant kinase 5 (CDK5/p25) and the glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) were chosen since they are very promising biological targets for developing treatments against neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. In a previous work, we developed an in-capillary kinase CE assay where the capillary was used as an enzymatic nanoreactor in which the kinase, its substrate, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and its potential inhibitor were mixed by using transverse diffusion of laminar flow profiles (TDLFP). The product adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) was then detected at 254nm and quantified. In this work, this assay was improved to reduce, for the first time, the dilution effect commonly observed with the TDLFP approach. Under the new conditions established herein, IC50 values for quercetin, kaempferol and flavopiridol were successfully obtained and were in the same order of magnitude of those reported in the literature using the conventional assay using radioactive (33)P-ATP. It was shown that aglycone flavonoids have an inhibition activity more important than their glycosylated derivatives. CE was also proved to be very efficient for evaluating inhibition activity of complex samples such as crude extracts of sea buckthorn (SBT) berries obtained by solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME). This novel approach to combine SFME technique to a CE-based enzymatic assay is very interesting for evaluating the biological activity of natural material in a fast, simple, economic (no use of neither fluorescent nor radiometric labels) and green (no organic solvents) manner.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based enzyme assay method has been developed to screen protein kinase inhibitors. Four human kinases GSK3β, DYRK1A, CDK5/p25 and CDK1/cyclin B were chosen to test this novel method. These enzymes have been identified as very promising targets to develop treatments against cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The efficiency of drugs against these relevant biological targets has never been carried out by CE. For this proposal, the capillary was used as a nanoreactor in which four reactants (the enzyme, its two substrates and its potential inhibitor) were successively injected, mixed by using transverse diffusion of laminar flow profiles and incubated. The adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) formed during the enzymatic reaction was detected by UV and quantified. The efficiency of the developed CE method was validated by determining the IC50 values of a wide variety of inhibitors covering a large domain of affinity toward kinases and containing representative and chemically divergent skeletons. Excellent agreement was found between the results obtained by CE and those reported in the literature when using conventional radiometric enzyme assays. Moreover, CE was successfully used to determine the inhibitory effect of several potential inhibitors that was not yet assessed by conventional methods and is crucial for structure activity relation studies. This novel CE method is simple, rapid, very economic (few tens of nanoliters per IC50) and eco-friendly since no radioactivity was required. It could be extended to high-throughput screening of kinase inhibitors, which is of great interest for biomedical and pharmaceutical research fields.
