Abstract:

A method based on rapid resolution liquid chromatogrophy-mass spectrometry was developed for screening the inhibitor of Tau protein kinase 2(TPK2) from natural products. Tau protein kinase 2(TPK2) is a serine/threonine kinase, which is reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The excellent substrate, histone-based peptide PKTPKKAKKL was used in the study. The product(PKpTPKKAKKL) and the internal standard(PKpTPKKAKKV) were separated by RRLC on a C18 column within 4 min, and quantified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(ESI-MS). An online desalting procedure was carried out in the experiment without sample pretreatment prior to analysis. Moreover, the enzymatic reaction conditions including pH value, temperature, reaction time, the concentration of kinase were optimized.

Key words: Alzheimer's disease, Tau protein kinase, Rapid resolution liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry
