Product overview
MitoTox™ Complete OXPHOS Activity Assay Kit (5 assays) (ab110419) is designed for testing the direct inhibitory effect of compounds on the 5 OXPHOS complexes. Inhibitory effects of compounds on OXPHOS Complexes activity can be tested in two different ways: 1. Screening format, where up to 23 compounds can be tested at a single concentration in triplicate; 2. Dose response (IC50) format, where two compounds known to affect specific Complex activity can be tested at 11 different data points in triplicate.
Complexes I, II, IV and V activity are each immunocaptured from bovine heart mitochondria by specific antibodies on 96-well microplates, and their activities measured by simple spectrophotometric assays. Complex III activity is measured by an in-solution colorimetric assay.
Testing for mitochondrial function has become a key aspect of drug discovery. Mitochondria can be affected by drug treatment, resulting into cardio- and hepatotoxic side effects that can lead to drug withdrawal from the market. Therefore, there is increasing emphasis on testing the impact on mitochondria early on in the drug development process to reduce failure rates during preclinical and clinical phases.
