Daclatasvir dihydrochloride (BMS-790052 dihydrochloride) is an orally available antiviral agent that inhibits the NS5A region of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and is used in combination with other oral antiviral agents to treat chronic hepatitis C. Elevations in serum enzyme levels during daclatasvir therapy are uncommon, and it has yet to be convincingly implicated in cases of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice.

CDK assays are performed in 96-well filter plates. All CDK-cyclin kinase complexes are expressed in insect cells through baculovirus infection and purified. The substrate for the assays is a fragment (amino acids 792-928) of pRb fused to GST (GST·RB-Cterm). The total volume in each well is 0.1 mL containing a final concentration of 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 10 mM MgCl2, 25 μM ATP (for CDK4-cyclin D1, CDK6-cyclin D2, and CDK6-cyclin D3) or 12 μM ATP (for CDK2-cyclin E, CDK2-cyclin A, and CDC2-cyclin B) containing 0.25 μCi of [γ-32P]ATP, 20 ng of enzyme, 1 μg of GST·RB-Cterm, and Palbociclib (0.001-0.1 μM). All components except the [γ-32P]ATP are added to the wells, and the plate is placed on a plate mixer for 2 min. The reaction is started by adding the [γ-32P]ATP and the plate is incubated at 25°C for 15 min. The reaction is terminated by addition of 0.1 mL of 20% trichloroacetic acid and the plate is kept at 4°C for at least 1 hour to allow the substrate to precipitate. The wells are then washed 5 times with 0.2 mL of 10% trichloroacetic acid and radioactive incorporation is determined with a β plate counter.
