  • Patent number: 7592143
    Abstract: The present invention relates to screening methods useful for drug discovery of apoptosis inducing compounds. In particular, the screening methodology relates to using Apoptosis Inducing Proteins (AIPs) as a target for the discovery of apoptosis activators useful as anticancer agents. The screening methods of the present invention can employ homogenous or heterogeneous binding assays using purified or partially purified AIPs; or whole cell assays using cells with altered levels of one or more AIPs. The invention also contemplates use of gambogic acid or GA-related compounds which bind AIPs and can accordingly be used to raise antibodies useful for drug discovery. Alternatively, labeled GA is used for competitive binding assays for drug discovery. Such assays afford high throughput screening of chemical libraries for apoptosis activators.
