Abstract
Disclosed are methods and kits for identifying modulators of the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE pathway. In particular, a high throughput fluorescent polarization assay is described that identifies small molecules that inhibit the binding of a fluorescently labeled Nrf2 peptide with the kelch domain of the Keap1 protein. Also provided are probes that can be used in the described fluorescent polarization assay. The small molecules identified using the described assay are useful for combating oxidative stress-related disorders, such as those associated with cancer, emphysema, Huntington's disease, light-induced retinal damage, and stroke.
