Description

PF-543 (Sphingosine Kinase 1 Inhibitor II) is a potent, selective, reversible and sphingosine-competitive SPHK1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 2 nM and a Ki of 3.6 nM. PF-543 is >100-fold selectivity for SPHK1 over SPHK2. PF-543 is an effective potent inhibitor of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) formation in whole blood with an IC50 of 26.7 nM. PF-543 induces apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 2 nM (SPHK1); 26.7 nM (Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P))[1]
Ki: 3.6 nM (SPHK1)[1]

In Vitro

PF-543 (10-1000 nM; 24 hours; PASM cells) treatment abolishes SK1 expression at nM concentrations[2].
PF-543 (0.1-10 μM; 24 hours; PASM cells) treatment induces caspase-3/7 activity[2].
PF-543 inhibits C17-S1P formation in 1483 cells with an IC50 of 1.0 nM[1].
SphK1 inhibition by PF-543 causes a dose-dependent depletion of the intracellular level of S1P with EC50 concentration of 8.4 nM and a concomitant elevation of the intracellular level of sphingosine in 1483 cells. The level of endogenous S1P in 1483 cells after a 1 h treatment with 200 nM PF-543 is decreased 10-fold, producing a proportional increase in the level of sphingosine[1].

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: Human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle (PASM) cells
Concentration: 10 nM, 100 nM, 1000 nM
Incubation Time: 24  hours
Result: Abolished SK1 expression at nM concentrations.

Apoptosis Analysis[2]

Cell Line: Human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle (PASM) cells
Concentration: 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM
Incubation Time: 24  hours
Result: Induced caspase-3/7 activity in cultured human pulmonary smooth muscle cells.
In Vivo

PF-543 (1 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; every second day; for 21 days; female C57BL/6 J mice) treatment has no effect on vascular remodelling but reduces right ventricular hypertrophy. The protection involves a reduction in the expression of p53 and an increase in the expression of anti-oxidant nuclear factor Nrf-2[2].
Mice are initially dosed (ip) with 10 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg of PF-543 for 24 h and the T1/2 is 1.2 h in blood samples. Administration of 10 mg/kg PF-543 for 24 h to mice induces a decrease in SK1 expression in pulmonary vessels[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Female C57BL/6 J mice (7-12 week-old) with hypoxic-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension[2]
Dosage: 1 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; every second day; for 21 days
Result: Reduced right ventricular hypertrophy. The protection involves a reduction in the expression of p53 (that promotes cardiomyocyte death) and an increase in the expression of anti-oxidant nuclear factor Nrf-2.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 5 mg/mL (10.74 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (10.74 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
