PF-543 Citrate
Based on 28 publication(s) in Google Scholar
PF-543 Citrate (Sphingosine Kinase 1 Inhibitor II Citrate) 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 Citrate is >100-fold selectivity for SPHK1 over SPHK2. PF-543 Citrate is an effective potent inhibitor of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) formation in whole blood with an IC50 of 26.7 nM. PF-543 Citrate induces apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy.

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].
