PF-543 (also called PF543; PF 543; Sphingosine Kinase 1 Inhibitor II) is a novel cell-permeable and sphingosine-competitive inhibitor of SphK1 with potential antitumor activity. It shows >100-fold selectivity for SphK1 over the SphK2 isoform and inhibits SphK1 with IC50s and Ki of 2.0 nM and 3.6 nM.

| Enzyme Assay | The SphK enzyme assay, which uses a microfluidic capillary electrophoresis mobility-shift system to separate unreacted FITC-sphingosine substrate from FITC-S1P, is developed in a 384-well format. In summary, 1 μM FITC-sphingosine, 20 μM ATP, and 10 μM compound (with a final DMSO concentration of 2%), along with 3 nM SphK1–His6, are incubated for 1 hour in a 384-well Matrical MP-101-1-PP plate with a buffer that contains 100 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), 1 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol, 100 μM sodium orthovanadate, and 1 mM DTT. The reaction mixtures (10 μL) are quenched by adding 20 μL of 30 mM EDTA and 0.15% Coating Reagent-3 in 100 mM Hepes. A small aliquot of each reaction, a few nanoliters, is then analyzed in the Caliper LabChip 3000 instrument at a downstream voltage of -1900 V, a sip time of 0.2 s, and a pressure of -1.5 psi (psi=6.9 kPa). The Caliper data are used to quantify the distinct peaks that appeared as phosphorylated fluorescent product and unphosphorylated fluorescent substrate. | ||
| Cell Assay | In 1483 head and neck cancer cell cultures that expressed high levels of SphK1 and produced S1P at an exceptionally high rate, pretreatment with PF-543 for one hour reduced endogenous S1P levels by ten times while increasing sphingosine levels proportionately. Significant inhibition of SphK1 BY pf-543 was observed. Specific inhibition of SphK1, however, did not affect the survival and proliferation of 1483 cell cultures, even though the cellular S1P/sphingosine rate changed dramatically. | ||

Solubility in Formulation 1: 5 mg/mL (10.74 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 50.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 5 mg/mL (10.74 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 50.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
