PF-543 is a potent inhibitor of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1; IC = 2 nM) that inhibits sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) binding to human recombinant SPHK1 (K = 3.6 nM). It is selective for SPHK1 over SPHK2 (IC = 356 nM) as well as a panel of protein and lipid kinases and S1P receptors at a concentration of 10 µM. PF-543 inhibits the formation of S1P in 1483 cells and human whole blood (ECs = 8.4 and 26.7 nM, respectively). In vivo, PF-543 prevents sickling, hemolysis, and inflammation in a transgenic mouse model of sickle cell disease.
PF-543 (hydrochloride) 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 hydrochloride is >100-fold selectivity for SPHK1 over SPHK2. PF-543 (hydrochloride) is an effective potent inhibitor of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) formation in whole blood with an IC50 of 26.7 nM. PF-543 (hydrochloride) induces apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy.

PF-543 (10-1000 nM; 24 hours; PASM cells) treatment abolishes SK1 expression at nM concentrations.
PF-543 (0.1-10 μM; 24 hours; PASM cells) treatment induces caspase-3/7 activity.
PF-543 inhibits C17-S1P formation in 1483 cells with an IC50 of 1.0 nM.
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.

体内研究
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.
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.
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.
