Description of PMSF

PMSF is an irreversible serine protease inhibitor that is often added to the lysis buffer before cell or tissue lysis to prevent protein degradation[1,2]. PMSF can effectively inhibit chymotrypsin, trypsin, thrombin, etc. The principle of action of PMSF is that it can specifically recognize and sulfonate the serine residue active site that determines enzyme activity. PMSF is also an inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), cysteine proteases (such as papain, the inhibitory activity of which is reversed by DTT), and acetylcholinesterase of mammalian origin[3]. The inhibitory effect of PMSF on papain can be reversed by DTT (Dithiothreitol).

The deactivation of PMSF increases with increasing pH and temperature. The half-lives of the inhibitors are approximately 110, 55, and 35 minutes at 25°C and pH 7.0, 7.5, and 8.0, respectively. At pH 8, 100μM PMSF is almost completely inactivated within 1 hour at 25°C or 22 hours at 4°C. PMSF stock solutions prepared using 100% isopropyl alcohol are stable for months or longer at 25°C. Within 1 week at 25°C and pH 7.0, chymotrypsin inhibited by PMSF did not reactivate[4].

In animal experiments, PMSF had significant analgesic effects at doses of 120 and 300 mg/kg. Sub-analgesic doses (60 mg/kg, i.p.) of PMSF can reduce tolerance resulting from acute and chronic administration of opioids[3].

PMSF can be used alone or often mixed with other protease inhibitors such as aprotinin A or phosphatase inhibitors such as sodium orthovanadate.

PMSF is poorly soluble in water and has poor stability in aqueous solutions. It is recommended to add it to lysis buffer or other aqueous solutions before use. PMSF powder can be dissolved in methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol to prepare a storage solution. The recommended concentration is 100-200mM. The effective working concentration of PMSF is 0.1-1mM.

Protocol of PMSF

Animal experiment [1]:

Animal models

Adult male mice

Preparation Method

This assay measures analgesic activity. All animals were placed on a 55 ± 1 °C hot plate, and the latency time to either jumping or licking was recorded. The cut-off time was set as 15 s to protect mice from any damage. The antinociceptive effects of a single dose of morphine (10 mg/kg s.c.) and PMSF (60, 120, and 300 mg/kg) were determined.

Dosage form

60, 120, and 300 mg/kg, i.p.

Applications

The results suggest that the administration of the PMSF doses (120 and 300 mg/kg, i.p.) led to significant changes in the analgesic latency time, while administration with PMSF (60 mg/kg i.p.) had no significant difference.
