PMSF is an irreversible serine/cysteine protease inhibitor commonly used in the preparation of cell lysates.
PMSF (2 mM) inhibits carbachol-stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation in the presence of Li+ by only 15%-19%. PMSF inhibition of phosphoinositide turnover is due to one or more steps following phosphoinositide breakdown[1]. PMSF inhibits the acylation of the inositol residue of GPI intermediates in bloodstream-form T. brucei. PMSF inhibits the formation of glycolipid C but does not inhibit fatty acid remodeling in vitro. PMSF inhibits GPI acylation and ethanolamine phosphate addition in procyclic trypanosomes but not in Hela cells[2].
PMSF (0.1 mL/10 g b.wt, i.p.) produces antinociception as indicated by the dose-responsive increase in % MPE in the tail-flick latency evaluation, but fails to produce a clear dose-responsive inhibition of locomotion. Mice receiving i.p. injections of PMSF exhibit cannabinoid effects that includes antinociception, hypothermia and immobility with ED50 values of 86, 224 and 206 mg/kg, respectively. PMSF (30 mg/kg) pretreatment potentiates the effects of anandamide on tail-flick response (antinociception), spontaneous activity and mobility by 5-, 10- and 8-fold, respectively[3].
Male ICR mice weighing 18 to 25 g are used in the assay. PMSF is dissolved in sesame oil and administered i.p. at a volume of 0.1 mL/10 g b.wt. PMSF is always administered 10 min before i.v. anandamide or vehicle injections. Mice are acclimated to the evaluation room overnight without interruption of food or water. After i.v. anandamide or vehicle administration each animal is evaluated as follows: tail-flick latency (antinociception) response at 5 min and spontaneous (locomotor) activity at 5 to 15 min
or core (rectal) temperature at 5 min and ring-immobility (catalepsy) at 5 to 10 min.
