P. aeruginosa produces several phenazine toxic metabolites, in which the most predominant is a blue pigment, pyocyanin. It has also been reported to induce apoptosis in human lung epithelial cells and to induce premature cellular senescence in mammalian cells. Pyocyanin undergoes nonenzymatic reduction by NADPH, which produces hydrogen peroxide and depletes intracellular glutathione levels, causing oxidative stress in susceptible cells. Pyocyanin may act to accelerate neutrophil apoptosis in vitro, resulting in resolution of acute inflammation that is beneficial for bacterial survival.

What is the solubility of this product?

Asked by: hawkeye11
Thank you for your question. Pyocyanin, sc-205475, is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers. For maximum solubility in aqueous buffers, Pyocyanin should first be dissolved in ethanol and then diluted with aqueous buffer of choice. Pyocyanin has a solubility of approximately 0.5 mg/ml in a 1:1 solution of ethanol:PBS (pH7.2) using this method.
