Purification and Characterization of Pyocyanin

Crystalline pyocyanin was purchased from Cayman or prepared by photolysis of 2 mM solution of phenazine methosulfate in 20 mM TRIS buffer, pH 7.4, as reported previously (Cheluvappa, 2014 (link)); the crude synthetic pyocyanin was recrystallized from the TRIS buffer and judged essentially pure by its UV–Vis and ESI mass-spectra. Reduced glutathione (GSH) was obtained from Sigma. The GSH and GSSG content in glutathione stock solutions was determined fluorimetrically with o-phthaladehyde (Senft et al., 2000 (link)). In-house nanopure water was generated by double distillation and used in all experiments. Stock HEPES buffer (200 mM) was treated with 5% (v/v) Chelex resin (BioRad) by stirring overnight. All other commercial reagents, solvents and media were used without any further purification.

Non-pharmaceutical-grade antibiotics included colistin sulfate (∼20,000 U/mg; Chem-Impex), colistin sodium methanesulfonate (CMS) (from Bacillus colistinus; Fluka), and polymyxin B sulfate (∼8,000 U/mg; Research Products International). Stock solutions of CMS were kept frozen until use. The reagent-grade phenazines 1-hydroxyphenazine (1-HP), phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), and phenazine-1-carboxamide (PCN) were obtained from ArkPharm and were used without further purification. Crystalline pyocyanin was purchased from Cayman or prepared by photolysis of a 2 mM solution of phenazine methosulfate in 20 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4), as reported previously (32 (link)). In-house nanopure water was generated by double distillation and used in all experiments. Antioxidants employed in this study included N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), tyrphostin AG490, chlorogenic acid (ChlA), deferasirox (Dfx), the cell-permeable catalase/SOD mimic EUK134, o-phenanthroline (o-Phen), and resveratrol (Resv).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
