Caspase
Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone is a broad-range caspase inhibitor that targets multiple caspases involved in the apoptotic pathway. The compound is cell-permeable. It inhibits Fas-mediated phagocytosis and oxidative rupture inhibition but does not affect the chemotactic activity of IL-8. By inhibiting caspases, the compound blocks apoptosis and protects cells from Fas-induced and spontaneous cell death. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes treated with Boc-Asp(OME)-Fluoromethyl Keton (100 μM; 30 minutes) are protected against both Fas-induced and spontaneous apoptosis (−CH-11)[1]. LDH release is considerably increased by Boc-Asp(OME)-Fluoromethyl Keton (20 μM; 5 hours; J774.1/JA-4 cells)[2].
In vitro studies demonstrate that Boc-Asp(OMe)-FMK (100 μM; 30 minutes) protects polymorphonuclear leukocytes against both Fas-induced and spontaneous apoptosis. The compound is a broad-range caspase inhibitor. It inhibits Fas-mediated phagocytosis and oxidative rupture inhibition but does not affect the chemotactic activity of IL-8. The compound is cell-permeable. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
