Product Description
Boc-Asp(OME)-Fluoromethyl Keton is a broad caspase inhibitor that can suppress Fas-mediated phagocytosis and oxidative rupture inhibition, but does not affect the chemotactic activity of IL-8.
Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone (Boc-Asp(OMe)-FMK, also known as Boc-D-FMK) is a broad-range cell-permeable caspase inhibitor. It inhibits Fas-mediated phagocytosis and oxidative rupture inhibition but does not affect the chemotactic activity of IL-8. The compound has the molecular formula C11H18FNO5 and a molecular weight of 263.26 g/mol. Boc-Asp(OMe)-FMK protects against both Fas-induced and spontaneous apoptosis. It is used in apoptosis research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
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.
ln Vivo
No detailed in vivo activity data has been published for Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone. The compound has been primarily characterized in vitro as a research tool for studying apoptosis and caspase function. Its ability to inhibit Fas-mediated apoptosis and protect cells from cell death suggests that it could have potential for in vivo applications in diseases involving apoptosis. Further studies would be needed to evaluate its efficacy in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
The caspase inhibitory activity of Boc-Asp(OMe)-FMK can be assessed using in vitro enzyme assays. In a typical assay, recombinant caspases are incubated with fluorogenic substrates and varying concentrations of Boc-Asp(OMe)-FMK. The cleavage of the substrates releases fluorescent products that are measured, and the IC50 is calculated. The compound's broad-range caspase inhibition can be confirmed using assays with different caspase isoforms.
Cell Assay
The cellular activity of Boc-Asp(OMe)-FMK is assessed using polymorphonuclear leukocytes or other cell types. Cells are treated with Boc-Asp(OMe)-FMK (100 μM; 30 minutes). Apoptosis is induced using Fas ligand or other apoptotic stimuli. Apoptosis is assessed by annexin V/propidium iodide staining, caspase activation assays, or DNA fragmentation analysis. The compound's ability to protect cells against Fas-induced and spontaneous apoptosis is measured.
Animal Protocol
No detailed in vivo animal model data has been published for Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone. The compound has been primarily characterized in vitro as a research tool for studying apoptosis. Future studies may involve the use of mouse models of diseases involving apoptosis to assess the in vivo efficacy of Boc-Asp(OMe)-FMK.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No detailed pharmacokinetic data has been published for Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone. The compound has a molecular weight of 263.26 g/mol and a molecular formula of C11H18FNO5. It is soluble in DMSO or dimethyl formamide. The compound has a purity of ≥95% (TLC). Further studies would be needed to characterize its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No detailed toxicity data has been published for Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone. As a broad-range caspase inhibitor, it may have on-target effects on apoptosis in normal tissues. Comprehensive toxicology studies would be required to evaluate its safety profile for potential therapeutic development. The compound is intended for research use only.
