Caspase-9
Caspase-9 Inhibitor III targets caspase-9, a key initiator caspase in the intrinsic (mitochondrial) apoptotic pathway. The compound is a potent and irreversible inhibitor of caspase-9. It is cell-permeable and peptide-based (Ac-LEHD-cmk). By inhibiting caspase-9, the compound blocks the activation of downstream effector caspases (caspase-3 and caspase-7), thereby preventing apoptosis. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Catapase-9 Inhibitor III (0.07-0.105 μM; perfusion 10 min) markedly reduced the release of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase in coronary wastewater, the apoptosis index, and the rise in infarct size in isolated rat hearts caused by I/R[1]. MMP-2-induced troponin I hydrolysis is inhibited by Caspase-9 Inhibitor III (30 μM) [2].
In vitro studies demonstrate that Caspase-9 Inhibitor III (Ac-LEHD-cmk) is a potent and irreversible inhibitor of caspase-9. The compound is cell-permeable. It exhibits protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion-induced myocardial injury in isolated rat heart models. At concentrations of 0.07-0.105 μM, the compound reduces the apoptotic index of isolated rat heart. It markedly reduces the release of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase in coronary wastewater. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Caspase-9 Inhibitor III exhibits protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion-induced myocardial injury. The compound reduces myocardial infarct size during reperfusion (~70 nM). It markedly reduces the release of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase, the apoptosis index, and the rise in infarct size in isolated rat hearts. The compound's protective effects are mediated through inhibition of caspase-9 and blockade of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The caspase-9 inhibitory activity of Caspase-9 Inhibitor III can be assessed using in vitro enzyme assays. In a typical assay, recombinant caspase-9 is incubated with a fluorogenic substrate (such as Ac-LEHD-AFC) and varying concentrations of the inhibitor. The cleavage of the substrate releases a fluorescent product that is measured, and the IC50 is calculated. The compound is a potent and irreversible inhibitor. The specificity for caspase-9 over other caspases can be assessed using similar assays with other caspase isoforms.
|
| Cell Assay |
The cellular activity of Caspase-9 Inhibitor III is assessed using cell-based apoptosis assays. Cells are treated with apoptosis-inducing agents (such as staurosporine or UV irradiation) in the presence or absence of the inhibitor. Apoptosis is assessed by measuring caspase-3/7 activity, annexin V/propidium iodide staining, or detecting cleaved PARP. The compound's ability to inhibit caspase-9 and block apoptosis is measured. The compound is cell-permeable.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Caspase-9 Inhibitor III has been evaluated in isolated rat heart models of ischemia-reperfusion injury. In these studies, hearts are perfused with the inhibitor at concentrations of 0.07-0.105 μM. Myocardial infarct size, lactate dehydrogenase release, creatine kinase release, and apoptotic index are measured. The compound reduces infarct size and apoptosis. These findings demonstrate its cardioprotective effects.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No detailed pharmacokinetic data has been published for Caspase-9 Inhibitor III. The compound has a molecular weight of 587.02 g/mol and a molecular formula of C25H39N7O10. It is soluble in DMSO at 125 mg/mL. The compound is cell-permeable. Further studies would be needed to characterize its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No detailed toxicity data has been published for Caspase-9 Inhibitor III. As a caspase-9 inhibitor, it may have effects on apoptosis in normal tissues. The compound has shown protective effects in ischemia-reperfusion injury models. Comprehensive toxicology studies would be required to evaluate its safety profile for potential therapeutic development. The compound is intended for research use only.

*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.
