Apoptotic protease activating factor-1[1]
Apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (Apaf-1). ZYZ-488 acts as a competitive inhibitor by directly binding to Apaf-1. This binding blocks the recruitment of procaspase-9 to the Apaf-1 apoptosome, thereby preventing the downstream activation of the caspase cascade and inhibiting the intrinsic (mitochondrial) pathway of apoptosis. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In hypoxic H9c2 cells, ZYZ-488 reduces apoptosis. ZYZ-488 suppresses procaspase-9 and procaspase-3 activation mediated by Apaf-1 in response to hypoxia[1]. ZYZ-488 suppresses the activation of the downstream caspases cascade, prevents cardiomyocyte death, and reduces the release of cardiac enzymes[2].
ZYZ-488 demonstrates significant in vitro activity by reducing apoptosis in hypoxic H9c2 cardiomyocytes. It inhibits the hypoxia-induced, Apaf-1-mediated activation of procaspase-9 and procaspase-3. In cellular assays, ZYZ-488 enhances cell viability and reduces the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK), which are markers of cell membrane integrity and myocardial injury, respectively. |
| ln Vivo |
ZYZ-488 (intramuscular; 33.9–67.8 mg/kg; 3 days) prevented myocardial apoptosis[2].
In vivo studies in mouse models demonstrate that intramuscular injection of ZYZ-488 (at doses of 33.9 mg/kg or 67.8 mg/kg for 3 days) protects against myocardial apoptosis. Treatment with ZYZ-488 reduces myocardial infarction (MI)-induced increase in left ventricular volume and decreases ventricular wall thickness. The compound preserves cardiac function in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays are used to confirm the direct binding between ZYZ-488 and Apaf-1. Kinetic parameters for this binding are determined by injecting varying concentrations of ZYZ-488 over immobilized Apaf-1 and measuring the response in resonance units (RU). These assays help characterize the competitive inhibition mechanism.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular activity is assessed using hypoxic H9c2 cells. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of ZYZ-488, and apoptosis is evaluated by measuring cell viability, caspase-9 activation, and morphological changes such as chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation via Hoechst staining. The leakage of LDH and CK is also measured as indicators of cell damage.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male C57BL/6 mice (8-10 weeks old)[2]
Doses: myocardial infarction + ZYZ-488 (33.9 mg/kg); myocardial infraction + ZYZ-488 (67.8 mg/kg); Route of Administration: Intramuscularly; for 3 days Experimental Results: Inhibited Apaf- 1-mediated activation of procaspase-9 and procaspase-3. In vivo efficacy is evaluated in mouse models of myocardial ischemia. ZYZ-488 is administered via intramuscular injection at doses of 33.9 mg/kg or 67.8 mg/kg for 3 days. Cardiac function is assessed by measuring left ventricular volume and wall thickness, and myocardial apoptosis is evaluated by analyzing biomarkers like Apaf-1 and caspase-9. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
ZYZ-488 has a molecular weight of 487.46 and a molecular formula of C20H2₉N3O11. It is soluble in DMSO (200 mg/mL) and water (80 mg/mL). A typical in vivo formulation uses 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween 80, and 45% saline. The compound should be stored as a powder at -20degC in a dry, dark place.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data is available in the provided literature. However, as with all research compounds, it is not intended for human use. The compound is classified as non-hazardous for shipping. In vivo studies show that ZYZ-488 is administered at doses that are effective for cardioprotection without overt signs of acute toxicity in mouse models.

| Additional Infomation |
ZYZ-488 is a competitive inhibitor of Apaf-1, a key protein in the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Its primary mechanism is to prevent the formation of the apoptosome by blocking procaspase-9 recruitment. This compound shows promise in treating cardiac ischemia. It has not entered clinical trials and is exclusively a research tool for studying apoptosis and cardiovascular diseases.
