Product Description
ZYZ-488 is a competitive apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (Apaf-1) inhibitor that can suppress activation of the binding proteins procaspase-9 and procaspase-3.
ZYZ-488 (CAS#: 1470302-79-4) is a competitive small-molecule inhibitor of apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (Apaf-1). It inhibits the Apaf-1-mediated activation of procaspase-9 and procaspase-3. This compound is primarily investigated for its cardioprotective properties, with a key mechanism being the reduction of apoptosis in cardiomyocytes under hypoxic stress. It is a solid with a purity of ≥98% and is intended for research use only.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
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.
