Product Description
Procaspase-3/6 activator 1 (compound 1541) is a specific and potent activator of procaspases-3 and -6, with EC50s of 2.4 ± 0.2 and 2.8 ± 0.3 μM, respectively. Procaspase-3/6 activator 1 does not activate procaspases-1 or -7.
CASP3 Activator 1541 (CAS 1100353-03-4), also known as Procaspase-3/6 activator 1 (compound 1541), is a specific and potent small-molecule activator of the proenzyme forms of caspase-3 (procaspase-3) and caspase-6 (procaspase-6). It is a cell death inducer with potential applications in cancer research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
This compound directly targets the inactive zymogen forms of executioner caspases, procaspase-3 and procaspase-6. It has EC50 values of 2.4 ± 0.2 µM for procaspase-3 and 2.8 ± 0.3 µM for procaspase-6. It does not activate procaspases-1 or -7.
ln Vitro
Combine Procaspase-3/6 activator 1 (compound 1541) with 100 nM of Procaspase-3 (100 nM to 100 μM). The samples were analyzed by Ac-DEVD-AFC after 4 hours at 37°C. Procaspase-3 was triggered to exhibit activity at low doses of 1541 (EC50 = 2.4 μM), while procaspase-3 was inhibited at high concentrations (IC50 = 34.0 μM) [1]. Compound 1541) is the activator 1 of procaspase-3/6 caspase activity. -3, like procaspase-3, has an equivalent inhibitory action (IC50 = 35 μM][1].
In vitro, CASP3 Activator 1541 activates procaspase-3 and -6, leading to the induction of cell death. It non-covalently self-assembles into chemical fibrils, which are believed to be the active form that promotes caspase activation. It also inhibits mature caspase-3 with an IC50 of 34 µM.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for CASP3 Activator 1541 is not extensively reported. As an activator of apoptosis, its in vivo activity would be related to the induction of cell death in target tissues, such as tumors. It has shown promising results in preclinical studies for cancer treatment.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro assay for CASP3 Activator 1541 measures its ability to activate procaspase-3 and -6. This is typically performed using a biochemical assay where the proenzyme is incubated with the compound, and the generation of active caspase is measured using a fluorogenic substrate.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays are performed in cancer cell lines to assess the compound's ability to induce apoptosis. Cells are treated with the activator, and cell death is measured using viability assays. The activation of caspases is confirmed by Western blotting for cleaved caspase-3 and its substrates.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies would involve administering CASP3 Activator 1541 to tumor-bearing mice in a xenograft model. Tumor growth would be monitored, and the induction of apoptosis in tumor tissue would be confirmed by analyzing markers of cell death, such as cleaved caspase-3.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of CASP3 Activator 1541 are not detailed in the literature. As a research compound, its primary use is in vitro, and its in vivo PK properties would need to be determined for therapeutic development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for CASP3 Activator 1541 is not available. As an inducer of apoptosis, its safety profile would be critical for any therapeutic application. Off-target effects could lead to significant toxicity.

Additional Infomation
CASP3 Activator 1541 is a valuable research tool for studying the mechanisms of apoptosis and for developing new cancer therapies that directly activate the cell death machinery. Its unique mechanism of action, involving non-covalent self-assembly, offers a novel approach to inducing apoptosis.
