Product Description

MX1013 (Z-VD-fmk) is a novel, a potent and irreversible dipeptide pan-caspase inhibitor which inhibits with IC50 values ranging from 5 to 20 nm that inhibits caspases 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Caspases are thought to be important targets for the development of cytoprotective drugs because they play a significant role in apoptosis. Cathepsin B, calpain I, and factor Xa are examples of noncaspase proteases that MX1013 does not effectively inhibit (IC50 values >10 microm). MX1013 is more effective than tetrapeptide- and tripeptide-based caspase inhibitors in a number of cell culture models of apoptosis, such as caspase 3 processing, PARP cleavage, and DNA fragmentation, and it inhibited apoptosis at concentrations as low as 0.5 microm. Compared to caspase inhibitors based on tripeptides like Z-VAD-fmk, MX1013 is more soluble in water. In the anti-Fas mouse-liver apoptosis model, a commonly used liver failure model, MX1013 prevented liver damage and the lethality brought on by Fas death receptor activation at a dose of 1 mg kg-1 intravenously. In a model of brain ischemia/reperfusion injury, MX1013 reduced cortical damage by about 50% at a dose of 20 mg kg-1 (i.v. bolus followed by i.v. infusion for 6 or 12 h). At a dose of 20 mg kg-1 (i.v. bolus) followed by i.v. infusion for 12 h, MX1013 reduced heart damage by approximately 50% in a model of acute myocardial infarction. These studies lead to the conclusion that MX1013, a dipeptide pan-caspase inhibitor, has an effective combination of in vitro and in vivo characteristics. It is systemically active in three animal models of apoptosis, including brain ischemia, and has the capacity to defend cells from a variety of apoptotic insults.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Caspase
ln Vitro
MX1013 has an IC50 range of 5 to 20 nm and inhibits caspases 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Cathepsin B, calpain I, and factor Xa are examples of noncaspase proteases that are poorly inhibited by MX1013 (IC50 values >10 μm)[1].
The maturation of caspase 3 through proteolysis, the cleavage of PARP by caspase, and the fragmentation of genomic DNA are the three primary indicators of apoptosis that MX1013 inhibits[1].
ln Vivo
MX1013 is an effective antiapoptotic agent in vivo. MX1013 can shield animals from the deadly effects of local tissue apoptosis in addition to inhibiting it[1].

*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. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
