Z-DEVD-FMK, a tetrapeptide compound, is a novel, potent, specific, cell-permeable and irreversible caspase-3 inhibitor with IC50 of 18 μM. Compared to caspase-6, caspase-7, and caspase-10, it is relatively more selective for caspase-3.

Caspase-3 (IC50 = 18 μM)

ln Vitro |
Z-DEVD-FMK (1–200 μM) inhibits D4-GDI cleavage and apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. [1] Z-DEVD-FMK significantly inhibits the activation of caspase 3 and lessens ceramide-induced cardiomyocyte death. [3] In cultured brain microvessel endothelial cells, Z-DEVD-FMK (100 μM) inhibits OxyHb's effects on DNA ladders, caspase-2 and -3 activity, cell detachment, and PARP cleavage. [4] Caspase-3 activity increases brought on by MPP+ are prevented by Z-DEVD-FMK (100 μM). With an IC50 of 18 μM, Z-DEVD-FMK inhibits 6-OHDA-induced apoptotic cell death in a dose-dependent manner. [5]

ln Vivo |
Z-DEVD-FMK significantly improves neurological recovery both before and after injury by significantly reducing post-traumatic apoptosis. [2]

Enzyme Assay |
Utilizing fluorescent-based substrate, the activities of caspase-3 and caspase-9 are measured. Following treatment, the cells are resuspended in 10 mM digitonin-containing lysis buffer (50 mM Tris HCl, 1 mM EDTA, and 10 mM EGTA) for 20 min at 37°C. Ac-DEVD-AFC for caspase-3 or Ac-LEHD-AFC for caspase-9 are applied to supernatants for 1 hour at 37 degrees Celsius. Fluorescence is then measured using a Gemini XS fluorescence plate reader at excitation at 400 nm and emission at 505 nm.

Cell Assay |
Using the widely used MTT assay (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-3-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide), cell death in N27 cells is assessed after incubation with 100 μM 6-OHDA for 24 h or 300 μM MPP+ for 36 h in the presence or absence of 50 μM Z-DEVD-FMK. The cells are then treated and incubated for 3 hours at 37 degrees Celsius in serum-free medium containing 0.25 mg/ml MTT. Using a SpectraMax microplate reader and a reference wavelength of 630 nm, the formation of formazan from tetrazolium is measured at 570 nm.

Additional Infomation |
Z-DEVD-FMK is a tetrapeptide consisting of Fmoc-L-aspartic acid 4-methyl ester, methyl L-alpha-glutamic acid 5-methyl ester, L-valine and the fluoromethyl ketone derived from the 1-carboxy group of L-aspartic acid 4-methyl ester coupled in sequence. It is a specific, irreversible caspase-3 inhibitor that also shows potent inhibition of caspase-6, caspase-7, caspase-8, and caspase-10. It has a role as an apoptosis inhibitor, an EC 3.4.22.56 (caspase-3) inhibitor and a neuroprotective agent.

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1 mg/mL (1.50 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL of normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1 mg/mL (1.50 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. View More

*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.
