Application

Ac-YVAD-cmk has been used:
  • as an inflammasome inhibitor to add to THP-1 cells or PBMC (peripheral blood mononuclear cell) before stimulation
  • as a caspase-1 inhibitor injected to C57BL/6 mice
  • as a caspase-1 inhibitor, administered into mice before and during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to evaluate its effect on bone marrow inflammatory injury
  • to abolish the histidine-rich protein II (HRPII) effect on transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER)
  • as caspase 1 inhibitor, to treat MCF-7 tumor xenograft mice, to validate the role of inflammasomes activation in tumor growth in vivo condition

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ac-YVAD-cmk is a selective caspase-1 inhibitor.
Ac-YVAD-cmk is a selective ireversible inhibitor of caspase-1 (interleukin-1β converting enzyme, ICE) with some activity also against caspase-4. Ac-YVAD-cmk is anti-apoptotic and has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, thought to result from its preventing caspase-1 activation of the proinflammatory cytokine, Interleukin-1β.

Caspases Inhibitors and Activators

Agents reported to activate cellular caspases include chemotherapeutic drugs, TNF receptor agonists, and other enzymes. Inhibitors of apoptosis were the first identified endogenous caspase inhibitors.

세포 주기 연구를 위한 생체 활성 저분자

증식하는 세포에서 세포 주기는 4단계로 구성됩니다. Gap 1(G1)은 유사분열과 세포 성장을 특징으로 하는 DNA 복제 사이의 기간입니다. DNA 복제는 합성(S)기에 일어나며, 세포 분열을 위한 성장 및 준비를 하는 Gap 2(G2)가 뒤따릅니다. 이 세 단계는 함께 세포주기의 간기 단계를 구성합니다. 간기 이후에 분열(M)기가 뒤따릅니다.
