Application
Q-VD-OPh hydrate has been used:
- as a pan-caspase inhibitor to prevent cell death in urothelial carcinoma cells (UCC)
- to induce canonical caspase-dependent apoptosis in UC cells
- to block caspase-3 and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1)
- to study the protective role of EspZ effector protein against apoptosis and necrosis in human epithelial cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pan-caspase inhibitor.
Q-VD-OPh is a potent pan-caspase inhibitor that protects cells from capsase-dependent apoptosis. Q-VD-OPh has superior aqueous stability, cell permeability, and efficacy than FMK-based caspase inhibitors and displays no cytotoxic effects alone.
