Emricasan is a first-in-class caspase inhibitor in clinical trials for the treatment of liver diseases.

Apoptosis Activator 2 strongly induces caspase-3 activation, PARP cleavage, and DNA fragmentation which leads to the destruction of cells (Apaf-1 dependent) with IC50 of ~4 μM, inactive to HMEC, PREC, or MCF-10A cells

Clofilium tosylate, a potassium channel blocker, induces apoptosis of human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells via Bcl-2-insensitive activation of caspase-3. Antiarrhythmic agent.

Z-VAD-FMK is a cell-permeable, irreversible pan-caspase inhibitor. Inhibits caspase processing and apoptosis induction in tumor cells in vitro (IC50 = 0.0015 - 5.8 mM). Active in vivo.

Z-VEID-FMK is the specific recognition sequence for caspase-6/Mch2. Z-VEID-FMK is a synthetic peptide that irreversibly inhibits activity of VEID-dependent caspases (e.g., caspase-6). The inhibitor is designed as a methyl ester to facilitate cell permeability.

Z-VDVAD-FMK is a cell-permeable, irreversible inhibitor of caspase-2. Caspase inhibitors play an important role in investigating biological processes.

Z-DQMD-FMK is a synthetic peptide that irreversibly inhibits the activity of Caspase-3.

LY573636 is a potent anti-tumor agent, which causes growth arrest and apoptosis of a variety of human solid tumors in vitro and in vivo. LY573636-induced apoptosis occurs by a mitochondrial-targeted mechanism.

Trifloxystrobin (CGA 279202) is a fungicide, with EC50s of 23.0 μg/L and 1.7 μg/L for Daphnia magna neonate and embryos, respectively, after treatment for 48 h.

Z-DEVD-FMK is a specific, irreversible Caspase-3 inhibitor.

AVN-944 (also known as VX-944) serves as an effective oral inhibitor, specifically targeting and inhibiting IMPDH (inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase). This enzyme plays a crucial role as a rate-limiting factor in the synthesis of guanine nucleotides from scratch. Additionally, AVN-944 acts against the synthesis of RNA in arenaviruses, effectively preventing arenavirus infections. Demonstrating a wide spectrum of anti-cancer properties, AVN-944 is utilized in research related to multiple myeloma (MM) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

25-hydroxy Cholesterol is a side-chain substituted oxysterol derived from dietary cholesterol that inhibits the cleavage of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) to suppress endogenous cholesterol synthesis in various cell types

Asperosaponin VI, A saponin component from Dipsacus asper wall, induces osteoblast differentiation through BMP?\2/p38 and ERK1/2 pathway. Asperosaponin ?? inhibits apoptosis in hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte by increasing the Bcl-2/Bax ratio and decreasing active caspase-3 expression, as well as enhancing of p-Akt and p-CREB.

Q-VD-OPH is a selective, brain and cell permeable, highly potent and irreversible inhibitor of caspase-3 ( IC50=25nm), caspase-1 (IC50=50nM), caspase-8 (IC50=100nM) and caspase-9 (IC50=430nM).

Ac-LEHD-AFC, fluorogenic caspase substrate. Analog of the caspase-9 substrate, LEHD-AFC.

Ivachtin is a potent, cell-permeable, reversible, non-competitive inhibitor of Caspase-3 (IC50 = 23 nM).

Ac-DEVD-CHO is an aldehyde peptide and a CPP32/Apopain Inhibitor.

Z-VAD(OH)-FMK is an irreversible tripeptide inhibitor of all caspases.

Z-FA-FMK is an irreversible inhibitor of cysteine protease

MX1013 is a dipeptide pan-caspase inhibitor that inhibits caspase-1, caspase-3, and caspase-6, 7, 8, and 9.

Guggulsterone is a plant sterol derived from the gum resin of the tree Commiphora wightii. Guggulsterone inhibits the growth of a wide variety of tumor cells and induces apoptosis through down regulation of antiapoptotic gene products (IAP1, xIAP, Bfl-1/A1, Bcl-2, cFLIP and survivin), modulation of cell cycle proteins (cyclin D1 and c-Myc), activation of caspases and JNK, inhibition of Akt.

Ac-YVAD-pNA is a specific Caspase-1 substrate. Ac-YVAD-pNA can be used to detect Caspase-1 activity. Caspase-1 is a key mediator of inflammatory processes.
