Z-VAD
Catalog No. A25498

Z-VAD is an irreversible pan-caspase inhibitor that targets multiple caspases, including caspase-3, -6, -7, -8, and -9, while exhibiting a lesser inhibitory effect on caspase-2. This compound is utilized in research for its ability to block apoptosis signaling pathways, promote autophagy and necrosis in tumor cells, and exhibit anti-angiogenic properties. Z-VAD enhances the sensitivity of breast and lung cancer cells to radiotherapy, both in vitro and in vivo, and extends growth delay in tumor xenograft models. It is primarily employed in studies focused on cancer radiosensitization and the regulation of cell death pathways.
