Caspase

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-IETD-FMK is a specific inhibitor of caspase 8.

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

Z-WEHD-FMK is a synthetic peptide that irreversibly inhibits caspase-5 and related caspase activity.

Caspase-3/7 Inhibitor I is a potent, cell-permeable, and specific, reversible inhibitor of caspase-3 (Ki = 60 nM) and caspase-7 (Ki = 170 nM).

AZ 10417808, selective non-peptide inhibitor of caspase-3 (Ki = 247 nM); displays > 40-fold selectivity over caspases 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 (Ki > 10 uM).

PETCM is an activator of caspase-3 and a stimulator of apoptosome formation in HeLa cell cytosols.

Ac-LEHD-AFC is a fluorogenic substrate for caspase-4, caspase-5, and caspase-9.

BOC-D-FMK is a Novel inhibitor of Caspase-3.

Z-YVAD-FMK is a potent cell-permeable and irreversible inhibitor of caspase-1.

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

Phenoxodiol, a synthetic analog of Genestein, activates the mitochondrial caspase system, inhibits XIAP (an apoptosis inhibitor), and sensitizes the cancer cells to Fas-mediated apoptosis.

5,7,4'-Trimethoxyflavone is isolated from Kaempferia parviflora (KP) that is a famous medicinal plant from Thailand. 5,7,4'-Trimethoxyflavone induces apoptosis, as evidenced by increments of sub-G1 phase, DNA fragmentation, annexin-V/PI staining, the Bax/Bcl-xL ratio, proteolytic activation of caspase-3, and degradation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) protein.5,7,4'-Trimethoxyflavone is significantly effective at inhibiting proliferation of SNU-16 human gastric cancer cells in a concentration dependent manner.
