Biological Activity

Description Emricasan (IDN-6556, PF 03491390, PF-03491390) is a potent irreversible pan-caspase inhibitor and also functions as an inhibitor of Zika virus infection.
Targets
caspase [1]
In vitro Emricasan (IDN-6556), also called PF-03491390, is an inhibitor of activated caspases with sub- to nanomolar activity in vitro. It shows neuroprotective activity for hNPCs but does not suppress ZIKV replication[2].
In vivo In the murine NASH model, stellate cell activation and hepatic fibrogenesis are attenuated by administration of Emricasan (IDN-6556), a pan-caspase inhibitor[1]. It decreases liver injury but not metabolic derangement in NASH and also ameliorates inflammation. This compound is currently being evaluated in phase 2 clinical trials for the reduction of hepatic injury and liver fibrosis caused by chronic HCV infection[2].

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:[2]
  • Cell lines

    Astrocytes

  • Concentrations

    9 μM

  • Incubation Time

    1 h

  • Method

    Astrocytes are mock-infected, treated with DMSO or treated with 2 μM niclosamide, 92 μM PHA-690509, 9 μM emricasan (IDN-6556), or a combination of 92 μM PHA-690509 and this compound for 1 h before infection with PRVABC59 (MOI = 0.5). Cells are fixed 24 h after infection and stained for ZIKVE and nuclei.
Animal Study:[1]
  • Animal Models

    C57BL/6J mice

  • Dosages

    0.3mg/kg/day

  • Administration
