Biological Activity

Description

Z-YVAD-FMK is a cell-permeable and irreversible caspase-1 specific inhibitor with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities.

Targets

caspase-1 ^[1]

In vitro

Z-YVAD-FMK treatment significantly reduces the increased caspase-1 activity induced by LPS+Aβ. Z-YVAD-FMK remarkably suppresses the protein expressions of cleaved IL-1β, cleaved IL-18, and Iba-1.^[1]

In vivo

Z-YVAD-FMK is a cell-permeable caspase-6 inhibitor.

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[1]}	Cell lines BV2 cells Concentrations 5 μM Incubation Time 1 h Method BV2 cells are treated without or with EGCG (10 μM) or/and Z-YVAD-FMK (5 μM) for 1 h, followed by stimulationwith LPS (1 μg/mL) for 1 h and Aβ1-42 (10 μM) for 6 h. The cells are harvested at room temperature, and the protein concentration is determined by the Bradfordmethod. A calibration curve is constructed, and caspase-1 activity is calculated according to it.
Animal Study:^{^[3]}	Animal Models C57BL/6J mice Dosages 50 μM Administration i.v.
