Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	Caspase-1 ^[1] 25 nM-400 nM Caspase-3 ^[1] 25 nM-400 nM Caspase-8 ^[1] 25 nM-400 nM Caspase-9 ^[1] 25 nM-400 nM
In vitro	Q-VD-OPh （5-100 μM） potently inhibits Actinomycin D-induced DNA laddering and subsequent apoptosis with minimal toxicity in WEHI 231 cells. Q-VD-OPh prevents caspase mediated cleavage of PARP and activation of the major initiator and effector caspases. ^[2] Q-VD-OPh protects cardiac myocytes from virus-induced apoptosis in vitro. ^[4]
In vivo	Q-VD-OPh inhibits caspase-1 activity, IL-18 protein expression, and neutrophil infiltration during ischemic ARF in mice. ^[3] In vivo, caspase inhibition by Q-VD-OPh provides protection from virus-induced myocardial injury, with a significant reduction in caspase-3 activity. ^[4] In TgCRND8 mice, Q-VD-OPh inhibits caspase-7 activation and limits the pathological changes associated with tau, including caspase cleavage. ^[5]
