Caspase 1 Activator

L67 (DNA Ligase Inhibitor) is a competitive DNA ligase inhibitor that effectively inhibits DNA ligases I/III (both IC₅₀ are 10 μM). L67 can cause nuclear DNA damage by reducing levels of mitochondrial DNA and increasing levels of mitochondrially-generated ROS. L67 also activates the Caspase 1-dependent apoptosis pathway in cancer cells, can be used in cancer research.

ADP-β-S (Adenosine 5'-(β-thiodiphosphate)) trilithium is a non-hydrolyzable ADP analog and a P2Y12 receptor agonist. ADP-β-S trilithium activates the P2Y12 receptor in microglia, thereby triggering downstream inflammatory signaling pathways. ADP-β-S trilithium activates P2Y purinergic receptors in rat pancreatic β cells and enhances glucose-induced insulin secretion. ADP-β-S trilithium can be used in the research of diseases such as inflammation and diabetes.

NLRP3 agonist 1 (Compound 23) is an orally active NLRP3 agonist. NLRP3 agonist 1 can activate the enzyme Caspase-1 to cleave pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 proinflammatory cytokines into their mature forms.

cRIPGBM chloride, an orally active, proapoptotic derivative. cRIPGBM can be generated from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cancer stem cells (CSCs). cRIPGBM(chloride) targets to receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2) to induce caspase 1-dependent apoptosis. cRIPGBM(chloride) suppresses the formation of RIPK2/TAK1 (prosurvival complex), and increases the formation of RIPK2/caspase 1 (proapoptotic complex). cRIPGBM(chloride) exerts potent anti-tumor activity in vivo in animal models.

cRIPGBM, a proapoptotic derivative of RIPGBM, a cell type-selective inducer of apoptosis in GBM cancer stem cells (CSCs) by binding to receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2), with an EC₅₀ of 68 nM in GBM-1 cells.

JAK1/CDK7-IN-1 is a JAK1/CDK7 inhibitor. JAK1/CDK7-IN-1 forms a stable and tightly bound complex with JAK1. JAK1/CDK7-IN-1 disrupts the cell cycle, induces G₂/M phase arrest, and increases the proportion of pre-G₁ phase cells. JAK1/CDK7-IN-1 induces cellular apoptosis (apoptosis) and necrosis. JAK1/CDK7-IN-1 is applicable to research related to breast cancer and prostate cancer.

CQ31 is a PEPD and XPNPEP1 inhibitor, with an IC₅₀ of 0.67 μM against PEPD and an IC₅₀ of 122 μM against XPNPEP1. CQ31 inhibits the M24B aminopeptidase activity of PEPD and XPNPEP1. CQ31 induces the accumulation of Xaa-Pro-containing peptides, mildly inhibits DPP8/9, and triggers CASP1-dependent pyroptosis via activation of the CARD8 inflammasome and caspase-1. CQ31 can be used in research related to cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia.
