Caspase 6 Inhibitor

Z-VAD is an irreversible, broad-spectrum pan-caspase inhibitor that can inhibit a variety of caspases including caspase-3, -6, -7, -8, -9, etc. (with a weaker inhibitory effect on caspase-2). Z-VAD can block apoptosis signaling pathways, induce autophagy and necrosis in tumor cells, and has anti-angiogenic activity. Z-VAD can enhance the sensitivity of breast cancer and lung cancer cells to radiotherapy in vitro and in vivo, and prolong the growth delay of tumor xenograft models. Z-VAD is well tolerated and is mainly used in research related to cancer radiosensitization and cell death pathway regulation.

Ac-DEVD-CHO is a Caspase-3 inhibitor with a K_i value of 230 pM.

Z-FA-FMK ((1S)-Z-FA-FMK) is a potent Cathepsin B and L inhibitor. Z-FA-FMK blocks the induction of DEVDase activity, DNA fragmentation, and externalization of phosphatidylserine by selective synthetic retinoid-related molecules (RRMs). Z-FA-FMK inhibits apoptosis. Z-FA-FMK inhibits caspase activity and selectively inhibits recombinant effector caspases 2, -3, -6, and -7. Z-FA-FMK is a viral inhibitor. Z-FA-FMK inhibits reovirus replication in a susceptible host.

Caspase-3-IN-1 (compound 11b) is a potent Caspase-3 inhibitor, with an IC₅₀ of 14.5 nM.

Caspase-6-IN-1 is a Caspase-6 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 5.6 μM. Caspase-6-IN-1 can inhibit Caspase-6 activity and reduce lamin A hydrolysis. Caspase-6-IN-1 can be used for the research of neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Ac-VEID-CHO (TFA) is a peptide-derived caspase inhibitor and has potency of inhibition for Caspase-6, Caspase-3 and Caspase-7 with IC₅₀ values of 16.2 nM, 13.6 nM and 162.1 nM, respectively. Ac-VEID-CHO (TFA) can be used for the research of neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease.

N-alpha-Tosyl-Lys chloromethyl ketone hydrochloride (TLCK hydrochloride) is a Serine protease inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 12.0 μM against Caspase-3, 54.5 μM against Caspase-6, and 19.3 μM against Caspase-7. It inhibits thrombin-induced nuclear translocation of FOXO1. N-alpha-Tosyl-Lys chloromethyl ketone hydrochloride can be used in research related to leukemia and cardiovascular diseases.

Ac-VEID-CHO is a peptide-derived caspase inhibitor and has potency of inhibition for Caspase-6, Caspase-3 and Caspase-7 with IC₅₀ values of 16.2 nM, 13.6 nM and 162.1 nM, respectively. Ac-VEID-CHO also inhibits VEIDase activity an IC₅₀ value of 0.49 µM. Ac-VEID-CHO can be used for the research of neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease.
