ICeD-2 

ICeD-2 is a inducer of cell death, can induce HIV-1 infected cell kill. ICeD-2-mediated HIV-1 infected cell kill is dependent on HIV-1 protease activity. ICeD-2 potently blocks hydrolysis of Gly-Pro-AMC by dipeptidyl peptidase DPP8 and DPP9. ICeD-2 shows strong stabilization of DPP9 in PBMCs^[1].

ICeD-2 potently blocks hydrolysis of Gly-Pro-AMC by dipeptidyl peptidase DPP8 and DPP9. ICeD-2 displays exquisite selectivity across this panel of peptidases and had a >3000× fold selectivity window over both DPP4 and DPP7^[1].
In WT THP-1 cells, ICeD-2 treatment leads to loss of GFP-positive cells, whereas in the absence of CARD8 (caspase recruitment domain family member 8), CASP-1 (caspase-1), or GSDMD (gasdermin-D), ICeD-2 has little to no effect on the number of GFP-positive cells^[1].
