COA Handling Instructions

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.

In Vitro

Z-FA-FMK ((1S)-Z-FA-FMK; 5-100 μM; 1 h; Jurkat cells) reduces levels of DEVDase activity and DNA fragmentation. Z-FA-FMK inhibits the externalization of phosphatidylserine induced by either MX2870-1 or MX781[1].
Z-FA-FMK (100 μM; 1 h; Jurkat cells) inhibits apoptosis. Z-FA-FMK inhibited the induction of DEVDase activity not only by the RRMs but also by other apoptotic insults, including etoposide-, ceramide-, and CD95/Fas receptor-mediated pathways[1].
Z-FA-FMK (0-100 μM; 1 h; Jurkat cells) inhibits caspases 2, -3, -6, and -7 activity through repressed induction of DEVDase activity in Jurkat cells[1].
Z-FA-FMK (0-20 μM; 48 h; HT1080 and mouse embryonic stem cells) blocks reoviral replication and cures cells of a persistent infection with reovirus in vitro[2].
Z-FA-FMK (20 μM; 48 h; HT1080 cells) induces defects in reoviral maturation[2].

In Vivo

Z-FA-FMK (1 mg/kg; intratumor injection; every 2 d, for 27 d; SCID mice with HT1080 xenograft) blocks reovirus infection in vivo[2].
Z-FA-FMK (8 mg/kg; i.v.; every 2 d, once; male BALB/c mice) markedly lessens the degree of impairment seen in D-GalN/TNF-α-induced kidney injury[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: SCID mice with HT1080 xenograft (6-8 weeks)[2]
Dosage: 1 mg/kg
Administration: Intratumor injection; every 2 days, for 27 days
Result: Blocked reovirus replication activity in both tumor and heart tissues.
Animal Model: Male BALB/c mice[3]
Dosage: 8 mg/kg
Administration: Intravenous injection; once, 1 hour later, intraperitoneal injection D-GalN (700 mg/kg) and TNF-α (15 μg/kg).
Result: Decreased in the D-GalN/TNF-α-induced degenerative changes.
Decreased in the number of activated caspase-3-positive tubular epithelial cell.
Increased in kidney GSH levels, CAT, SOD and GPx activities and decreased in kidney LPO levels, LDH activity, serum AST and ALT activities, uric acid, and urea levels were determined.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.38 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.38 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
