    Description

    Z-LEHD-FMK is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of caspase-9, protects against lethal reperfusion injury and attenuates apoptosis. Z-LEHD-FMK exhibits the neuroprotective effect in a rat model of spinal cord trauma[1][2][3].

    IC50 & Target[1]

    Caspase-9

     

    In Vitro

    Z-LEHD-FMK (20 μM; pretreated for 30 min) completely protects HCT116 and 293 cells from TRAIL-induced toxicity[1].
    Z-LEHD-FMK (20 μM ; 6 h) protects normal human hepatocytes from TRAIL-induced apoptosis[1].

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

    Apoptosis Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: SW480, H460, HCT116 and 293 cells
    Concentration: 20 μM
    Incubation Time: Pretreated for 30 min
    Result: Protected HCT116 and 293 cells from TRAIL-induced apoptosis.

    Western Blot Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: HCT116, SW480 cells
    Concentration: 20 μM
    Incubation Time: 2 h
    Result: Protected procaspase 3 from cleavage in HCT116 cells but not in SW480 cells, especially at the 16-h time point.
    In Vivo

    Z-LEHD-FMK (0.8 μmol/kg; i.v. for 7 d) protects neurons, glia, myelin, axons, and intracellular organelles in spinal cord injury (SCI) rats[2].

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

    Animal Model: Male Wistar albino rats (250-350 g) with SCI[2]
    Dosage: 0.8 μmol/kg
    Administration: I.v. for 1 or 7 days
    Result: Decreased the mean apoptotic cell count at 24 hours and 7 days postinjury.

    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.
