Z-WEHD-FMK (80 μM; 9 hours) elicits a near-complete blockage of C. trachomatis-induced cleavage of golgin-84 and increases GM130 expression in cells[1].Z-WEHD-FMK (30?min before being exposed to?E. piscicida) effectively inhibits 0909I?E. piscicida?induced ZF4 cells cytotoxicity and pyroptotic morphology. And in addition, it also inhibits the cytotoxicity induced by cytosolic LPS delivery[2].Z-WEHD-FMK (20 μM;18-24 hours following Cr3+,Ni2+, and Co2+) significantly induces a decrease of 76% to 86% in IL-1β release with 200 to 400 ppm Cr3+, it also induces a decrease of 35% to 45% with 48 ppm Ni2+ or higher, Finally, this caspase-1 inhibitor induced a decrease with 6 ppm Co2+, down to a level below the detection threshold, and a decrease of 40% to 48% with 12 to 24 ppm Co2+ in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM)[3].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (130.93 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.27 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.27 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
