Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethylketone

Other Product Data

Prepare a 20mM stock solution of the caspase inhibitor in DMSO. Add 1µl of above stock solutions to 1ml of culture medium containing cells to give 20µM final concentration. We recommend to ensure the residual amount of DMSO is insignificant (<0.1%), since it may have physiological effects at low concentrations and thus masking the effect of the ICE-protease inhibitor Boc-D(OMe)-FMK. For in vivo experiments extending for 12 to 48 hours, fresh inhibitor may have to be added (injected) due to inactivation by reaction with cysteine protease.

Description
  • Cell permeable, irreversible, broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor. Inhibits non-caspase cysteine proteases, as well as cathepsins H and L. Can be used for in vitro and in vivo studies.
  • Contains a methyl ester group, which facilitates uptake by cells and subsequently is removed by cytoplasmic esterases, leaving the functional inhibitor.
  • Inhibits the pro-apoptotic effect of TNF-α (IC50=39µM). Shown to reduce the activation of NF-kB, suppresses the phosphorylation of IkBα and inhibits TNF-induced expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.
  • Blocks hepatocyte apoptosis in vivo.
  • Neuroprotective.
