caspase-6-in-1

Caspase-6-IN-1 is a novel Allosteric Inhibitor of Caspase-6 Activation, blocking the interaction between C6 and mHTT1-586.

Bfl-1-IN-6 (Compound 20) is an orally active inhibitor of Bcl-2-related protein A1 (BFL1) with an IC50 of 19 nM. This compound can stabilize BFL1 protein, activate cleaved caspase 3, and demonstrates antitumor activity in mouse models.

Ac-VEID-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate based on the caspase-6 cleavage site in lamin A at amino acids VEID during apoptosis.1It has also been reported to be cleaved by related proteases, including caspase-8.2Caspase activity can be quantified by fluorescent detection of free AMC (also known as 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin), which is excited at 340-360 nm and emits at 440-460 nm. 1.Talanian, R.V., Quinlan, C., Trautz, S., et al.Substrate specificities of caspase family proteasesJ.

LL-37 is a cationic and α-helical antimicrobial peptide expressed in human bone marrow, testis, granulocytes, and gingival epithelium and is upregulated in psoriatic lesions. It inhibits growth of Gram-positive E. coli D21 and Gram-negative B. megatarium in a concentration-dependent manner and LL-37 expression is induced in A549 epithelial cells, alveolar macrophages, neutrophils, and monocyte-derived macrophages following M. tuberculosis infection. LL-37 binds sheep erythrocytes coated with S. minnesota Re-LPS and induces agglutination with a minimal agglutinating concentration (MAC) of 12.1 μg/ml. It is a chemoattractant for, and can induce calcium mobilization in, human monocytes, neutrophils, and T cells that naturally express formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1) and FPRL1-transfected HEK293 cells. LL-37 (10-15 μM) pretreatment of dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) reduces its infectivity as well as levels of viral genomic RNA and NS1 antigen. In vivo, LL-37 inhibits cecal ligation and puncture-induced caspase-1 activation and pyroptosis of peritoneal macrophages, reduces levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and improves survival in polybacterial septic mice.

1. 5,7-Dihydroxychromone (5,7-Dihydroxy-4H-Chromen-4-One) isolated from DME is one of the active compounds that may contribute to regulate blood glucose levels. 2. 5,7-Dihydroxychromone exerts neuroprotective effect against 6-OHDA-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis by activating Nrf2 ARE signal . 3. 5,7-Dihydroxychromone induces the translocation of Nrf2 to the nucleus and increases Nrf2 ARE binding activity which results in the up-regulation of the expression of Nrf2-dependent antioxidant genes, including HO-1, NQO1, and GCLc.

AKN-028 acetate, a novel tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitor, is a potent, orally active FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 6 nM. It inhibits FLT3 autophosphorylation and induces a dose-dependent cytotoxic response (mean IC50 = 1 μM). AKN-028 acetate also induces apoptosis by activation of caspase 3 and can be used in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) research [1].

1. Mulberroside has nephroprotective, hypoglycemic, and antidiabetic effects. 2. Mulberroside A is a glycosylated stilbene of oxyresveratrol; thus, the deglycosylation of Mulberroside A resulted in enhanced inhibition of melanogenesis. 3. Mulberroside A has anti-inflammatory antiapoptotic effects. by decreasing the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 and inhibiting the activation of NALP3, caspase-1, and nuclear factor-κB and the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases, the c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38.

AC-VEID-CHO (TFA) is a peptide-derived inhibitor targeting Caspases-6, -3, and -7, with IC50 values of 16.2 nM, 13.6 nM, and 162.1 nM, respectively. This compound demonstrates significant inhibitory potency and is applicable in the study of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease [1].

HDAC-IN-53 is an orally active, selective inhibitor of HDAC1-3, with IC50 values of 47 nM, 125 nM, and 450 nM, respectively. It exhibits no inhibitory effects on class II HDACs (HDAC4, 5, 6, 7, 9; IC50 >10 μM). The compound induces caspase-dependent apoptosis and significantly hampers the growth of human tumor xenografts in nude mice and murine tumor growth in immune-competent mice with MC38 colon cancer [1].

Fluorescein-6-carbonyl-Asp(OMe)-Glu(OMe)-Val-DL-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethylketone is a cell-permeable, non-toxic inhibitor that irreversibly binds to activated caspase-3 in apoptotic cells, with fluorescence intensity measurable via flow cytometry, microwell plate reader, or fluorescence microscopy [1].
