Taurodeoxycholic acid (Taurodeoxychloic acid) is a bile acid taurine conjugate of deoxycholic acid, a human metabolite that stabilizes mitochondrial membranes and reduces the formation of free radicals.Taurodeoxycholic acid inhibits apoptosis by blocking calcium-mediated apoptotic pathways and by activation of caspase-12. Taurodeoxycholic acid has neuroprotective activity and has been used to study 3-nitropropionic acid-induced or stabilized hereditary Huntington's chorea (HD).

Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone (Boc-Asp(OMe)-FMK) is a broad range caspase inhibitor. Boc-Asp(OME)-Fluoromethyl Ketone inhibits Fas-mediated phagocytosis and oxidative rupture inhibition, but does not affect the chemotactic activity of IL-8.

Belnacasan (VX-765) is an orally active inhibitor of IL-converting enzyme caspase-1.

Tauroursodeoxycholate (UR 906), also known as ursodoxicoltaurine, is a highly hydrophilic tertiary bile acid that is produced in humans at a low concentration. Tauroursodeoxycholate is the more hydrophilic form of ursodeoxycholic acid, which is the more abundant naturally produced bile acid in humans.Tauroursodeoxycholate is being investigated for use in several conditions such as Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC), insulin resistance, amyloidosis, Cystic Fibrosis, Cholestasis, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Ac-FLTD-CMK is an inhibitor derived from abscisicin D (GSDMDD) with specific inhibitory effects on inflammatory caspases. ac-FLTD-CMK showed inhibitory effects on caspases-1, caspases-4 and caspases-11 with IC50s of 46.7 nM, 1.49 μM and 329 nM, respectively. Ac-FLTD-CMK showed potency against caspases-1, caspases-4 and caspases-11, but not against apoptosis-associated caspase-3.

Lasiodin (Lasiokaurin) is a diterpene compound from the plant Camellia sinensis that inhibits the proliferation of NPC cells. Lasiodin has antioxidant, antitumor and antibacterial activities, induces cell cycle length and apoptosis, induces cell migration and invasion, and can be used in the study of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Se-Methylselenocysteine (Se-MSC) is a potent chemopreventive agent in many test systems and has been shown to inhibit tumor promotion and induce apoptosis.

Taurochenodeoxycholic Acid (12-Deoxycholyltaurine) is one of the main bioactive substances of animals' bile acid.

MJN68390 has an apparent IC50 value of 15 μM against CASP8 and shows no activity against CASP10.

Anisperimus (LF 15-0195) is an immunosuppressant that enhances activation-induced T-cell death by promoting caspase-8 and caspase-10 activation at the DISC level, and prevents CNS autoimmunity by promoting the development of Foxp3-expressing regulatory CD4 T cells.

Ac-YVAD-CMK (Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-CMK) is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of Caspase-1 and inhibits pyroptosis, IL-1β and IL-18. Ac-YVAD-CMK shows neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory capacity.

Heptelidic acid (Koningic acid) is a sesquiterpenoid lactone antibiotic derived from the probiotic fungus Aspergillus oryzae, a selective GAPDH inhibitor. It downregulates caspase to inhibit etoposide-induced apoptosis. Heptelidic acid inhibits tau fibrillation in a concentration-dependent manner and exerts antitumor effects on extra-intestinal melanoma by controlling glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity.

AA-Z-YVAD-FMK is a Irreversible caspase-1 inhibitor,with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities.
