15-acetoxyscirpenol, one of acetoxyscirpenol moiety mycotoxins (ASMs), strongly induces apoptosis and inhibits Jurkat T cell growth in a dose-dependent manner by activating other caspases independent of caspase-3[1].
Ac-AAVALLPAVLLALLAP-DEVD-CHO (DEVD-CHO-CPP 32) is a potent and reversible caspase-3 inhibitor[1].
Fenbufen-d9 (CL-82204-d9) is the deuterium labeled Fenbufen. Fenbufen (CL-82204) is an orally active non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), with analgetic and antipyretic effects. Fenbufen has potent activity in a variety of animal model, including carageenin edema, UV erythema and adjuvant arthritis. Fenbufen has inhibitory activities against COX-1 and COX-2 with IC50s of 3.9 μM and 8.1 μM, respectively. Fenbufen is a caspases (caspase-1, 3, 4, 5, 9) inhibitor[1][2][3][4][5].
Ungeremine, a phenanthridine type alkaloid, is extracted of the bulbs of Pancratium Illyricum. Ungeremine effectively targets mammalian as well as bacterial type I and type II topoisomerases. Ungeremine displays cytotoxic activity towards the 9 cancer cell lines, including drug-sensitive and MDR phenotypes. Ungeremine induced ferroptosis, necroptosis, autophagy as well as apoptosis mediated by caspase activation, MMP alteration and increase ROS production[1][2].
Ac-VAD-pNA is a caspase-1 substrate. Ac-VAD-pNA can be used to detect caspase-1 activity[1].
Biotin-DEVD-CHO can be used for affinity labeling of Caspase-8 following in vitro caspase cleavage[1].
Ac-VRPR-AMC is a fluorogenic metacaspase substrate. Ac-VRPR-AMC can be used to tests metacaspase activity[1].
Ginsenoside Rh2 is isolated from the root of Ginseng. Ginsenoside Rh2 induces the activation of caspase-8 and caspase-9. Ginsenoside Rh2 induces cancer cell apoptosis in a multi-path manner.
KEA1-97 (KEA 1-97) is a small molecule that disrupts the interaction of thioredoxin with caspase 3; activates caspases, and induces apoptosis without affecting thioredoxin activity, impairs triple-negative breast cancer cell survival; impairs in vivo breast tumor xenograft growth.
Cimiside E (25-Anhydrocimigenol xyloside) is a triterpene xyloside, Cimiside E possesses apoptotic action on gastric cancer cells, with an IC50 value of 14.58 μM. Cimiside E induces cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, and mediates apoptosis through the induction of the Caspase cascade for both the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways[1][2].
Pipernonaline is a piperine derivative with antiprostate cancer activity. Pipernonaline inhibits the proliferation of androgen-dependent/independent LNCaP/PC-3 prostate cells. Pipernonaline activates caspase-3 and promotes procaspase-3/PARP cleavage. Pipernonaline also mediates reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, increased intracellular Ca(2+), and mitochondrial membrane depolarization[1].
Tauroursodeoxycholate-d4 is deuterium labeled Tauroursodeoxycholate. Tauroursodeoxycholate (Tauroursodeoxycholic acid) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor. Tauroursodeoxycholate significantly reduces expression of apoptosis molecules, such as caspase-3 and caspase-12. Tauroursodeoxycholate also inhibits ERK.
cRIPGBM(chloride), an orally active, proapoptotic derivative. cRIPGBM can be generated from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cancer stem cells (CSCs). cRIPGBM(chloride) targets to receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2) to induce caspase 1-dependent apoptosis. cRIPGBM(chloride) suppresses the formation of RIPK2/TAK1 (prosurvival complex), and increases the formation of RIPK2/caspase 1 (proapoptotic complex). cRIPGBM(chloride) exerts potent anti-tumor activity in vivo in animal models[1].
BBR-BODIPY is a fluorescent probe that allows screening its interaction with the targeted cells. BBR-BODIPY induces apoptosis and changes the expression of apoptosis-related proteins[1].
Z-VEID-AFC is a fluorescent substrate for caspase-6[1].
MX1013 is a potent, irreversible dipeptide caspase inhibitor vith antiapoptotic activity. MX1013 inhibits recombinant human caspase 3 with an IC50 of 30 nM[1].
JQAD1 is a CRBN-dependent PROTAC that selectively targets EP300 for degradation. JQAD1 suppresses EP300 expression and the H3K27ac modification. JQAD1 induces apoptosis. JQAD1 can be used in research of cancer[1].
Ossirene (AS101), an immunomodulatory tellurium compound, is a potent IL-1β inhibitor[1]. Ossirene abolishes phosphorylation of STAT3 by inhibiting IL-10. Ossirene potently inhibits Caspase-1 and is used for the autoimmune diseases and certain malignancies[2][3][4].
