Quick Overview for Z-DEVD-FMK (Caspase-3 Inhibitor) (ABIN2691058)

Application

Functional Studies (Func), Cell Culture (CC), Blocking Reagent (BR), Inhibition Assay (InhA)

Chemical Name

Z-DEVD-fluoromethylketone

Permeability

Cell-permeable

Purpose

A caspase-3 inhibitor

Sequence

Z-Asp(OMe)-Glu(OMe)-Val-Asp(OMe)-CH2F, Z-DEVD-FMK

Characteristics

Members of the caspase family play key roles in inflammation and mammalian apoptosis. Z-DEVD-FMK is an irreversible and cell permeable inhibitor of caspase-3. The peptide is O-methylated in the P1 position on aspartic acid providing enhanced stability and increased cell permeability. This inhibitor can be used to inhibit caspase-3 activity and to study events downsteam of caspase-3 activation. Z-DEVD-FMK has a molecular weight of 668 Daltons. Flow cytometric analysis of apoptosis in Jurkat cells (Human T-cell leukemia, ATCC TIB-152). Jurkat cells were preincubated with the following: no inhibitor (upper left and bottom left panels), 20 μM Z-DEVD-FMK (upper center and bottom center panels) or 20 μM of a negative control inhibitor Z-FA-FMK (upper right and bottom right panels) for 30 minutes, and then either left untreated (bottom row) or treated with 4 μM of campthothecin for 3 hr (top row). Following incubation, cells were collected and stained with PE Annexin V (Cat. No. 559763) to identify cells undergoing apoptosis. The results indicate that in campthothecin treated cells, approximately 42 % of the cells were induced to undergo apoptosis and the use of the caspase-3 inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK reduced the level of apoptosis to that observed in untreated controls. Cells treated with Z-FA-FMK (Cat. No. 550411) showed similar results to the treated cells without inhibitor, indicating that the control inhibitor did not attenuate apoptosis.
