Description | Cell permeable, non-selective broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor [1, 3, 7, 8]. Binds irreversibly to the catalytic site of caspase proteases [1]. The peptide is O-methylated in the P1 position on aspartic acid, providing enhanced stability and increased cell permeability [1]. Inhibits ICE-family protease/caspase processing, leading to apoptosis and autophagy induction [2-4, 6, 9]. Decreases proteasome activity [5]. Potent inhibitor of caspase-1 activation in NLRP3/NALP3-induced cells [10]. Used in apoptosis and inflammasome studies. |
