Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

L-709049, also known as Ac-YVAD-CHO, is a potent and selective inhibitor of interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE), also known as caspase-1, with Ki values of 3.0 nM in mice and 0.76 nM in humans. It functions by reversibly binding to caspase-1, thereby suppressing the production of mature interleukin-1β (IL-1β), a key pro-inflammatory cytokine. This compound has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity and the ability to inhibit cancer cell growth in preclinical studies.

Product Data
Biological target:
Ac-YVAD-CHO (L-709049) is a potent, reversible, specific tetrapeptide interleukin-lβ converting enzyme (ICE) inhibitor with mouse and human Ki values of 3.0 and 0.76 nM.
In vitro activity:
Pre-treatment with Ac-YVAD-CHO inhibited QA-induced internucleosomal DNA fragmentation. Ac-YVAD-CHO inhibited QA-induced increases in caspase-1 activity and p53 protein levels, but had no effect on QA-induced IkappaB-alpha degradation, NF-kappaB or AP-1 activation. Reference: Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2005 Feb;26(2):150-4. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15663890/
In vivo activity:
These data demonstrate that administration of the caspase-1 inhibitor Ac-YVAD-CHO by inhalation is able to reduce the pulmonary and systemic release of proinflammatory mediators in rat endotoxaemia. Reference: Intensive Care Med. 2007 May;33(5):863-871. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17384935/
