Description of Ac-DEVD-CHO

Ac-DEVD-CHO is a Caspase-3 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.016μM[1]. Ac-DEVD-CHO also has inhibitory activity against other caspase family members, but is more selective for caspase-3, with a Ki value of 0.23nM [2]. Ac-DEVD-CHO inhibits the apoptosis process by inhibiting the activity of caspases, and can be used to study the apoptosis process and related diseases, such as retinal degeneration[3].

In vitro, Ac-DEVD-CHO (10μM) treated osteoclasts (OCLs) for 24 h, partially blocking sinomenine-induced apoptosis and reducing the number of apoptotic nuclei [4]. Ac-DEVD-CHO (100μM) treated vascular smooth muscle cells for 48 hours, significantly reducing the expression level of caspase-3 and inhibiting artesunate-induced apoptosis [5].

In vivo, Ac-DEVD-CHO (2mg/kg) treated mice with hereditary retinitis through intraperitoneal injection, effectively inhibiting photoreceptor cell apoptosis and temporarily delaying retinal degeneration[6]. Ac-DEVD-CHO (4mg/kg) was injected subcutaneously into mice with acute kidney injury and significantly reduced serum BUN, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 concentrations and renal cell apoptosis rate [7].

Protocol of Ac-DEVD-CHO

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

OCLs 

Preparation method

OCLs were incubated with RANKL and treated with 0.5 mmol/L SIN with or without the specific caspase-3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO (10μM) for 24 h. 

Reaction Conditions

10μM; 24 h 

Applications

Ac-DEVD-CHO partially blocked the effect of SIN-induced apoptosis and reduced the number of apoptotic nuclei.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C3H and ICR mice

Preparation method

Starting at 8 days of age, 40 C3H and 40 ICR pups received an i.p. injection of 2 mg/kg body weight of Ac-DEVD-CHO or saline every other day.Ten C3H and ICR mice per group were randomly selected and killed at 13 days of age, and the remaining 10 C3H and ICR mice in each group were killed at 17 days.

Dosage form

2mg/kg; i.p.

Applications

Ac-DEVD-CHO transiently delays inherited retinal degeneration in C3H mice carrying the rd gene.
