Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Caco-2 (ATCC Number HTB-37)

Preparation method

Limited solubility. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reaction Conditions

48 h

Applications

Z-YVAD-FMK significantly downregulates the growth inhibition induced by butyrate in Caco-2 Cells. Complete abrogation of butyrate’s effect occurs at an inhibitor concentration of 100 μmol/L, indicating that caspase-1 inhibitor significantly alters the caspase cascade, diminishing the butyrate-induced apoptotic effect.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Albino Wistar rats

Dosage form

Rats were injected intravenously (2 μL) with caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (1.06 mM in 2% DMSO)

Applications

Immediately before exposure to damaging light, YVAD significantly reduces caspase-1 activity to 51% ± 34% but has no effect on caspase-3 activity (98% ± 5%). Exposed-YVAD retinas showed caspase-1 activities of 66% ± 33%, respectively. These values were significantly (P < 0.02 and P < 0.004, respectively) lower than in the Exposed-DMSO group.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.

Background

Z-YVAD-FMK is a potent cell-permeable and irreversible inhibitor of caspase-1.
In Caco-2 cells, Z-YVAD-FMK significantly decreased the growth inhibition induced by butyrate. Complete abrogation of butyrate’s effect occurred at an inhibitor concentration of 100 mol/L. It is indicated that caspase-1 inhibitor significantly alters the caspase cascade, diminishing the butyrate-induced apoptotic effect [1]. After treated with Alum reflected caspase-1 activation, IL-1-release in cells was blocked by Z-YVAD-FMK. This effect was observed even in MyD88-deficient bone marrow DC [2].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
