Uses
N-Boc-L-aspartic acid 4-methyl ester fluoromethyl ketone is used as a novel Boc-D(OMe)-FMK inhibitor synthesized using proprietary technology and irreversibly binds to activated caspases to block apoptosis. It is useful for in vitro and in vivo applications.
Uses
Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone (Boc-D-fmk) has been used as a caspase inhibitor to study its effects on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, apoptosis and virus proliferation in chorion cells , as a component of the transplantation medium for the transplantation of human embryonic stem cells (ESC)-derived medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) cells into hippocampus of mice , as a protease inhibitor to study its effects on cell death in parasites .
Biochem/physiol Actions
Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone (Boc-D-fmk) permits cell permeability. It is a caspase inhibitor and suppresses apoptosis induced by various kinds of stimuli. Boc-D-fmk poorly inhibits caspases-2, -5, -6 and -10.
