Description
Necrostatin-1 is a specific RIP1 inhibitor and inhibits TNF-α-induced necroptosis with EC50 of 490 nM in 293T cells.
Features
A powerful tool for characterizing the role of necroptosis with characterized primary target.
In vitro
Necrostatin-1 (1-100 μM) inhibits the autophosphorylation of overexpressed and endogenous RIP1.It is found RIP1 is the primary cellular target responsible for the antinecroptosis activity of Necrostatin-1. Necrostatin-1 efficiently suppresses necroptotic cell death triggered by an array of stimuli in a variety of cell types. Necrostatin-1, previously identified as small-molecule inhibitor of necroptosis, inhibits RIP kinase-induced necroptosis and inhibits TNF-α-induced necroptosis in jurkat cells with EC50 of 490 nM.
Uses
Necrostatin-1 is a specific RIP1 inhibitor and inhibits TNF-α-induced necroptosis with EC50 of 490 nM.
Uses
Necroptosis is a regulated caspase-independent cell death mechanism that results in morphological features resembling necrosis. Necrostatin-1 is an inhibitor of RIP1 kinase that prevents the death of TNF-α-treated FADD-deficient Jurkat cells. Necrostatin-1 has been used to investigate the pathological importance of necroptosis in ischemic brain injury and myocardial infarction.
Biological Activity
ATP-competitive death domain receptor-associated adaptor kinase (RIP1) allosteric inhibitor (EC 50 = 182 nM). Blocks non-apoptotic cell death via inhibition of a specific cellular pathway, necroptosis, which leads to necrosis (EC 50 = 494 nM). Reduces ischemic brain injury in a mouse model of stroke.
