Biological Activity

Description Emricasan (IDN-6556, PF 03491390, PF-03491390) is a potent irreversible pan-caspase inhibitor. Emricasan is an inhibitor of Zika virus infection.
Targets
caspase [1]
In vitro Emricasan, also called IDN-6556 or PF-03491390, is an inhibitor of activated caspases, and it has sub- to nanomolar activity in vitro. Emricasan shows neuroprotective activity for hNPCs but does not suppress ZIKV replication[2].
In vivo Emricasan decreases liver injury but not metabolic derangement in NASH. It also ameliorates inflammation. In the murine NASH model, stellate cell activation and hepatic fibrogenesis are attenuated by administration of the pan-caspase inhibitor Emricasan[1]. Emricasan is currently being evaluated in phase 2 clinical trials for the reduction of hepatic injury and liver fibrosis caused by chronic HCV infection[2].

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:[2]
  • Cell lines

    Astrocytes

  • Concentrations

    9 μM

  • Incubation Time

    1 h

  • Method

    Astrocytes are mock-infected, treated with DMSO or treated with 2 μM niclosamide, 92 μM PHA-690509, 9 μM emricasan, or a combination of 92 μM PHA-690509 and 9 μM emricasan for 1 h before infection with PRVABC59 (MOI = 0.5). Cells are fixed 24 h after infection and stained for ZIKVE and nuclei.
Animal Study:[1]

    C57BL/6J mice

  • Dosages

    0.3mg/kg/day

  • Administration
