In vitro
In vitro Ac-DEVD-CHO is a potent inhibitor of caspase-3 (Ki = 230 pM). In contrast, caspase-2 cleaves the tetrapeptide substrate poorly and is only weakly inhibited by this aldehyde (Ki = 1.7 μM). Group III caspases are broadly inhibited by Ac-DEVD-CHO with Ki values ranging from 1 to 300 nM[1]. Inhibition of caspase-3 by Ac-DEVD-CHO in isolated working-heart rat model significantly improves post-ischemic contractile recovery of stunned myocardium, even when given after the onset of ischemia. The mechanism(s) of protection by Ac-DEVD-CHO appear to be independent of apoptosis. Troponin I cleavage was not inhibited by Ac-DEVD-CHO[2].
Cell Research Cell lines MEFs
Concentrations 20, 50 μM
Incubation Time 2 h
Method

Apaf-1−/− cells were treated with the indicated concentration of Ac-DEVD-CHO for 2 h prior to treatment with 4 μM CHX alone or with TNF for 6 h. LEHDase and DEVDase activities were standardized to the lactate dehydrogenase activity in the sample and are presented as percentages of the activity in TNF-plus-CHX-treated cells not treated with Ac-DEVD-CHO (0 μM).
In Vivo
In vivo Ac-DEVD-CHO administered at the time of MI results in a 61% reduction in activated caspase-3 expression in cardiomyocytes (p<0.05), and an 84% reduction in cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the young animals. However, in the aging mice, caspase inhibition had no effect on activated caspase-3 expression or cardiomyocyte apoptosis[4]. Ac-DEVD-CHO suppressed and/or delayed the progression of photoreceptor cell damage in rats and delays disease progression in rd gene-carring mice, which normally develop retinal degeneration early in life[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.
