Boc-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone

应用

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 .

生化/生理作用

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.
