Description

Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK (Z-Val-Ala-Asp(OMe)-FMK) is a cell-permeable and irreversible pan-caspase inhibitor^[1]. Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK is an ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) inhibitor. Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK irreversibly modifies UCHL1 by targeting the active site of UCHL1^[2].

IC₅₀ & Target^[1]

Caspase

In Vitro

Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK (Z-Val-Ala-Asp(OMe)-FMK) is a broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor, has been shown to inhibit the intracellular activation of caspase-like proteases. The injection of Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK suppresses the caspase-3 activity in lung tissues, and significantly decreases the number of terminal dUTP nick-end labeling-positive cells^[1]. Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK effectively inhibits UCHL1's reaction with hemagglutinin-tagged ubiquitin vinylmethyl ester (HA-UbVME) at the concentration of 100 μM^[2]. Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK is administered intraperitoneally at 1 hour before and 6 hours after SAH. Expression of caspase-3 and positive TUNEL is examined as markers for apoptosis. Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK suppresses TUNEL and caspase-3 staining in endothelial cells, decreases caspase-3 activation, reduces BBB permeability, relieves vasospasm, abolishes brain edema, and improves neurological outcome^[3]. Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK is a cell-permeable caspase inhibitor, efficiently blocks cell death induced by SMN deficiency^[4].

* Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Protocol 1

Add each solvent one by one: 5% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 50% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.62 mg/mL (5.60 mM); Clear solution
Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 5% DMSO 95% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.62 mg/mL (5.60 mM); Clear solution
Protocol 3

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.35 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Protocol 4

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.35 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
Protocol 5

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.35 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.
Protocol 6

Add each solvent one by one: 1% DMSO 99% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 0.52 mg/mL (1.11 mM); Clear solution
