ProtocolIn VitroZ-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.
In VivoThe survival rate of mice is prolonged significantly by the injection of Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK (Z-Val-Ala-Asp(OMe)-FMK). All mice succumbed to LPS within 30 hours. By contrast, the mice treated with Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK survive significantly longer and 27% of the mice survived more than 7 days.

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 add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
