Application

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 .

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

Following ventral root avulsion in neonatal animals, the degeneration of spinal motoneurons occurs by an apoptotic-like morphological pathway. In adult animals, however, the mechanism of degeneration of injured motoneurons is still controversial. Because caspases are important mediators of apoptosis, we

Adiponectin, an adipose tissue-derived hormone, has been studied intensively for the past decade because of its anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic, and anti-diabetic properties. Recent advances suggest that adiponectin also plays an important role in the development and progression of various cancers. Accumulating
