| Bioactivity | M50054 is a potent inhibitor of apoptosis. M50054 inhibits Etoposide-induced caspase-3 activation of U937 cells with an IC50 of 79 μg/mL. M50054 does not directly inhibit the enzymatic activity of caspase-3. M50054 can be used for the research anti-Fas-antibody-induced hepatitis and chemotherapy-induced alopecia[1]. |
| Invitro | M50054 inhibits the caspase-3 activation by Etoposide in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 value of M50054 against Etoposide-induced caspase-3 activation of U937 cells is 79 μg/mL. However, M50054 does not directly inhibit the enzymatic activity of caspase-3 at all concentrations up to 1000 μg/mL[1].M50054 (1-300 μg/mL) inhibits soluble human Fas ligand-induced cell death of human Fas-expressing WC8 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the IC50 of 67 μg/mL[1].M50054 (30-300 μg/mL) inhibits the death of U937 cells induced by etoposide (10 μg/mL) in a dose-dependent manner, and the IC50 value of M50054 against Etoposide-induced cell death of U937 cells is 130 μg/mL. The IC50 value of M50054 against etoposide-induced DNA fragmentation of U937 cells was 54 μg/mL[1]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: |
