Product Description
Ac-YVAD-cmk (Caspase-1 Inhibitor II) is a selective caspase-1 (IL-1β converting enzyme, ICE) inhibitor (antagonist) with neuro-protective (neuro-protection) and anti~inflammatory effects. Ac-YVAD-cmk can effectively inhibit the expression of IL-1β and IL-18. Ac-YVAD-cmk can inhibit pyroptosis in a variety of diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The expression of IL-1β and IL-18 in activated astrocytes is decreased in vitro by Ac-YVAD-cmk (40 μM or 80 μM) [2].
ln Vivo
Mature IL-1β/IL-18 Log-rank analysis revealed that Ac-YVAD-cmk (ac-YVAD-cmk receiving a dose of 12.5 μMol/kg) significantly reduced the test from 83% to 33% when compared to the ICH group. Ac-YVAD-cmk treatment (1 μg/staple; SD stack; injected into the left ventricle) significantly reduced the protein levels of caspase-1 (p20).

Additional Infomation
Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-chloromethylketone is a tetrapeptide composed of L-tyrosine, L-valine, L-alanine, and L-aspartic acid joined in sequence by peptide linkages and in which the amino terminus in substituted by an acetyl group and the carboxy terminus is substituted by a chloromethyl group. It has a role as an EC 3.4.22.36 (caspase-1) inhibitor, a neuroprotective agent and a nephroprotective agent. It is a tetrapeptide and an organochlorine compound. It is functionally related to a N-acetyl-L-tyrosine, a L-valine, a L-alanine and a L-aspartic acid.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~184.85 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.84 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.84 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 1.8485 mL 9.2423 mL 18.4846 mL
5 mM 0.3697 mL 1.8485 mL 3.6969 mL
10 mM 0.1848 mL 0.9242 mL 1.8485 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
