Product Description: Z-WEHD-FMK is a potent, cell-permeable and irreversible caspase-1/5 inhibitor. Z-WEHD-FMK also exhibits a robust inhibitory effect on cathepsin B activity (IC50=6 μM). Z-WEHD-FMK can be used to investigate cells for evidence of apoptosis[1][2][4].
Applications: Cancer-Kinase/protease
Formula: C37H42FN7O10
