Ac-DEVD-CHO

Ac-DEVD-CHO/CAS No.169332-60-9 is a chemical compound used in research and drug development. It is an inhibitor of caspase enzymes, particularly caspase-3, which plays a crucial role in programmed cell death (apoptosis). The compound is designed to irreversibly bind to the active site of the enzyme, inhibiting its function and preventing programmed cell death from occurring. Ac-DEVD-CHO is often used in studies to better understand the mechanisms of apoptosis and to develop potential therapeutic interventions for diseases where apoptosis regulation plays a critical role, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
