Use | Labelled PAC-1 is a caspase 3 activator. Caspase activation is a key strategy in cancer therapy. Caspase 3 is a key executive caspase and direct effector of apotosis. Hallmark of many caners is th e circuit of signal in the activation of executive caspases and loss of apoptotic response. EC50 for caspase 3 activation = 0.33 μM and caspase 7= 4.5 μM. The IC50 for apoptosis induction = 0. 92 μM. Elevated caspase 3 level in cancerous cell lines and tissues allows PAC-1 to selectively induce apoptosis in tissues. |
