BOC-D-FMK (Cat No.:I004394) is a cell-permeable, irreversible caspase inhibitor commonly used in research related to apoptosis and caspase-dependent cell death pathways. It belongs to the class of peptide-based caspase inhibitors. BOC-D-FMK acts by irreversibly binding to the active site of caspases, particularly caspase-1, caspase-3, caspase-6, caspase-7, and caspase-8, inhibiting their enzymatic activity. This inhibition prevents the proteolytic cleavage of caspase substrates and subsequent apoptosis induction. BOC-D-FMK has been employed in various experimental settings to investigate the role of caspases in cellular processes, including apoptosis, inflammation, and immune responses. It serves as a valuable tool for studying caspase-dependent signaling pathways and evaluating the therapeutic potential of caspase inhibition in different disease contexts.
