Z-VEID-FMK (Z-VE(OMe)ID(OMe)-FMK) is a selective and irreversible caspase-6 peptide inhibitor. Z-VEID-FMK alleviates the S-(+)-ketamine-induced augmentation of caspase-6 activity, DNA fragmentation, and cell apoptosis[1][2].
Z-VEID-FMK (Z-VE(OMe)ID(OMe)-FMK; pretreated 50 μM; for 1 h) decreases S-(+)-ketamine (200 μM; for another 16 h)-induced caspase-6 activity by 53% and apoptotic by 58%, alleviated S-(+)-ketamine-caused DNA fragmentation by 44% in HepG2 cells[1].
