Biological Activity

Z-VAD-FMK (10 μM) inhibits apoptosis in THP.1 cells. Z-VAD-FMK (10 μM) inhibits activation of PARP protease activity in control THP.1 cell lysates. Z-VAD-FMK (10 μM) inhibits the processing of CPP32 in intact THP.1 and Jurkat cells. Z-VAD-FMK (50 μM) inhibits cell death following dSMN dsRNA-induced apoptosis in S2 cells. Z-VAD-FMK (50 μM) increases the percentage of transfected cells surviving from 26% to 63% in S2 cells. Z-VAD-FMK (50 μM) blocks camptothecin-induced DNA fragmentation in HL60 cells.

Conversion of different model animals based on BSA (PMID: 27057123)

Species	Mouse	Rat	Rabbit	Guinea pig	Hamster	Dog
Weight (kg)	0.02	0.15	1.8	0.4	0.08	10
Body Surface Area (m2)	0.007	0.025	0.15	0.05	0.02	0.5
Km factor	3	6	12	8	5	20

Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by	Animal B Km
	Animal A Km

For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the K_m factor for a mouse and then divide by the K_m factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
