Biological Description

Chemical Properties

Storage & Solubility Information

Description	Ac-YVAD-CMK (Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-CMK) is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of Caspase-1 and inhibits pyroptosis, IL-1β and IL-18. Ac-YVAD-CMK shows neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory capacity.
In vitro	Ac-YVAD-cmk (40 and 80 μM) reduces the expression of IL-1β and IL-18 in activated microglia[3].
In vivo	In SD rats, Ac-YVAD-cmk treatment (1 μg; injection into the left lateral ventricle) significantly decreases the protein levels of caspase-1 and mature IL-1β/IL-18 compared with the ICH group[3]. Ac-YVAD-cmk (12.5 μmol/kg) significantly reduces mortality from 83 to 33% in rats[4].

The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box
