General description

A cell-permeable inhibitor of calpain I (Ki = 120 nM), calpain II (Ki = 230 nM), cathepsin B (Ki = 100 nM), and cathepsin L (Ki = 0.6 nM). Inhibits activation-induced programmed cell death and restores defective immune responses in HIV+ donors. Also prevents nitric oxide produced by activated macrophages by interfering with transcription of the inducible nitric oxide synthase gene.
Cell permeable inhibitor of calpain I (Ki = 120 nM), calpain II (Ki = 230 nM), cathepsin B (Ki = 100 nM), and cathepsin L (Ki = 600 pM). Inhibits activation-induced programmed cell death and restores defective immune responses in HIV+ donors. Blocks nitric oxide production by activated macrophages by interfering with transcription of the inducible nitric oxide synthase gene. A weak inhibitor of proteasome.

Caspase-8 is a proapoptotic protease that suppresses neuroblastoma metastasis by inducing programmed cell death. Paradoxically, caspase-8 can also promote cell migration among nonapoptotic cells; here, we show that caspase-8 can promote metastasis when apoptosis is compromised. Migration is enhanced by
