Description
Apoptozole (Apoptosis Activator VII) is an inhibitor of and with dissociation constants Kd of 0.14 μM and 0.21 μM, respectively. It induces caspase-dependent apoptosis.
Apoptozole induces caspase dependent apoptosis by blocking interaction of HSP70 with APAF-1, without affecting interactions of HSP70 with ASK1, JNK, BAX, and AIF. However, apoptozole may form aggregates under aqueous conditions that could interact with HSP70 proteins in a non-specific manner, potentially leading to false positives and inconsistent data.
In vivo
Apoptozole greatly retards tumor growth in mice xenografted with cancer cells without affecting mouse viability. The elimination half-life time (T) of Az in blood is found to be significantly longer than that of Dox (8.04 versus 1.60 hr) and the time needed to reach a maximum concentration (Tmax) of Az is shorter than that of Dox (1.00 versus 4.00 hr).
