WEHI-9625 is a tricyclic sulfone, first-in-class inhibitor of apoptosis with an EC50 of 69 nM. WEHI-9625 binds to VDAC2 and promotes its ability to inhibit apoptosis driven by mouse BAK. WEHI-9625 is completely inactive against both human BAK and the closely related apoptosis effector BAX.
IC50&Target
Bak
Bax
体外研究
WEHI-9625 (0-10 µM; Mcl1Bax MEFs cells) treatment could prevent cell death mediated by BAK and potently inhibits BIM BH3-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in Bax, but not Bak, cells.
Cell Viability Assay
Cell Line:
Mcl1Bax MEFs cells with ABT-737-pretreated
Concentration:
0-10 µM
Incubation Time:
Result:
Could prevent cell death.
体内研究
WEHI-9625 demonstrates that blocking apoptosis at an early stage was both advantageous and pharmacologically tractable.
