The IAP Proteins: Caspase Inhibitors and Beyond

Science's STKE, 2000
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, occurs as an outcome of signals that direct cells to perish. Whether initiated by specifically activated receptors or induced through viral infection, apoptosis is an important means by which organisms maintain health and homeostasis.

Natural cellular inhibitors of caspases

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 2003
The crucial role of cell death in many diseases is obvious and has spurred intense research to understand the regulation of apoptotic pathways. Caspase activation is central to many of the apoptotic pathways. In recent years, the study of the regulation of caspase activation and activity in various cell lines and in diseases has revealed highly complex

NO-releasing NSAIDs are caspase inhibitors

Trends in Immunology, 2001
Nitrosation of thiol-containing proteins is a mechanism for cell regulation. Nitric-oxide-releasing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NO-NSAIDs) are chemical entities obtained by adding a nitroxybutyl moiety to a conventional NSAID. NO-NSAIDs inhibit inflammation via cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-dependent and -independent effects.

Characterization of caspase-8L: a novel isoform of caspase-8 that behaves as an inhibitor of the caspase cascade

Blood, 2002
Caspase-8 (Fas-associating protein with death domain–like interleukin-1β– converting enzyme [FLICE]/MACH/Mch5) belongs to a family of cysteine proteases presumed to be the apex of the apoptotic signaling pathways. We recently reported the presence of a novel isoform of caspase-8, named caspase-8L, generated by the alternative splicing of human caspase ...

Caspase inhibitors in prevention of apoptosis

Herz, 1999
Apoptosis, a morphological distinct form of programmed cell death, is a crucial process during development, the maintenance of cell homeostasis and the regulation of the immune system. A variety of diseases have been found to correlate with physiological apoptosis including cancer, autoimmune disease, viral infection and degenerative disorders ...

Caspase Inhibitors: A Pharmaceutical Industry Perspective

Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2005
Caspase inhibition has been demonstrated to be therapeutically effective in moderating excessive programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Publications detailing programs in the pharmaceutical industry have been more frequent in recent years, ranging from SAR studies to clinically relevant animal models of disease.

The emerging role of caspase inhibitors in gastrointestinal cancers

Journal of Gastroenterology, 2002
Apoptosis is an important process in a wide variety of biological systems, and dysregulation of apoptosis is implicated in many human diseases, including malignancy. In fact, cancer cells demonstrate resistance to a variety of apoptotic stimuli, so that an understanding of the inhibitory mechanisms of apoptosis is particularly important.
