Biological activities

PAC-1 is a procaspase-activating compound 1. PAC-1 is a potential agent treatment in cancer cell lines with elevated levels of procaspase-3. In cancer cells, PAC-1 induces primary cancerous cells death with an IC50 of minimal 3 nM.[1] PAC-1 and zinc form a tight complex with one another, with a dissociation constant of approximately 42 nM. In vitro, PAC-1 activates procaspase-3 by sequestering inhibitory zinc ions. PAC-1 relieves the zinc-mediated inhibition of caspase-7, procaspase-7 and the procaspase-7 (D23A/D198A/D206A) mutant. [2] PAC1 specifically dephosphorylates and inactivates MAP kinases. PAC1 is necessary and sufficient for p53-mediated apoptosis. [3] In vivo, PAC-1 induces death in cancer cell lines and primary tumor samples in cell culture, and retards tumor growth. [2]
