Selective, brain and cell permeable, highly potent and irreversible inhibitor of caspase-3 ( IC50=25nm), caspase-1 (IC50=50nM), caspase-8 (IC50=100nM) and caspase-9 (IC50=430nM). Protects neurotoxin-insulted neurons from apoptotic death. Displays minimal in vivo toxicity. To reduce hydrophobicity of the peptide and to facilitate the use in aqueous media the aspartyl residue of the inhibitor is not o-methylated.
