PAC-1 is a procaspase-activating compound; activates procaspase-3 to produce caspase-3 (EC50 = 0.22 μM). PAC-1 enhances the activity of procaspase-3 in vitro and induces apoptotic death in cancer cells in culture and in mouse xenograft models. Signaling through the neuropeptide GPCR PAC(1) induces neuritogenesis via a single linear cAMP- and ERK-dependent pathway using a novel cAMP sensor. The data presented herein further bolster the hypothesis that PAC-1 induces apoptosis in cancer cells through the direct activation of procaspase-3, has implications for the design and discovery of next-generation procaspase-3 activating compounds, and sheds light on the anti-apoptotic role of cellular zinc.

| Preparation method | Determination of IC50 values in various cell lines. Various concentrations of etoposide or PAC-1 were added to cells and incubated for 24 h and 72 h for etoposide and PAC-1, respectively. Cell death was quantified by the addition of MTS/PMS CellTiter 96 Cell Proliferation Assay reagent (Promega). The plates were incubated at 37 1C for approximately 1 h (until the colored product formed), and the absorbance was measured at 490 nm. |
