Abstract
⺠We investigate cellular effects of novel procaspase-3 activators PAC-1 and 1541. ⺠PAC-1 and 1541 induce cell death in PC12 cells and primary neurons. ⺠EGF completely blocks PAC-1 induced caspase-3 activity. ⺠EGF can reduce cell death induced by PAC-1 and 1541. ⺠Relevant for further development of procaspase-3 activators for cancer therapy.
