Caspase Stimulants

Molecular classification: Enzyme modulator

Overview

Caspase stimulants refer to agents or mechanisms that promote the activation of caspases, a family of cysteine-aspartic proteases essential for programmed cell death (apoptosis), inflammation, and other cellular processes. These can include physiological signals or pharmacological compounds designed to induce apoptosis, particularly in cancer therapy.

Mechanism of action

Induction of caspase activation via upstream stress signals or direct pharmacological activation.
