Application

UCF-101 has been used to study its cytoprotective activity in a mouse model of spinal cord injury.

Biochem/physiol Actions

UCF-101 is a selective inhibitor of the pro-apoptotic mitochondrial serine protease Omi/HtrA2, involved in the cellular response to thermal and oxidative stress. Like SMAC/Diablo, Omi/HtrA2 is an inhibitor of IAPs (inhibitor of apoptosis proteins), inhibiting the apoptosis inhibitors, thus resulting in pro-apoptotic activity. In septic rat studies, UCF-101 was found to inhibit apoptosis and have neuroprotective effects on cerebral oxidative injury and cognitive impairment. In aging rats with induced myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury, UCF-101 treatment decreased XIAP degradation and caspase-3 activity and exerted cardioprotective effects.

the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is multifactorial, involving neurotransmitter alterations, inflammatory cytokines, oxidative damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and other factors. Mitochondria are major producers of reactive oxygen species, resulting in cellular injury. Omi/HtrA2 is a proapoptotic mitochondrial serine protease
