IDN-1965 is an irreversible, broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor. IDN-1965 prevents downstream apoptotic events (such as DNase activation) and significantly delays cytochrome c release by inhibiting caspase activity. IDN-1965 significantly delayed death in mice with cardiomyocyte apoptosis. IDN-1965 completely prevents left ventricular dilation, systolic dysfunction, and fibrosis in mice with dilated cardiomyopathy. IDN-1965 can be used to study apoptosis-related diseases such as heart failure and the mechanisms of apoptosis initiation.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
