Biochem/physiol Actions Necrostatin-7 (Nec-7) is a potent inhibitor of necroptosis, a regulated caspase-independent necrotic cell death pathway, distinct from apoptosis. Nec-7 has a different profile from the other necrostatins as it does not inhibit RIP1 kinase, suggesting the possibility that it may target an additional as yet unknown regulatory molecule in the pathway. |
