| Bioactivity | AFM-30a is a potent protein arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) inhibitor and has excellent PAD2-selectivity. AFM-30a binds to PAD2 with an EC50 value of 9.5 μM. AFM-30a also inhibits H3 citrullination with an EC50 value of 0.4 μM. AFM-30a can be used for the research of certain cancers and a variety of autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis, lupus, and ulcerative colitis[1]. | |||||||||
| Invitro | AFM-30a (compound 30a; 25 μM) has good potency to enter HEK293T/PAD2 cells and covalent modify PAD2 with an EC50 of 9.5 μM[1].AFM-30a shows good ability to inhibit H3 citrullination with an EC50 of 0.4 μM[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: | |||||||||
