| Bioactivity | BB-Cl-Amidine hydrochloride is a peptidylarginine deminase (PAD) inhibitor[1]. |
| Target | PAD. |
| In Vivo | Treatment with BB-Cl-amidine subtly reduces splenomegaly in MRL/lpr mice, while there is a trend towards increased circulating levels of anti-NET antibodies with PAD inhibitor treatment. However, neither PAD inhibitor affected body weight or total IgG levels. Indeed, treatment with both Cl-amidine and BB-Cl-amidine significantly improves endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. The BB-Cl-amidine group also shows a strong trend towards downregulation of IRGs. Treatment with either Cl-amidine or BB-Cl-amidine significantly improves muzzle alopecia, in many cases preventing it entirely[1]. Animal Model: |
