Cl-amidine is an orally active peptidylarginine deminase (PAD) inhibitor, with IC50 values of 0.8 μM, 6.2 μM and 5.9 μM for PAD1, PAD3, and PAD4, respectively. Cl-amidine induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Cl-amidine induces microRNA (miR)-16 (miRNA-16, microRNA-16) expression and causes cell cycle arrest. Cl-Amidine prevents histone 3 citrullination and neutrophil extracellular trap formation, and improves survival in a murine sepsis model[1][2][3][4][5].

ChEBI: Cl-Amidine is a member of benzenes.

Cl-amidine is an orally active PAD inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.8 μM, 6.2 μM and 5.9 μM for PAD1, PAD3 and PAD4, respectively.It induces apoptosis in cancer cells. And Cl-Amidine blocks histone 3 citrullination and neutrophil extracellular trap formation and improves survival in mice with sepsis.
