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: | MRL/lpr mice[1]. |
| Dosage: | 1 mg/kg. |
| Administration: | Subcutaneous injection daily from 8 to 14 weeks of age. |
| Result: | Significantly improved endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation and showed a strong trend towards downregulation of IRGs. |
