Product Description
Cl-amidine is an orally bioavailable PAD inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50s of 0.8 μM, 6.2 μM and 5.9 μM for PAD1, PAD3 and PAD4 respectively. Cl-amidine causes apoptosis in cancer/tumor cells. Cl-amidine TFA can induce miR-16 (miRNA-16, microRNA-16), causing cell cycle arrest. Cl-Amidine blocks histone 3 citrullination and neutrophil extracellular trap formation and improves survival in septic mice.
Cl-amidine is a first-generation, orally bioavailable haloacetamidine-based irreversible inhibitor of protein arginine deiminases (PADs). With a molecular formula of C14H19ClN4O2 and a molecular weight of 310.78 g/mol, it is a research compound that has been studied for its potential in treating cancer and inflammatory diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cl-amidine targets protein arginine deiminases (PADs), which are enzymes that catalyze the calcium-dependent conversion of arginine residues in proteins to citrulline. It inhibits all active PAD isozymes, with IC50 values of 0.8 μM for PAD1, 6.2 μM for PAD3, and 5.9 μM for PAD4. The inhibition is irreversible, as it covalently modifies the active site cysteine residue.
ln Vitro
Cl-amidine is a bioavailable haloacetamidine-based drug that inhibits all active PAD isozymes with nearly identical efficacy (kinact/KI=13,000 M-1·min-1 for PAD4) [1]. TK6 lymphoblastoid cells and HT29 colon cancer cells underwent dose-dependent apoptosis in response to Cl-amidine (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50 μg/mL, 24 h). It's interesting to note that Cl-amidine-induced apoptosis does not fully kill the colon cancer cell line HT29 [2]. The enzymatic activity of PADs is dependent on the active site cysteine, which is covalently modified by clonidine, rendering PADs permanently inactive [4].
In vitro, Cl-amidine demonstrates potent PAD inhibitory activity. It causes dose-dependent apoptosis in TK6 lymphoblastoid cells and HT29 colon cancer cells at concentrations of 0-50 μg/mL. It can induce miR-16, causing cell cycle arrest. It also blocks histone 3 citrullination and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. Its enzymatic activity is dependent on the active site cysteine, which is covalently modified by the compound, rendering PADs permanently inactive.
ln Vivo
Cl-amidine (75 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection once daily) can prevent and cure colitis in mice produced by DSS [2]. Histological scores can be significantly lowered in a dose-dependent manner with clonidine (5, 25, 75 mg/kg, oral gavage, once daily) [2].
In vivo, Cl-amidine has shown efficacy in preclinical models. In a DSS colitis mouse model, it prevents and cures colitis at a dose of 75 mg/kg administered intraperitoneally once daily. It significantly lowers histological scores in a dose-dependent manner (5, 25, 75 mg/kg, oral gavage, once daily). It improves survival in septic mice by blocking NET formation. These studies highlight its potential for treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme assay for Cl-amidine involves measuring its ability to inhibit PAD activity. The enzyme is incubated with a peptide substrate (e.g., benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester or a citrulline-specific substrate) in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound. The production of citrulline is measured using a colorimetric method or by HPLC, and the IC50 is calculated from the inhibition curve. The kinetic parameters (kinact/KI) can also be determined.
Cell Assay
Apoptosis analysis[2].
Cell Types: TK6 lymphoblastoid cells and HT29 colon cancer cells.
Tested Concentrations: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50 μg/mL.
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours).
Experimental Results: The induction of apoptosis was dose-dependent.
In vitro cell culture studies for Cl-amidine utilize TK6 lymphoblastoid cells and HT29 colon cancer cells. Cells are treated with the compound at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50 μg/mL for 24 hours. Apoptosis is assessed by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining. Cell cycle analysis is performed by propidium iodide staining. The expression of citrullinated proteins is analyzed by Western blotting.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6 mice (8-12 weeks old, DSS colitis mouse model) [2].
Doses: 75 mg/kg. Management: IP one time/day.
Experimental Results: Inhibition of PAD activity in vivo, protein citrullination, and PAD levels in the colon.
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6 mice (8-12 weeks old, DSS colitis mouse model) [2].
Doses: 5, 25, 75 mg/kg.
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage), one time/day.
Experimental Results: Resultant in Dramatically lower histological scores.
In vivo animal experiments for Cl-amidine are performed in the DSS colitis mouse model. C57BL/6 mice (8-12 weeks old) are administered the compound at doses of 5, 25, or 75 mg/kg via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection once daily. Disease severity is assessed by measuring body weight, stool consistency, and bleeding, and by histological scoring of colon tissues. PAD activity and protein citrullination are measured in colon tissues.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Cl-amidine has a molecular formula of C14H19ClN4O2 and a molecular weight of 310.78 g/mol. It is soluble in DMSO. It is typically stored as a powder at -20°C for long-term stability. For in vivo studies, it can be formulated in suitable vehicles such as PBS or a solution of DMSO and saline. Its stability is maintained under recommended storage conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Cl-amidine indicate that it is generally well-tolerated in preclinical studies at therapeutic doses. In vitro, it causes dose-dependent apoptosis in cancer cell lines, suggesting potential cytotoxic effects at higher concentrations. In vivo, it has been shown to be safe at doses up to 75 mg/kg in mice. As a research compound, it is not intended for human use.
