BB-Cl-Amidine is a modified version of Cl-amidine that retains the functional components but possesses a C-terminal benzimidazole group designed to limit proteolysis of the C-terminal amide. BB-Cl-Amidine irreversibly inactivates all four PAD subtypes (k/K = 16,100, 4,100, 6,800, and 13,300 Mmin for PAD1-4, respectively) by covalently modifying an active site cysteine that is important for its catalytic activity. The cellular potency of BB-Cl-amidine against PAD4 is increased 20-fold over the parent compound (EC = 8.8 µM versus >200 µM for Cl-amidine). BB-Cl-Amidine also has a significantly longer in vivo half-life than Cl-amidine (1.75 h versus ~15 min, respectively). Both compounds inhibit the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps without altering HO production by neutrophils. BB-Cl-Amidine is effective in vivo, improving endothelial function while downregulating the expression of type I interferon-regulated genes in MRL/lpr mice.
BB-Cl-Amidine is a peptidylarginine deminase (PAD) inhibitor.

体内研究
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.
