Streptonigrin is a natural product produced by Streptomyces flocculus, has both anti-tumor and anti-bacterial activity. Streptonigrin acts as a pan-PAD inhibitor (IC50s: 48.3±34.2 µM, 26.1±0.3 µM, 0.43±0.03 µM, and 2.5±0.4 µM for PAD1, PAD2, PAD3, and PAD
Cl-amidine is an orally active inhibitor of peptidyl arginine deminase (PAD) (IC50s: 0.8 μM, 6.2 μM, and 5.9 μM for PAD1, PAD3, and PAD4). Cl-amidine induces apoptosis in cancer cells.
Cl-amidine TFA is an orally active inhibitor of peptidyl arginine deminase (PAD) 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.
CAY10727 is an inhibitor of protein arginine deiminase 3 (PAD3; kinact/KI= 15,600 M-1min-1).1It is selective for PAD3 over PAD1, -2, and -4 (kinact/KIs = 360, 1,110, and 1,460 M-1min-1, respectively). 1.Jamali, H., Khan, H.A., Stringer, J.R., et al.Identification of multiple structurally distinct, nonpeptidic small molecule inhibitors of protein arginine deiminase 3 using a substrate-based fragment methodJ.

PAD2-IN-1, a benzimidazole-based derivative, is an efficacious and specific inhibitor of protein arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2). Demonstrating remarkable selectivity, PAD2-IN-1 exhibits a 95-fold higher affinity for PAD2 in comparison to PAD4 and a 79-fold higher affinity than PAD3.
F-amidine is a selective inhibitor of protein arginine deiminases (PADs), specifically targeting PAD1 and PAD4 with in vitro IC50 values of 29.5, 350, and 21.6 µM for PAD1, PAD3, and PAD4, respectively. It irreversibly inactivates all four PAD subtypes by covalently modifying an active site cysteine crucial for enzymatic activity, with kinact/KI values of 2,800, 380, 170, and 3,000 M^-1min^-1. Additionally, F-amidine demonstrates cytotoxicity against HL-60, MCF-7, and HT-29 cancer cell lines, with IC50s of 0.5, 0.5, and 1 μM, respectively.
