N-[(1S)-4-[(2-chloro-1-iminoethyl)amino]-1-[[(phenylmethyl)amino]carbonyl]butyl]-6-(dimethylamino)-2-naphthalenecarboxamide,monohydrochloride

Uses

YW3-56 (hydrochloride) is a PAD inhibitor. YW3-56 (hydrochloride) activates p53 target genes. YW3-56 (hydrochloride) activates ATF and blocks autophagy flux. YW3-56 induces ER stress through the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 signaling cascade and inhibits the mTOR signaling. YW3-56 (hydrochloride) inhibits triple-negative breast cancer[1].

Biological Activity

YW3-56 is an inhibitor of protein arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) and PAD4 (IC50s = 0.5-1 and 1-5 μM, respectively).1 It inhibits the growth of U2OS osteosarcoma cells (IC50 = ~2.5 μM) in a p53-dependent manner via induction of SESN2 and subsequent inhibition of mTORC1. YW3-56 (10 mg/kg) reduces tumor growth in an S-180 murine sarcoma tumor model. It also inhibits tumor growth in the 1883 MDA-MB-231 breast cancer bone metastasis mouse xenograft model.2
