GSK484 is a potent selective reversible inhibitor of protein arginine deiminase PAD4, an enzyme believed to play a role in granulocyte and macrophage development leading to inflammation and immune response, and overexpressed in many tumors. GSK484 has IC50 values of 50 nM without calcium and 250 nM in the presence of 2 mM calcium. GSK484 showed minimal off-target activity tested against 50 other proteins with no activation across HDACs 1–11 even at 100 µM. GSK484 binds at a different site from the amidines, a conformation of the PAD4 active site where part of the site is reordered to form a β-hairpin.
