Adargiminase
Adargiminase (NEI-01) is a modified arginine-depleting enzyme and albumin binder. Adargiminase catalyzes the conversion of arginine to citrulline and ammonia, reduces plasma arginine levels to undetectable levels, and binds to serum albumin from Mus musculus (mouse), Rattus norvegicus (rat), Canis lupus familiaris (dog) and Homo sapiens (human) to extend its half-life. Adargiminase inhibits the viability of ASS1-negative pancreatic cancer cells, and reduces tumor volume and weight. Adargiminase can be used for the research of pancreatic cancer.

Biological Activity
Adargiminase (0.001-10 μg/mL; 72 h) potently inhibits the viability of ASS1-negative MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells, but exerts no inhibitory effect on ASS1-positive SMMC7721 hepatocellular carcinoma cells[1].
Adargiminase (0.1 μg/mL; 6-96 h) induces activation of the autophagy pathway (increased levels of LC3-II, Beclin 1, and phosphorylated AMPKα) and activation of the apoptosis pathway (decreased level of PARP-1) in MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells[1].
Adargiminase (0.001-1 μg/mL; 72 h) has no effect on NEI-01-adapted MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells, but resensitizes these cells after 96 h of culture in NEI-01-free medium[1].
