Benzamidine hydrochloride hydrate is a reversible competitive inhibitor of trypsin-like serine proteases, supplied as a crystalline hydrated hydrochloride. It is used in biochemical and cell-based assays to inhibit trypsin, tryptase, uPA, Factor Xa, thrombin, and tPA, and has been reported to reduce thymidine incorporation in fibroblasts and to decrease tryptase-stimulated collagen synthesis.
