UK-370106 is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of MMP-3 with IC50 of 23 nM and MMP-12 with IC50 of 42 nM, and potently inhibits cleavage of [3H]-fibronectin by MMP-3 (IC50: 320 nM).
CMC2.24 (TRB-N0224) is an orally active tricarbonylmethane agent that demonstrates effectiveness in inhibiting Ras activation and the downstream effector ERK1/2 pathway, thus effectively combating pancreatic tumor formation in mice. Additionally, CMC2.24 exerts potent inhibitory effects on zinc-dependent MMPs, with IC50s ranging from 2.0-69 μM. Furthermore, CMC2.24 aids in alleviating the progression of osteoarthritis by restoring cartilage homeostasis and inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis through the NF-κB/HIF-2α axis[1][2][3].
Dnp-RPLALWRS is a fluorogenic substrate for matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7). The activity of MMP-7 can be quantified by measuring tryptophan fluorescence that is unquenched upon peptide hydrolysis that removes the N-terminal dinitrophenol (Dnp) group.
GM 1489 is a broad-spectrum inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) with Ki values of 0.002, 0.1, 0.5, 0.2, and 20 μM for MMP-1, MMP-8, MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-3, respectively. It reduces 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine-induced increases in MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-9, and MMP-14 expression as well as cell invasion in AsPC-1, BxPC-3, Hs766T, MiaPaCa2, and PANC-1 cancer cells. Topical administration of GM 1489 (100 μg) inhibits increases in ear thickness and epidermal hyperplasia induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and phorbol dibutyrate (PdiBu) in mice.
