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].
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).
