Background:

IC50: 310 and 240 nM for MMP-2 and MMP-9, respectively

MMP-2/MMP-9 Inhibitor I is a potent inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9.

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), a typical metalloproteinase, requires zinc ion at its active sites. As many as 18 kinds of MMP have been identified and cloned and are collectively called the MMP family.

In vitro: MMP-2/MMP-9 inhibitor I was identified as a potent inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 with IC50 values of 310 and 240 nM, respectively. MMP-2/MMP-9 inhibitor I acted by binding zinc at the active site of these MMPs. MMP-2/MMP-9 inhibitor I was found to be able to block MMP-2/MMP-9-dependent invasion in cell culture model [1].

In vivo: Both hydroxamic acid and carboxylic acid analogs of MMP-2/MMP-9 inhibitor I were evaluated for their inhibitory activities in animal cancer models. Results showed that lung colonization of Lewis lung carcinoma cells was suppressed by these inhibitors significantly. In addition, antitumor activity was also observed in the human lung cancer model. Ma44 cells growed as a solid tumor on the peritoneum after being implanted ip, and mice bearing Ma44 eventually died within 3 to 4 weeks. Daily oral administration of compound 5l led to prolonged survival of Ma44-bearing mice [1].

Clinical trial: So far, no clinical study has been conducted.
