Inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinases
Wayne State University researchers and academic collaborators have prepared the first reported mechanism-based inhibitors for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). One of the novel compounds (SB-3CT) shows selectivity for the gelatinases (two members of the MMP family), which have been implicated in various pathological conditions including, but not...

A Diagnostic Marker for Matrix Metalloprotease (MMP)-2 and -9 Activity in Cancer Tissue
This invention is a new and simple method for the identification of active versus latent matrix metalloprotease enzymes (MMPs) in tissue. Background & Unmet Need: MMPs are involved in tumor progression and therefore are targets for anti-cancer drug therapies. However, most drug therapies directed at inhibition of MMPs have failed because there...
