Chemical Name:(2S,3R)-N4-[(1S)-2,2-Dimethyl-1-[(methylamino)carbonyl]
propyl]-N1,2-dihydroxy-3-(2-methylpropyl)butanediamide
Biological Activity:
Broad spectrum inhibitor of matrix
metalloproteinase (MMP) (IC50 values are 3, 5, 6, 9 and 13 nM for
MMP-9, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-14 and MMP-7 respectively). In vivo inhibits
peritoneal dissemination of human gastric cancer cells through inhibition of
tumour angiogenesis.
