General description | Ilomastat is a broad spectrum matrix metalloprotease (MMP) inhibitor for MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-12, MMP-14, and MMP-26 with Ki of 0.4 nM, 0.5 nM, 27 nM, 3.7 nM, 0.1 nM, 0.2 nM, 3.6 nM, 13.4 nM, 0.36 nM, respectively. |
Biochem/Physiol
Actions | Ilomastat is an N-acyl-amino acid obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of (2R)-2-[2-(hydroxyamino)-2-oxoethyl]-4-methylpentanoic acid with the amino group of N-methyl-L-tryptophanamide. A cell permeable broad-spectrum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor It has a role as an EC 3.4.24.24 (gelatinase A) inhibitor, a neuroprotective agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, an antibacterial agent and an antineoplastic agent. It is a L-tryptophan derivative, a hydroxamic acid and a N-acyl-amino acid. |
