Characterization of a selective inhibitor for matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8)

Abstract

MMP-8 has been implicated in various diseases. Selective MMP-8 inhibitors are needed to ascertain the role of this enzyme. We synthesized two inhibitors reported previously as selective for MMP-8. Compound 1 selectively inhibited MMP-8 and MMP-13; compound 2 was a potent broad-spectrum inhibitor, notwithstanding that it is used as a selective one.
