Description
(R)-MMP408 is an isomer of MMP408 (HY-12093). MMP408 is a selective and orally effective inhibitor of MMP-12 with IC50 values for human, mouse and rat MMP-12 of 2 nM, 160 nM and 3 µM respectively. MMP408 exhibits IC50 value for human MMP-13 of 120 nM, and its activity against other MMPs is weak. MMP408 can alleviate inflammation, fibrosis and tissue remodeling by inhibiting MMP-12. MMP408 can be used in the research of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps
