Description

General description

A hydroxamate-based inhibitor of MMPs and TACE. Inhibits the activation-induced shedding of L-selectin from neutrophils, eosinophils, and lymphocytes, as well as phenylarsine oxide (PAO)-induced shedding in neutrophils. Also acts as a weak inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme (IC₅₀ = 18 µM). Also available as a 10 mM solution in H₂O (Cat. No. 509612).

A hydroxamate-based inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases and TACE (TNF-α convertase; ADAM17). Inhibits the activation-dependent shedding of L-selectin from neutrophils, eosinophils, and lymphocytes as well as phenylarsine oxide (PAO)-induced shedding in neutrophils. Also blocks the shedding of several cell surface proteins such as pro-TGF-α, IL-6 receptor α-subunit, and β-amyloid precursor protein. Reported to inhibit TNF-α release and impart protection against aspirin-induced gastric mucosal injury. Acts as a weak inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme (IC₅₀ = 18 µM).
