tanomastat

Tanomastat is an orally bioavailable and non-peptidic biphenyl matrix metalloproteinases inhibitor. For MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13 the Ki values are 11, 143, 301, and 1470 nM respectively.

Rac)-Tanomastat ((Rac)-BAY 12-9566) is a racemate of Tanomastat. Tanomastat (BAY 12-9566) is an orally active, zinc carboxy-containing inhibitor of non-peptide biphenyl matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that inhibits MMP-2 (Ki: 11 nM), MMP-3 (Ki: 143 nM), MMP-9 (Ki: 301 nM), and MMP-13 (Ki: 1470 nM). In several experimental tumour models, Tanomastat exhibits anti-invasive and anti-metastatic effects.
