In Vitro | In vitro activity: Batimastat (BB-94) is a potent, broad spectrum matrix metalloprotease (MMP) inhibitor for MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-7 and MMP-3 with IC50 of 3 nM, 4 nM, 4 nM, 6 nM and 20 nM, respectively. Batimastat exhibits an unexpected binding geometry, with the thiophene ring deeply inserted into the primary specificity site.
Kinase Assay: Batimastat is a potent broad spectrum MMP inhibitor with IC50 of 3, 4, 4, 6, and 20 nM for MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-7 and MMP-3, respectively.
Cell Assay: In vitro proliferation in the presence of batimastatwas assessed by the MTT absorbance assay. The effect of batimastat on the in vitro growth of C170HM2 and AP5LV in both serum-free and scrum-containing culture media was determined three times. Batimastat had no significant effect on the growth of either cell line. |
