Batimastat (BB-94)
Batimastat (also known as BB-49), [4-(N-hydroxyamino)-2R-isobutyl-3S-(thiopen-2-ylthiomethyl)-succinyl-L-phenylalanine-N-methylamide, is a potent and synthetic inhibitor of a broad spectrum of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), including interstitial collagenase (IC50 = 3 nM), stromelysin (IC50 = 20 nM), Mr 72,000 type IV collagenase (IC50 = 4 nM), Mr 92,000 type IV collagenase (IC50 = 4 nM), and matrilysin (IC50 = 6 nM). It is a low-molecular-weight (MW = 478) and peptide-like collagen substrate analogue consisting of a peptide backbone and a hydroxamic acid group which bind to MMPs and the catalytically active zinc atom respectively. Batimastat exhibits antineoplastic and antiangiogenic activity in various tumor models, including ovarian carcinoma xegnografts and human colon tumor.

Applications |
Treatment with BB-94 caused a significant reduction in the median weight of the primary tumor from 293 mg (range, 1141 to 124 mg) in the control group to 144 mg (range, 424 to 38 mg) in the BB-94 treated group (P <0.001) and resulted in a marked reduction in the incidence of tumor invasion of adjacent tissue, from 12 of 18 mice in the control group (67%) to 7 of 20 mice in the BB-94 treated group (35%). |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
