KB-R7785 is a novel ADAM12 and MMP inhibitor, ameliorating cardiac function in a transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model by inhibiting the proteolytic activation of HB-EGF signaling, exerting its antidiabetic effect by ameliorating insulin sensitivity through the inhibition of TNF-alpha production.

KB-R7785 is a novel matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor, which improves insulin sensitivity by inhibiting TNF-α production. KB-R7785 can be used for diabetes research. KB-R7785 has a protective efficacy against focal cerebral ischemia[1][2].
