Uses
Antineoplastic; antiangiogenic; treatment for retinal and subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor).
Definition
ChEBI: Prinomastat is a hydroxamic acid that is (3S)-N-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylthiomorpholine-3-carboxamide in which the hydrogen attached to the thiomorpholine nitrogen has been replaced by a [4-(pyridin-4-yloxy)phenyl]sulfonyl group. It is a selective inhibitor with of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2, 3, 9, 13, and 14. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor and an EC 3.4.24.35 (gelatinase B) inhibitor. It is a hydroxamic acid, a member of thiomorpholines, a sulfonamide, an aromatic ether and a member of pyridines. It is a conjugate base of a prinomastat(1+).
General Description
Prinomastat comprises hydroxamic acid group and chelates with zinc ion.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Prinomastat is a matrix metalloprotease (MMP) inhibitor with selectivity for MMPs 2, 3, 9, 13, and 14. Inhibition of these MMPs has been postulated to block tumor invasion and metastasis. It is extremely potent at MMP-3 and MMP-2 with IC50s, 30 pM & 50 pM, respectively.
Enzyme inhibitor
C113282), also known as AG3340, inhibits a number of matrix metalloproteinases, including collagenase-3 (Ki = 38 pM), gelatinase A (Ki = 83 pM), stromelysin 1 (Ki = 0.27 nM), and interstitial collagenase (Ki = 8.2 nM). Note that both the 3- and 4-pyridyl structures have been reported for prinomastat; however, the 4-analogue is the original structure reported for this inhibitor. Target(s): ADAM 17 endopeptidase, or tumor necrosis factor-a converting enzyme, or TACE; ADAMTS-4 endopeptidase, or aggrecanase; collagenase-3; gelatinase A; gelatinase B; interstitial collagenase; matrilysin; membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase-1, or matrix metalloproteinase 14; and stromelysin 1.
