Uses
ilomastat helps prevent the formation of matrix metalloproteinases. Matrix metalloproteinases are a category of enzymes that contribute to the degradation of the extracellular matrix and its proteins, including collagen. Ilomastat helps prevent the formation of this family of enzymes, which protects the skin’s extracellular matrix. It also inhibits certain strains of bacteria and serves as a chelating agent.
Uses
Treatment of corneal ulcers, inflammatory
conditions, and cancers (matrix metalloproteinase
inhibitor).
