Notes: SB-3CT is a selective, mechanism-based inhibitor of the gelatinases, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 (Kis = 28 and 400 nM, respectively).{26759,26757} First pass metabolism of SB-3CT in vivo produces a monohydroxylated metabolite that has greater inhibitory activity (Kis = 6 and 160 nM for MMP-2 and MMP-9, respectively).{26757} Both SB-3CT and its active metabolite can cross the blood-brain barrier and have utility in diseases of the central nervous system, such as stroke and traumatic brain injury.{26757,26758} SB-3CT may have applications in other pathologies involving gelatinases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and inflammation.{26760,26756}
