Abstract:
Introduction: MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) and ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinases) are endopeptidases central to the degradation and remodeling of the extracellular matrix. These proteases also exhibit regulatory activity in cell signaling pathways and thus tissue homeostasis under normal conditions and in many diseases. Consequently, individual members of the MMP and ADAM protein families were identified as important therapeutic targets. However, designing effective inhibitors in v...     »
