Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of bifunctional inhibitors of membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP)

Collagen degradation and proMMP-2 activation are major functions of MT1-MMP to promote cancer cell invasion. Since both processes require MT1-MMP homodimerization on the cell surface, herein we propose that the use of bifunctional inhibitors of this enzyme could represent an innovative approach to e...
