MMP-9 Activator

Ginkgolide C is a flavone isolated from Ginkgo biloba leaves, possessing multiple biological functions, such as decreasing platelet aggregation and ameliorating Alzheimer disease.

β-Neo-Endorphin is an endogenous opioid peptide. β-Neo-Endorphin is a hypothalamic “big” Leu-enkephalin of porcine origin. β-Neo-Endorphin shows activation of the Erk1/2, MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Murine Fibrinogen is a native fibrinogen derived from mouse plasma. Murine Fibrinogen acts as a cerebrovascular permeability enhancer. Murine Fibrinogen activates matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), downregulates the expression of vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), and upregulates the expression of plasmalemmal vesicle-associated protein-1 (PV-1). Murine Fibrinogen increases macromolecular leakage from pial veins, thereby disrupting the microvascular integrity of cerebral blood vessels. Murine Fibrinogen can be used in studies related to cerebrovascular dysfunction.

Murine Thrombin is a murine serine protease that plays a central role in blood coagulation. Murine Thrombin stimulates macrophages to polarize into a unique phenotype characterized by anti-inflammatory and pro-repair properties. Murine Thrombin activates PAR1, induces the production of MCP-1, MMP3 and VEGF in mouse intervertebral discs, and causes degradation of the cartilage matrix and destruction of intervertebral disc structure. Murine Thrombin activity increases significantly in paraoxon-induced status epilepticus.

LIFR/GPBAR1 modulator 1 is an orally active, potent GPBAR1 agonist (EC₅₀ = 0.2 μM) and LIFR inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 7.9 μM). LIFR/GPBAR1 modulator 1 upregulates leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF)-mediated mRNA expression of LIFR and GPBAR1 and significantly reduces the expression of pro-fibrosis markers (COL1A1, ASMA, and TGFβ), and reduces TIMP1 expression and increases MMP9 expression. LIFR/GPBAR1 modulator 1 can be used for the study of human fibrotic disorders.

KAFDITYVRLKF is a selective, competitive integrin α_vβ₃ binder. KAFDITYVRLKF induces the production of MMP-9. KAFDITYVRLKF blocks monocyte migration, promotes melanoma cell migration, protects neurons, and improves motor and cognitive functions. KAFDITYVRLKF can be used in research related to melanoma and Parkinson's disease.

Colchicine-O-CO-Enyl(Me)-Enyl-Enyl(Me)-Enyl-1,3,3-trimethylcyclohex-1-ene (compound L2) is a lipophilic colchicinoid formulation targeting hepatic stellate cells (HSC). Colchicine-O-CO-Enyl(Me)-Enyl-Enyl(Me)-Enyl-1,3,3-trimethylcyclohex-1-ene increases the levels of MMP2, MMP8 and MMP9, demonstrating the protective effect in tissue remodeling. Colchicine-O-CO-Enyl(Me)-Enyl-Enyl(Me)-Enyl-1,3,3-trimethylcyclohex-1-ene exhibits anti-fibrotic activity in CCL₄-induced liver fibrosis (LF) mouse model. Colchicine-O-CO-Enyl(Me)-Enyl-Enyl(Me)-Enyl-1,3,3-trimethylcyclohex-1-ene can be used for LF research.

LAS190792 is a bifunctional muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antagonist and β2-adrenergic receptor agonist. LAS190792 has a pIC₅₀ of 8.8 against human M3 muscarinic receptor and a pIC₅₀ of 9.1 against human β2-adrenergic receptor. LAS190792 exhibits vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory activities, and induces sustained bronchodilation in dogs. LAS190792 inhibits the release of IL-8, MMP9, IL-1β and GM-CSF from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated neutrophils. LAS190792 can be used in research related to respiratory system diseases.
