NSC 405020

Background: NSC-405020 is a membrane type-I matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) inhibitor that specifically targets the hemopexin (PEX) domain rather than the catalytic domain of MT1-MMP (IC?? >100 mumol/L). It does not inhibit the catalytic activity of MT1-MMP or MMP-2. NSC-405020 directly interacts with and binds to PEX in a vicinity of Met-328, Arg-330, Asp-376, Met-22 and Ser-470 of the druggable pocket in the full-length MT1-MMP structure, which affects the conformation and flexibility of blades I to IV of the beta-propeller resulting in the decrease of the PEX-dependent homodimerization of cellular MT1-MMP.

Small volumes of NSC 405020 biochemical vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
