Description of Marimastat

Marimastat is a broad-spectrum, orally active matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor with IC50 values ranging from 3 to 13nM[1]. MMPs are a family of zinc-dependent proteolytic enzymes that are essential for tissue repair and remodeling, and are involved in various physiological processes including wound healing, angiogenesis, and cell migration[2]. Marimastat exerts its effects by inhibiting tumor metastasis and angiogenesis, and is commonly used in the research and treatment of pancreatic and gastric cancers[3,4].

In vitro, rat hippocampal neurons cultured in vitro on 7 days were pretreated with Marimastat (5nM, 0.5, 5, 40, and 100μM) for 30min, followed by stimulation with glutamate (50μM) for an additional 30min. Marimastat at 0.5μM inhibited MMP-9-dependent nectin-3 cleavage, while complete inhibition of nectin-3 cleavage was achieved at 5μM[5].

In vivo, C57BL/6J mice were administered Marimastat (100mg/kg; twice daily) by oral gavage for 1 week, followed by continued drug administration concomitant with CCl4 treatment for 6 weeks. Compared with the control group, the relative collagen content (hydroxyproline) in the liver increased by 25%, and the relative fibrotic area increased from 3.1% to 4.2%[6]. C57BL/6 mice fed a 60% high-fat diet for 9 weeks to induce hepatic steatosis were then treated with Marimastat (100mg/kg; twice daily) by oral gavage for 2 weeks, which significantly reduced fasting blood glucose levels[7].

Protocol of Marimastat

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Hippocampal neurons (cultured in vitro on 7 days (DIV7))

Preparation Method

Rat hippocampal neurons were pretreated with Marimastat (5nM, 0.5, 5, 40, or 100μM) for 30min and then stimulated with glutamate (50μM) for an additional 30min, after which MMP-9-dependent cleavage of nectin-3 was assessed by immunoblotting, as indicated by the accumulation of the 17kDa proteolytic fragment.

Reaction Conditions

5nM, 0.5, 5, 40, or 100μM; 30min and additional 30min

Applications

0.5μM of Marimastat can inhibit MMP-9-dependent nectin-3 cleavage, while 5μM concentration can completely inhibit nectin-3 cleavage.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6 mice with high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis

Preparation Method

C57BL/6 mice were fed a 60% high-fat diet for 9 weeks to induce hepatic steatosis, then treated with Marimastat (100mg/kg; twice daily) via orogastric gavage for 2 weeks. At the end of the feeding experiments, mice were fasted for 6h. Glucose concentration was determined from tail vein blood.

Dosage form

100mg/kg; twice daily; 2 weeks; i.g.

Applications

Treatment with Marimastat significantly reduced fasting blood glucose levels in mice with high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis.
