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].

| 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. |
