Popis: N -[[[(5-chloro-2-benzothiazolyl) thiolphenyllacetyll- L -cysteine (WY-45, 368) is a potent inhibitor of human skin fibroblast collagenase. Kinetic data show that the inhibition is competitive, with a Ki of 3.5 μM. WY-45, 368 inhibits neither of two other metalloproteinases, thermolysin and angiotensin converting enzyme, nor does it inhibit clostridial collagenase--thus indicating specificity for mammalian collagenase.
