(Rac)-Tanomastat Rac)-BAY 12-9566) is the racemate of Tanomastat. Tanomastat (BAY 12-9566) is an orally bioavailable, non-peptidic biphenyl matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) inhibitor with a Zn-binding carboxyl group. The Ki values are 11, 143, 301, and 1470 nM for MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13 respectively. Tanomastat shows anti-invasive and antimetastatic activity in several experimental tumor models[3].
