WAY-151693

WAY-151693 is a synthetic small molecule belonging to the sulfanilide class of organic compounds. It is a sulfonamide derivative of a hydroxamic acid and acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of human collagenase-3, also known as matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13). The compound binds to the active site of MMP-13, inhibiting its enzymatic activity. MMP-13 plays an important role in the degradation of extracellular matrix components such as collagen, which is relevant in various pathological processes including arthritis and cancer metastasis. WAY-151693 has been studied primarily in structural biology and drug design research settings but has not advanced into clinical development for any therapeutic indication[1][2][3][6].
