title: Suppression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 mediated invasiveness by a novel matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor, BE16627B.
abstract: Cell invasion is a nature of malignant gliomas, demeriting to many efforts of the treatment. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) is acknowledged as a key factor in this complicated process. The aim of this study was to investigate whether inhibition of MMP activity in malignant glioma cells could be achieved by a novel agent, BE16627B (BE). Malignant glioma cell lines, U87MG, U251MG, and U373MG, were employed to evaluate inhibitory effect on zymogram, type IV collagenolysis assay, and haptoinvasion assay for 24 h exposure of BE, following preliminar
