title: DNA-encoded chemical libraries for the discovery of MMP-3 inhibitors.
abstract: Encoded self-assembling chemical (ESAC) libraries are characterized by the covalent display of chemical moieties at the extremity of self-assembling oligonucleotides carrying a unique DNA sequence for the identification of the corresponding chemical moiety. We have used ESAC library technology in a two-step selection procedure for the identification of novel inhibitors of stromelysin-1 (MMP-3), a matrix metalloproteinase involved in both physiological and pathological tissue remodeling processes, yielding novel inhibitors with micromolar potency.
