title: Improved synthesis of ADAM10 inhibitor GI254023X.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The metalloproteinases ADAM10 and ADAM17 are involved in various diseases: neurodegeneration, cancer and inflammation.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The inhibition of these proteases is a promising target in the treatment of inflammation and cancer.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In this study, we present an improved synthesis of the ADAM10 reference inhibitor GI254023X with a higher overall yield, enhanced detection ability and increased acid stability, providing easier handling.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This upscaled synthesis, free of diastereomeric intermediates, ensures single-batch identity, thus warranting its reproducibility in further biological investigations.
