The design and synthesis of a series of highly selective hydroxamate inhibitors of stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) is described.
Among them , we identified the 5-benzoyloxyisoquinolin-1 (2 H) - one derivative as the most selective PARP-2 inhibitor reported so far , with a PARP-2 / PARP-1 selectivity index greater than 60.
We propose to call this enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 2 (PARP-2).
The highest enzyme activity was observed in the MCD-NAM i.p. group.
