Abstract

Although matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in the regulation of numerous physiological processes, evidence of their pathological roles have also been obtained in the last decades, making MMPs attractive therapeutic targets for several diseases. Recent discoveries of their involvement in central nervous system (CNS) disorders, and in particular in Alzheimer's disease (AD), have paved the way to consider MMP modulators as promising therapeutic strategies. Over the past few decades, diverse approaches have been undertaken in the design of therapeutic agents targeting MMPs for various purposes, leading, more recently, to encouraging developments. In this article, we will present recent examples of inhibitors ranging from small molecules and peptidomimetics to biologics. We will also discuss the scientific knowledge that has led to the development of emerging tools and techniques to overcome the challenges of selective MMP inhibition.

  • MMPs are known to be linked to extracellular protein degradation including Aβ, whereas MMPs upregulated in AD may also confer neuroinflammation, synaptic dysfunction, and neuronal death.

    “MMPs are known to be linked to extracellular protein degradation including Aβ (72), whereas MMPs upregulated in AD may also confer neuroinflammation, synaptic dysfunction, and neuronal death (73, 74).”

    From Modeling late-onset Alzheimer’s disease neuropathology via direct neuronal reprogramming (2024) · cites this paper as [74]

    The 'General implication of MMPs in AD' section identifies MMPs as Aβ-degrading enzymes and discusses AD-associated MMPs in relation to neuroinflammation and neuronal death. It attributes synaptic deficits to Aβ accumulation, however, rather than stating that upregulated MMPs cause synaptic dysfunction. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
