H. Haruyama et al., MATLYSTATINS, NEW INHIBITORS OF TYPE-IV COLLAGENASES FROM ACTINOMADURA-ATRAMENTARIA .3. STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION OF MATLYSTATIN-A TO MATLYSTATIN-F, Journal of antibiotics, 47(12), 1994, pp. 1473-1480
The structures of matlystatins, novel type IV collagenase inhibitors i
solated from Actinomadur atramentaria, have been determined by a syste
matic application of homo- and heteronuclear 2D NMR and FAB-MS/MS tech
niques. Their structures were characterized by the presence of piperaz
ic acid and hydroxamic acid moieties, structural motifs often seen in
protease inhibitors.
