Product Information
3-Acetyl-6-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one is a potent inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases. It is a crystalline compound that has been shown to inhibit in vivo activity of various matrix metalloproteinases, including collagenase and gelatinase. The inhibition of these enzymes reduces the degradation of cartilage and bone, which may be useful for treatment of osteoarthritis. The crystal structure contains an acetyl group in the 3 position on the chromene ring with a methoxy group at the 6 position on the ring. This compound was synthesized by coupling benzoyl chloride with 3,5,5′-trihydroxybenzaldehyde in 80% yield.
