Iincyclinide, also known as CMT-3 and COL-3, is an MMP inhibitor and a chemically-modified tetracycline with potential antineoplastic activity patented by Chas. Pfizer & Co. Incyclinide has been shown to experimentally suppress prostate cancer, colon adenocarcinoma and melanoma invasiveness in cell culture. Incyclinide is an especially effective inhibitor of the growth and viability of filamentous fungi. Unfortunately, in clinical trials, Iincyclinide failed to demonstrate efficacy in Lymphoma, Melanoma, Renal Cell Carcinoma, and some other tumors.

Prinomastat is a synthetic hydroxamic acid derivative with potential antineoplastic activity. Prinomastat inhibits matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) (specifically, MMP-2, 9, 13, and 14), thereby inducing extracellular matrix degradation, and inhibiting angiogenesis, tumor growth and invasion, and metastasis. As a lipophilic agent, prinomastat crosses the blood-brain barrier. Pfizer conducted multicenter, randomized, double-bind, placebo-controlled trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of prinomastat in combination with standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced hormone refractory prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. However, this study has been terminated for the reason that Prinomastat did not improve the outcome of chemotherapy in non-small cell Lung cancer patients.
