ADAMTS-5 Inhibitor(Cat No.:R026137)is a small-molecule compound designed to block the activity of ADAMTS-5 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-5), a key enzyme involved in cartilage degradation. Overexpression of ADAMTS-5 contributes to the breakdown of aggrecan, an essential structural component of cartilage, driving osteoarthritis and related joint diseases. By inhibiting ADAMTS-5, this compound helps preserve cartilage integrity and reduce disease progression. It is widely used in musculoskeletal research to explore disease-modifying osteoarthritis therapies and to better understand extracellular matrix regulation in degenerative conditions.
