Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterized by an overexpression of ADAM-10 with increased release of NKG2D ligands.
New ADAM-10 selective inhibitors were designed and synthesized.
Compound 3 showed improved ADAM-10 selectivity over ADAM-17 and MMPs.
Compound 3 reduced the shedding of NKG2D ligands in three different HL cell lines.
