Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cleave and degrade most components of the extracellular matrix, and unregulated MMP activity has been correlated to cancer and metastasis. Hence there is a burgeoning need to develop inhibitors that bind selectively to structurally similar MMPs. The inhibition profiles of peptidomimetics containing Cα substituents at the α,β unsaturated carbon were evaluated against the recombinant forms of ADAM17, MMP1, and MMP9. The dicarboxylic acid D2 and hydroxamate C2 inhibited MMP9 but not MMP1. The unsaturated compound E2 displayed selective inhibition for MMP1, compared with the saturated precursor C2, with an IC50 value of 3.91 μm. The molecular basis for this selectivity was further investigated by the molecular docking of E2 and D2 into the active sites of MMP1 and MMP9. These data demonstrate hydrogen-bonding interactions between the carbonyl group of the Cα substituent of E2 and the side chain of Asn180 present in the active site of MMP1. Conversely, the docked MMP9-D2 structure shows hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding between the ligand’s morpholine substituent and second carboxylic acid group with Leu187 and an amide, respectively. This study suggests that substituents other than P1′ and P2′ may confer selectivity among MMPs and may aid in the search for novel lead compounds.

Self-polarized piezoelectric devices have attracted significant interest owing to their fabrication processes with low energy consumption. Herein, novel poling-free piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) based on self-polarized polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) induced by the incorporation of different surface-modified barium titanate nanoparticles (BTO NPs) were prepared via a fully printing process. To reveal the effect of intermolecular interactions between PVDF and NP surface groups, BTO NPs were modified with hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA) and hydrophobic 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (PFDTES) to yield PDA-BTO and PFD-BTO, respectively. This study demonstrates that the stronger hydrogen bonding interactions existed in PFD-BTO/PVDF composite film comparative to the PDA-BTO/PVDF composite film induced the higher β-phase formation (90%), which was evidenced by the XRD, FTIR and DSC results, as well as led to a better dispersion of NPs and improved mechanical properties of composite films. Consequently, PFD-BTO/PVDF-based PENGs without electric poling exhibited a significantly improved output voltage of 5.9 V and power density of 102 μW cm−3, which was 1.8 and 2.9 times higher than that of PDA-BTO/PVDF-based PENGs, respectively. This study provides a promising approach for advancing the search for high-performance, self-polarized PENGs in next-generation electric and electronic industries.
