The invention is a method of inhibiting the activity of membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase (MT-MMP) in biological systems. Accordingly, the invention permits the treatment of medical conditions in mammals that are characterized by MT-MMP activity, and especially those conditions characterized by excessive MT-MMP activity. The method employs a tetracycline compound, preferably a non- antimicrobial tetracycline, and more preferably 6-demethyl-6-deoxy-4- de(dimethylamino)tetracycline (CMT-3) or 6-.alpha.-deoxy-5-hydroxy-4- de(dimethylamino)tetracycline (CMT-8) to inhibit the MT-MMP activity.

L'invention concerne une méthode d'inhibition de l'activité de métalloprotéases matricielles de type membranaires (MT-MMP) dans des systèmes biologiques. Ainsi, l'invention permet de traiter chez des mammaliens des affections médicales se caractérisant par une activité de MT-MMP, ces affections en particulier se caractérisant par une activité de MT-MMP excessive. La méthode consiste à faire appel à un composé de tétracycline, de préférence une tétracycline non antimicrobienne et idéalement une 6-déméthyl-6-désoxy-4-dé(diméthylamino)tétracycline (CMT-3) ou une 6-.alpha.-désoxy-5-hydroxy-4-dé(diméthylamino)tétracycline (CMT-8), pour inhiber l'activité de MT-MMP.
