PBS (Phosphate Buffed Saline), pH 7.4 extract of Guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.) inhibits the active MMP-2 like molecule both of plant origin as well as active MMP-2 of human (breast cancer patients’ saliva) origin. The zymogram and ELISA were developed of different samples following standard methods. The isolation and identification of the new MMP-2 inhibitor(s) for its molecular characterization is under investigation.
