Research Interests
Dr. Golub’s research focuses on mechanisms of collagen degradation including bone resorption during periodontal disease (and relevant medical disorders) particularly the role of tissue (“Host”)-derived matrix metalloproteinases, such as the collagenases (e.g., MMP-8) and gelatinases (e.g., MMP-9). In this regard, he was the first to develop government-approved (USA, Canada, Europe) MMP-inhibitor drugs for any disease, but particularly for periodontitis and the chronic inflammatory skin disease, rosacea. The same medications have also demonstrated clinical efficacy, and safety, in humans with other inflammatory-collagenolytic diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The first generation medications are novel NON-antibiotic regimens of tetracyclines which function, at least in part, by binding calcium and zinc in the catalytic domain of these neutral proteinases. Second-generation medications being developed are bi-phenolic rather than tetra-phenolic, with a similar (even enhanced) cation-binding site, and are derived from novel chemical modifications of the natural spice curcumin. His research includes, but is not limited to, cell and tissue culture, in vivo studies using different animal models, and clinical trials.
