Bhag, I think Peter Johnson was referring to AG3340 as a second generation MMP inhibitor, in the context of BBIOY's Marimastat as a first generation product. As AGPH as pointed out, there are a family of MMP's which perform a variety of functions. AG3340 has apparently a much higher therapeutic index than Marimastat. It inhibits the desired MMP's (those implicated in cancer) to a greater extent, and it minimally inhibits the MMP's that perform other, necessary, tasks.
