MMP=matrix metalloproteinase=zinc-dependent endopeptidase that degrade extracellular matrix proteins. They are present in dentin and when exposed to a weak acid or even water become active so they do help slow decay grow.
protease inhibitors
- Chlorhexidine
galardin (synthetic MMP-inhibitor)
green tea polyphenols (especially epigalolocatechin-3-gallate)
doxycylcines
Quaternary ammonium compounds
- benzalkonium chloride bac like in Bisco's uni-etch
- METMAC
- MAPTAC
- MDPB in clearfil SE Protect
Reference - list of MMPp inhibitors
MMP and Clearfil SE - helps with SE too (article saved)
Effect CHX in SE Adhesion - tested up to 1% with no decrease in initial bond strength (article saved)

Studies show that the application of chlorhexidine or benzalkonium
chloride solutions before or in conjunction with the placement of both
total- and self-etch adhesives has the potential to inhibit MMP
activity, resulting in a more durable adhesive interface.

In any case, based on this(32) and other studies,
37,38 the
author’s current technique when using a rewetting protocol for
total-etch systems is the placement of a 2% chlorhexidine solution after
the etching step.
