alpha-Amino-beta-sulphone hydroxamates as potent MMP-13 inhibitors that spare MMP-1

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Oct 22;11(20):2719-22. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00556-x.

Abstract

A series of alpha-amino-beta-sulphone hydroxamates was prepared and evaluated for potency versus MMP-13 and selectivity versus MMP-1. Various substituents were employed on the alpha-amino group (P(1) position), as well as different groups attached to the sulphone group extending into P(1)'. Low nanomolar potency was obtained for MMP-13 with selectivity versus MMP-1 of >1000x for a number of analogues.
