Chromen-based TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitors: design, synthesis, and biological evaluation

Bioorg Med Chem. 2008 Jan 1;16(1):530-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2007.09.014. Epub 2007 Sep 14.

Abstract

A series of coumarin types MMP inhibitors were designed based on gelastatin hydroxamates (1) and evaluated for TACE, cellular TNF-alpha, and NO inhibitory activities. Among them, compounds 9b had potent inhibitory activities in enzymatic and cellular assays and good selectivity to MMP-2 and MMP-9. Further investigation of 9b will be carried out for its efficacy in RA animal model system.
