Sultam hydroxamates as novel matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors

J Med Chem. 2004 Jun 3;47(12):2981-3. doi: 10.1021/jm049833g.

Abstract

In this communication we describe the design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel sultam hydroxamates 4 as MMP-2, -9, and -13 inhibitors. Compound 26 was found to be an active inhibitor (MMP-2 IC(50) = 1 nM) with 1000-fold selectivity over MMP-1 and good oral bioavailability (F = 43%) in mouse. An X-ray crystal structure of 26 in MMP-13 confirms the key hydrogen bonds and prime side binding in the active site.
