Pyran-containing sulfonamide hydroxamic acids: potent MMP inhibitors that spare MMP-1

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Jul 5;14(13):3389-95. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.04.083.

Abstract

The SAR of a series of sterically hindered sulfonamide hydroxamic acids with relatively large P1' groups is described. The compounds typically spare MMP-1 while being potent inhibitors of MMP-13. The metabolically more stable compounds in the series contain either a monocyclic or bicyclic pyran ring adjacent to the hydroxamate group. Despite the sparing of MMP-1, pre-clinical and clinical studies revealed that fibrosis in rats and MSS in humans is still produced.
