Synthesis and structure-activity relationship analysis of caffeic acid amides as selective matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Mar 1;23(5):1206-11. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.01.027. Epub 2013 Jan 16.

Abstract

Four series of acid amides were synthesized, and through measurement using a fluorogenic substrate assay with human recombinant MMP-1, MMP-2 and MMP-9, compound 3f showed considerable inhibitory activities against MMP-2, MMP-9 and the best selectivity over MMP-1. Preliminary structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that caffeic acid amides with electron-donating groups at para-position of amino phenyl group showed better inhibitory activities and selectivity than those with electron-withdrawing groups, and the presence of adjacent dihydroxy in the caffeoyl group was very important for the MMP-2 and MMP-9 inhibitory activities.
