Abstract

5'-Phenyl-3'H-spiro[indoline-3,2'-[1,3,4]thiadiazol]-2-one inhibitors of ADAMTS-5 (Aggrecanase-2) have been prepared via commercially available starting materials. Selected compounds 23, 33-35 show sub-micromolar ADAMTS-5 potency and strong SAR trends with selectivity over the related metalloproteases ADAMTS-4 (Aggrecanase-1), MMP12, and MMP13. This series of compounds represents progress toward a selective ADAMTS-5 inhibitor as a disease modifying osteoarthritis drug.
