Broad spectrum matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors: an examination of succinamide hydroxamate inhibitors with P1 C alpha gem-disubstitution

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Jun 16;8(12):1443-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00255-8.

Abstract

A series of P1 C alpha gem-disubstituted succinamide hydroxamate matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors were prepared stereoselectively and evaluated in vitro for their ability to inhibit MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3. It was found that while methyl/allyl substitution as in 2 and 18 provided compounds that were broad spectrum inhibitors and nearly equipotent with parent inhibitor 1, a larger group such as bis-allyl as in 13 or gem-cyclopentyl as in 14 significantly reduced enzyme inhibition.
