1D7X - PubMed Abstract:
The synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of a series of proline-based matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors are described. The data reveal a remarkable potency enhancement in those compounds that contain an sp(2) center at the C-4 carbon of the ring relative to similar, saturated compounds. This effect was noted in compounds that contained a functionalized oxime moiety or an exomethylene at C-4, and the potencies were typically <10 nM for MMP-3 and <100 nM for MMP-1. Comparisons were then made against compounds with similar functionality where the C-4 carbon was reduced to sp(3) hybridization and the effect was typically an order of magnitude loss in potency. A comparison of compounds 14 and 34 exemplifies this observation. An X-ray structure was obtained for a stromelysin-inhibitor complex which provided insights into the SAR and selectivity trends observed within the series. In vitro intestinal permeability data for many compounds was also accumulated.
