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.

The synthesis and enzyme inhibition data for a series of thiazine- and thiazepine-based matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors are described. The thiazine- and thiazepine-based inhibitors were discovered by optimization of hetererocyclic sulfonamide-based inhibitors. The most potent series of inhibitors was obtained by modification of the amino acid D-penicillamine. This amino acid provides a gem-dimethyl group on the thiazine or thiazepine ring which has a dramatic effect on the in vitro potency of this series. In particular, the sulfide 4a and the sulfone 5a were potent, broad-spectrum inhibitors of the MMPs with IC(50)'s against MMP-1 of 0.8 and 1.9 nM, respectively. The binding mode of this novel thiazepine-based series of MMP inhibitors was established based on X-ray crystallography of the complex of stromelysin and 4a.
