The discovery of a novel series of heterocyclic matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) inhibitors is described. Published crystal structures of peptidyl hydroxamates bound to MMPs were the basis for the rational design of diketopiperazine (DKP) inhibitors. Combinatorial libraries were prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibit collagenase-1, stromelysin-1, and gelatinase-B substrate hydrolysis. Deconvolution of active pools resulted in the identification of potent inhibitors (IC50's < 100 nM) of collagenase-1 and gelatinase-B, with the most potent inhibitor exhibiting an IC50 of 30 nM against collagenase-1. A description of the combinatorial evaluation process, as well as initial SAR interpretation for this novel series, is provided.

A series of hydroxamic acids related to the non-selective matrix metalloprotease inhibitor Batimastat is described, which inhibits the proteolytic cleavage of the low affinity IgE receptor from cell membrane preparations. Limited SAR studies suggest that the structural requirements for effective inhibition are distinct from those required for the inhibition of collagenase.

The synthesis and enzyme inhibition data for a series of thiadiazole urea matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors are described. A broad screening effort was utilized to identify several thiadiazoles which were weak inhibitors of stromelysin. Optimization of the thiadiazole leads to include an alpha-amino acid side chain with variable terminal amide substituents provided a series of ureas which were moderately effective stromelysin inhibitors, with Ki's between 0.3 and 1.0 microM. The most effective analogues utilized an L-phenylalanine as the amino acid component. In particular, unsubstituted 46 had a Ki of 710 nM, while the p-fluoro analogue 52 displayed increased potency (100 nM). Stromelysin inhibition was further improved using a pentafluorophenylalanine substituent which resulted in 70, a 14 nM inhibitor. While gelatinase inhibition was generally poor, the use of 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine as the amide component usually provided for enhanced activity, with 71 inhibiting gelatinase with a Ki of 770 nM. The combination of this heterocycle with a p-fluorophenylalanine substituent provided the only analogue, 69, with collagenase activity (13 microM). The SAR for analogues described within this series can be rationalized through consideration of the X-ray structure recently attained for70 complexed to stromelysin. Uniquely, this structure showed the inhibitor to be completely orientated on the left side of the enzyme cleft. These results suggest that thiadiazole urea heterocycles which incorporate a substituted phenylalanine can provide selective inhibitors of stromelysin. Careful selection of the amide substituent can also provide for analogues with modest gelatinase inhibition.

A novel strategy to understand affinity and selectivity for enzyme inhibitors using information from ligands and target protein 3D structures is described. It was applied to 2-arylsulfonyl-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline-3-carboxylates and -hydroxamates as inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases MMP-3 (stromelysin-1) and MMP-8 (human neutrophil collagenase). As the first step, consistent and predictive 3D-QSAR models were derived using CoMFA, CoMSIA, and GRID/Golpe approaches, leading to the identification of binding regions where steric, electronic, or hydrophobic effects are important for affinity. These models were validated using multiple analyses using two or five randomly chosen cross-validation groups and randomizations of biological activities. Second, 3D-QSAR models were derived based on the affinity ratio IC(50)(MMP-8)/IC(50)(MMP-3), allowing the identification of key ligand determinants for selectivity toward one of both enzymes. In addition to this ligands' view, the third step encompasses a chemometrical approach based on principal component analysis (PCA) of multivariate GRID descriptors to uncover the major differences between both protein binding sites with respect to their GRID probe interaction pattern. The resulting information, based on the accurate knowledge of the target protein 3D structures, led to a consistent picture in good agreement with experimentally observed differences in selectivity toward MMP-8 or MMP-3. The interpretation of all three classes of statistical models leads to detailed SAR information for MMP inhibitors, which is in agreement with available data for binding site topologies, ligand affinities, and selectivities. Thus the combined chemical analyses provide guidelines and accurate activity predictions for designing novel, selective MMP inhibitors.

A new series of thieno[3,2-h]cinnolinone analogues was synthesized which is structurally related to 2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexahydrothieno [3,2-h]cinnolin-3-one 1, a weak inhibitor of the matrix metalloproteinase MMP-8 (human neutrophil collagenase). Preliminary SAR studies have shown that while C4a-methyl, C7-acetylamino, C7 and C8-nitro substitution, and C4-C4a olefination provided no increase in activity relative to 1, C8-acetylamino substitution as in 5 and 8 was favourable. Moreover, to predict how the thieno[3,2-h]cinnolinone inhibitors might bind to MMP-8, the unsubstituted compound 9 was docked into the MMP-8 crystal structure. These studies revealed that inhibitor 9 does not seem to be able to coordinate the catalytically-active zinc ion but preferably interact with the peptide-binding region of the active site.

The 14 different carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes as well as the 23 different matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) isolated up to now in higher vertebrates play important physiological functions in these organisms. Unsubstituted sulfonamides act as high-affinity inhibitors for the first type of these enzymes, whereas hydroxamates strongly inhibit the latter ones. Since the active site geometry around the zinc ion in these two types of metalloenzymes is rather similar, we tested whether sulfonylated amino acid hydroxamates of the type RSO(2)NX-AA-CONHOH (X = H, benzyl, substituted benzyl; AA = amino acid moiety, such as Gly, Ala, Val, Leu) with well-known inhibitory properties against MMPs and Clostridium histolyticum collagenase (ChC, another zinc enzyme related to the MMPs) might also act as CA inhibitors. We also investigated whether N-hydroxysulfonamides of the type RSO(2)NHOH (which are effective CA inhibitors) inhibit MMPs and ChC. Here we report several potent sulfonylated amino acid hydroxamate CA inhibitors (with inhibition constants in the range of 5-40 nM, against the human isozymes hCA I and hCA II, and 10-50 nM, against the bovine isozyme bCA IV), as well as preliminary SAR for this new class of non-sulfonamide CA inhibitors. Some N-hydroxysulfonamides also showed inhibitory properties (in the micromolar range) against MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9, and ChC. Thus, the SO(2)NHOH group is a new zinc-binding function for the design of MMP inhibitors. Both CA as well as MMPs are involved, among others, in carcinogenesis and tumor invasion processes. On the basis of these findings, we suggest that the mechanism of antitumor action with some hydroxamate inhibitors might also involve inhibition of some CA isozymes (such as CA IX, CA XII, and CA XIV) present only in tumor cell membranes, in addition to collagenases/gelatinases of the MMP type. Our data also suggest that it should be possible to develop dual enzyme inhibitors that would strongly inhibit both these metalloenzymes, CAs and MMPs, based on the nature of the R, AA, and X moieties in the above formula. Compact X (such as H) and AA (such as Gly) moieties favor CA over MMP inhibition, whereas bulkier X (benzyl, substituted benzyl, etc.) and AA (such as Val, Leu) moieties and substituted-aryl R groups are advantageous for obtaining potent MMP and ChC inhibitors, which show lower affinity for CA.

A series of hydroxamates was prepared from an aminoproline scaffold and tested for efficacy as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors. Detailed SAR for the series is reported for five enzymes within the MMP family, and a number of inhibitors, such as compound 47, display broad-spectrum activity with sub-nanomolar potency for some enzymes. Modifications of the P1' portion of the molecule played a key role in affecting both potency and selectivity within the MMP family. Longer-chain aliphatic substituents in this region of the molecule tended to increase potency for MMP-3 and decrease potency for MMP-1, as exemplified by compounds 48-50, while aromatic substituents, as in compound 52, generated broad-spectrum inhibition. The data is rationalized based upon X-ray crystal data which is also presented. While the in vitro peroral absorption seemed to be less predictable, it tended to decrease with longer and more hydrophilic substituents. Finally, a rat model of osteoarthritis was used to evaluate the efficacy of these compounds, and a direct link was established between their pharmacokinetics and their in vivo efficacy.

A series of carboxylic acids were prepared from a propargylglycine scaffold and tested for efficacy as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors. Detailed SAR for the series is reported for four enzymes within the MMP family. The inhibitors were typically potent against collagenase-3 (MMP-13) and gelatinase A (MMP-2), while they spared collagenase-1 (MMP-1) and only moderately inhibited stromelysin (MMP-3). Compound 40 represents a typical inhibition profile of a compound with reasonable potency. Introduction of polar groups was required in order to generate inhibitors with acceptable water solubility, and this often resulted in a loss of potency as in compound 63. High serum protein binding proved to be a difficult hurdle with many compounds such as 48 showing >99% binding. Some compounds such as 64 displayed approximately 90% binding, but no reliable method was discovered for designing molecules with low protein binding. Finally, selected data regarding the pharmacokinetic behavior of these compounds is presented.

Potent and selective inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases was demonstrated for a series of sulfonamide-based hydroxamic acids. The design of the heterocyclic sulfonamides incorporates a six- or seven-member central ring with a P2' substituent that can be modified. Binding interactions of this substituent at the S2' site are believed to contribute to high inhibitory potency against stromelysin, collagenase-3 and gelatinases A and B, and to provide selectivity against collagenase-1 and matrilysin. An X-ray structure of a stromelysin inhibitor complex was obtained to provide insights into the SAR and selectivity trends observed for the series.

A series of carboxylic acids was prepared based on cyclohexylglycine scaffolds and tested for potency as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors. Detailed SAR for the series is reported for five enzymes within the MMP family, and a number of inhibitors such as compound 18 display low nanomolar potency for MMP-2 and MMP-13, while selectively sparing MMP-1 and MMP-7.
