Publication Abstract from PubMed

Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) can be considered an attractive target to study selective inhibitors useful in the development of new therapies for lung and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, a new series of arylsulfonamide carboxylates, with increased hydrophilicity resulting from conjugation with a beta-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine moiety, were designed and synthesized as MMP-12 selective inhibitors. Their inhibitory activity was evaluated on human MMPs by using the fluorimetric assay, and a crystallographic analysis was performed to characterize their binding mode. Among these glycoconjugates, a nanomolar MMP-12 inhibitor with improved water solubility, compound 3 [(R)-2-(N-(2-(3-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-d-glucopyranosyl)thioureido)ethyl)biphe nyl-4-ylsulfonamido)-3-methylbutanoic acid], was identified.
