A series of alpha-glutamic acid scaffold based 4-(benzamido)-4-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) butanoic acids were designed and synthesized as new ADAMTS inhibitors. The compounds dose-dependently inhibited the enzymatic activities of ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5. One of the most active compound 2h potently inhibited ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 with IC(50) values of 1.2 and 0.8 mu M, respectively. These inhibitors may serve as new lead compounds for further development of therapeutics to treat osteoarthritis. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
