Novel Carboxy-peptidyl compounds of Formula I are found to be useful inhibitors of matrix metalloendoproteinase-mediated diseases including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, tumor invasion in certain cancers, periodontal disease, corneal ulceration, proteinuria, dystrophobic epidermolysis bullosa, coronary thrombosis associated with atherosclerotic plaque rupture, and aneurysmal aortic disease. The matrix metalloendoproteinases are a family of zinc-containing proteinases including but not limited to stromelysin, collagenase, and gelatinase, that are capable of degrading the major components of articular cartilage and basement membranes. The inhibitors claimed herein may also be useful in preventing the pathological sequelae following a traumatic injury that could lead to a permanent disability. These compounds may also have utility as a means for birth control by preventing ovulation or implantation. ##STR1##
化学式I的新型羧肽化合物被发现可用作基质金属蛋白酶介导的疾病的抑制剂,包括骨关节炎、风湿性关节炎、脓毒性关节炎、某些癌症中的肿瘤侵袭、牙周病、角膜溃疡、蛋白尿、皮肤萎缩性表皮溃疡病、动脉粥样硬化斑块破裂引起的冠状动脉血栓形成以及动脉瘤性主动脉疾病。基质金属蛋白酶是一类含锌蛋白酶家族,包括但不限于基质金属蛋白酶、胶原酶和明胶酶,能够降解关节软骨和基底膜的主要成分。本声明的抑制剂也可能有助于预防因外伤而导致的病理性后遗症,可能导致永久残疾。这些化合物也可能作为一种避孕手段,通过阻止排卵或着床来实现。
