摘要:
Structure-activity relationships are described for a series of succinyl hydroxamic acids 1a-o and their carboxylic acid analogues 2a-o as inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases MMP-3 and MMP-2. For this series (P1' =(CH2)(3)Ph, P2'=t-Bu) selectivity for the inhibition of MMP-2 was found to be strongly dependent on P3' (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
