Further development of N-carboxyalkyl dipeptide inhibitors of stromelysin-l (MMP-3) led to the discovery of C-carboxyalkyl dipeptide analogs with improved oral bioavailability. An in vivo assay of human MMP-3 mediated degradation of a macromolecular substrate in an extravascular space is described and inhibition studies are reported. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
