A novel series of sulfone N-formylhydroxylamines (retrohydroxamates) have been investigated as matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) inhibitors. The substitution of the ether linkage of ABT-770 (5) with a sulfone group 13a led to a substantial increase in activity against MMP-9 but was accompanied by a loss of selectivity for inhibition of MMP-2 and -9 over MMP-1 and diminished oral exposure. Replacement of the biphenyl P1' substituent with a phenoxyphenyl group provided compounds that are highly selective for inhibition of MMP-2 and -9 over MMP-1. Optimization of the substituent adjacent to the retrohydroxamate center in this series led to the clinical candidate ABT-518 (6), a highly potent, selective, orally bioavailable MMP inhibitor that has been shown to significantly inhibit tumor growth in animal cancer models.

A process for the preparation of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor ABT-518 has been developed. Significant improvements have been made to the first generation synthesis and are described here. The new process is very robust and efficient; multikilogram quantities of the title compound have been synthesized for clinical trials. ABT-518 was prepared by this six-step synthetic sequence in 51% overall yield with >99% ee.
