摘要:
A series of beta-sulfonamide piperidine hydroxamates were prepared and shown to be potent inhibitors of the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) sheddase with excellent selectivity against MMP-1, -2, -3, and -9. This was achieved by exploiting subtle differences within the otherwise highly conserved S-1' binding pocket of the active sites within the metalloprotease family. In addition, it was discovered that the introduction of polarity to the P-1 and P-1' groups reduced the projected human clearance. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
