The present invention provides a method of inhibiting matrix metallo-proteinases (MMPs) in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to the patient an effective matrix metalloproteinase inhibiting amount of the N-carboxymethyl substituted benzolactams of formula (1):
1
wherein A is —OH or —NRR′. Such inhibitors are useful in treating neoplasms, atherosclorosis, and chronic inflammatory diseases.
The present invention also provides novel N-carboxymethyl substituted benzolactams of formula (1a):
2
wherein A is —NRR′.
