prepared. Judging from the result of model dipeptide (Z-Ala-Phe-OMe) formation, these compounds are found to be new effective additives for peptidesynthesis by the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) method at the points of high yield and no detectable racemization.
Astacin metalloproteinases, in particular meprinsα and β, as well as ovastacin, are emerging drug targets. Drug‐discovery efforts have led to the development of the first potent and selective inhibitors in the last few years. However, the most recent compounds are based on a highly flexible tertiary amine scaffold that could cause metabolic liabilities or decreased potency due to the entropic penalty
The present invention relates to novel hydroxamic acid derivatives useful as inhibitors of astacin metalloproteinases, in particular procollagen C-proteinase (PCP) enzymes, meprins, ovastacin and/or nematode astacins; more particularly human or mammalian meprin a, meprin β, BMP-1, ovastacin and/or DPY-31 from nematodes; pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds; methods for treatment or prophylaxis of diseases or conditions, especially such that are related to said metalloproteinases; and compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for use in such methods.
The present invention provides hydroxamic acid compounds, and methods of preparation of these compounds. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the hydroxamic acid compounds. The present invention provides methods of treating a cell proliferative disorder, such as a cancer, by administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention.
