  • Connective tissue, extracellular matrix constituents, and basement membranes are required components of all mammals, including humans. These components are the biological materials that provide rigidity, differentiation, attachments, and, in come cases, elasticity to biological systems.
  • Connective tissue components include, for example, collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, fibronectin, and laminin. These biochemicals make up or are components of structures such as skin, bone, teeth, tendons, cartilage, basement membranes, blood vessels, cornea, and vitreous humor.

  • MMPs are also involved in the biosynthesis of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) .
  • TNF- ⁇ is a cytokine that is believed to be produced initially as a 28 kDa cell-associated molecule. It is released as an active, 17 kDa form that can mediate many deleterious effects in vi tro and in vivo .
  • TNF can cause or contribute to the effects of inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis, graft rejection, fibrotic disease, cancer, infectious diseases, malaria, mycobacterial infection, meningitis, fever, psoriasis, cardiovascular/pulmonary effects (such as post-ischemic reperfusion injury, congestive heart failure hemorrhage, coagulation, and hyperoxic alveolar injury) , radiation damage, and acute phase responses like those seen with infections and sepsis during shock such as septic shock and hemodynamic shock.
  • Chronic disease of active TNF can cause cachexia and anorexia.
  • Chronic release of TNF can be lethal.
  • TNF- ⁇ convertase is a metaUoproteinase involved in the formation of active TNF- ⁇ . Inhibition of TNF- ⁇ convertase inhibits production of active TNF- a.
  • Some compounds that inhibit TNF- ⁇ convertase and MMPs involved in TNF- ⁇ biosynthesis are disclosed in PCT Patent Application No. WO 94/24140. Additional compounds that inhibit such enzymes are disclosed in PCT Patent Application No. WO 94/02466. Further inhibitors are disclosed in PCT Patent Application No. WO 97/20824.
  • Some compounds that inhibit certain MMPs have been shown to also inhibit the release of TNF (Gearing et al., Nature, 376, 555-557 (1994)). McGeehan et al . disclosed further compounds which inhibit MMPs and inhibit the release of TNF (Nature, 376, 558-561 (1994)) .
  • MMPs are involved in other biochemical processes as well. Included are the control of ovulation, post- partum uterine involution, possibly implantation of fertilized ova, cleavage of APP ( ⁇ -Amyloid Precursor Protein) to the amyloid plaque and inactivation of ⁇ protease inhibitor ( ⁇ i-PI) . Inhibition of these metalloproteinases permits, for example, the control of fertility and the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's Disease.

  • MMP-3, MMP-2, MMP-9, or MMP-13 in the presence of MMP-1 may be useful for the treatment of cancer, prevention of metastasis of cancer cells, or the inhibition of angiogenesis .
  • a therapy which does not inhibit MMP-1 but does selectively inhibit one or more of the other MMPs can have a therapeutically useful profile.
  • Osteoarthritis another prevalent disease wherein it is believed that cartilage degradation in flamed joints is at least partially caused by MMP-13 released from cells such as stimulated chrondrocytes , may be best treated by administration of drugs which selectively inhibit MMP-13. See, for example, Mitchell et al . , J. Clin . Invest . , 97, 761-768 (1996). See also Reboul et al., J. Clin. Invest., 97, 2011-2019 (1996).
  • MMPs Some inhibitors of MMPs are known. Examples include natural biochemicals such as tissue inhibitor of metaUoproteinase (TIMP) , a 2 -macroglobulin, and their analogs or derivatives. These are high molecular weight protein molecules that form inactive complexes with metalloproteinases . Some smaller peptide-like compounds that inhibit MMPs have also been described. Thiol group-containing amide or peptidyl amide-based metaUoproteinase (MMP) inhibitors are known as is shown in, for example, PCT Patent Application No. WO 95/12389. Further such inhibitors are described in PCT Patent Application No.
