Dj. Hunter et al., AMINOPHOSPHONIC ACID-CONTAINING INHIBITORS OF HUMAN COLLAGENASE - MODIFICATION OF THE P-1 RESIDUE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(24), 1994, pp. 2833-2836
A series of peptidomimetic aminophosphonic acid derivatives was synthe
sized and evaluated in vitro for inhibition of human fibroblast collag
enase activity. Incorporation of a bromonaphthalimidoethyl moiety at t
he P-1 position led to potent inhibitors, such as 14a (IC50 0.02 mu M)
.
