Abstract
A series of N-carboxyalkyl dipeptides were synthesized to evaluate the ir inhibitory activities against human stromelysin-1(MMP-3), collagena se(MMP-1), and gelatinase A(MMP-2). Structures with a homophenylalanin e residue at P-1' substituted at the para position with small alkyl gr oups are potent inhibitors of (MMP-3) and (MMP-2) (K-i' s 2-40 nM), bu t weak inhibitors of (MMP-1).
