S. Hanessian et al., N-aryl sulfonyl homocysteine hydroxamate inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases: further probing of the S-1, S-1 ', and S-2 ' pockets, J MED CHEM, 44(19), 2001, pp. 3066-3073
A series of N-arylsulfonyl S-alkyl homocysteine hydroxamic acids were synth
esized with variations in three subsites corresponding to P-1, P-1', and P-
2'. Enzyme assays with a variety of MMPs revealed activity at the low nanom
olar level.
