AROMATIC SULFONE HYDROXAMIC ACID
METALLOPROTEASE INHIBITOR
:
Technical Field
This invention is directed to proteinase (protease) inhibitors, and more particularly to the use of aromatic sulfone hydroxamic acid compounds including hydroxamates that, inter alia, are selective inhibitors of . matrix metalloproteinases in a process for treating conditions associated with pathological matrix metalloproteinase activity, the selective inhibitors themselves, compositions of proteinase inhibitors, intermediates for the syntheses of proteinase : inhibitors, and processes for the preparation of. proteinase inhibitors. . 25 . oo Background of the Invention
Co Connective tissue, extracellular matrix. = constituents and basement membranes are required components of all mammals. These components are the biological materials that provide rigidity, : . differentiation, attachments and, in some cases, elasticity to biological systems including human } beings and other mammals. Connective tissues components include, for example, collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, fibronectin and laminin. These
AMENDED SHEET 2004 -04- 2R
A biochemicals makeup, or are components of structures, - such as skin, bone, teeth, tendon, cartilage, basement membrane, blcod vessels, cornea and vitreous humor.
Under normal conditions, connective tissue turnover and/or repair processes are controlled and in equilibrium. The loss of this balance for ~~ whatever reason leads to a number of disease states.
Inhibition of the enzymes responsible loss of equilibrium provides a control mechanism for this tissue decomposition and, therefore, a treatment for : these diseases.
Degradation of connective tissue or [ connective tissue components is carried out by the action of proteinase enzymes released from resident tissue cells and/or invading inflammatory or tumor cells. A major class of enzymes involved in this function are the zinc metalloproteinases (metalloproteases).
The metalloprotease enzymes are divided into classes with some members having several different names in common use. Examples are: collagenase I (MMP-1, fibroblast collagenase; EC 3.4.24.3); collagenase II (MMP-8, neutrophil collagenase; EC 3.4.24.34), collagenase III (MMP-13), stromelysin 1 (MMP-3; EC 3.4.24.17), stromelysin 2 (MMP-10; EC 3.4.24.22), proteoglycanase, matrilysin ® (MMP-7), gelatinase A (MMP-2, 72 kDa gelatinase, basement membrane collagenase; EC 3.4.24.24), gelatinase B (MMP-9, 92 kDa gelatinase; EC 3.4.24.35), stromelysin 3 (MMP-11), metalloelastase (MMP-12, HME, human macrophage elastase) and membrane
MMP (MMP-14). MMP is an abbreviation or acronym representing the term Matrix Metalloprotease with the attached numerals providing differentiation between specific members of the MMP group.
—-
The uncontrolled breakdown of connective tissue by metalloproteases is a feature of many pathological conditions. Examples include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, septic arthritis; corneal,
S epidermal or gastric ulceration; tumor metastasis, invasion or angiogenesis; periodontal disease; proteinuria; Alzheimers Disease; coronary thrombosis and bone disease. Defective injury repair processes also occur. This can produce improper wound healing leading to weak repairs, adhesions and scarring.
These latter defects can lead to disfigurement and/or permanent disabilities as with post-surgical ® adhesions. :
Metalloproteases are also involved in the biosynthesis of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and inhibition of the production or action of TNF and related compounds is an important clinical disease treatment mechanism. TNF-a, for example, is a cytokine that at present is thought to be produced initially as a 28 kD cell-associated molecule. It is released as an active, 17 kD form that can mediate a large number of deleterious effects in vitro and in vivo. For example, TNF can cause and/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, hyperoxic alveolar injury, radiation damage and acute phase responses like those seen with infections and sepsis and during shock such as septic oo shock and hemodynamic shock. Chronic release of active TNF can cause cachexia and anorexia. TNF can be lethal, and TNF can help control the growth of tumor cells.

TNF-a convertase is a metalloprotease : involved in the formation of soluble TNF-a.
Inhibition of TNF-o convertase (TACE) inhibits production of active TNF-a. Compounds that inhibit : both MMPs activity and TNF-a production have been

Nature 370, 555-557 (1994) , : McGeehan et al., Nature 370, 558-561 (1994)). There remains a need for effective MMP inhibitors. There also remains a need for effective TNF-a convertase inhibiting agents.
MMPs are involved in other biochemical processes in mammals as well. Included is the control of ovulation, post-partum uterine involution, possibly implantation, cleavage of APP (B-Amyloid
Precursor Protein) to the amyloid plaque and inactivation of aj-protease inhibitor (a;-PI). :
Inhibition of these metalloproteases permits the control of fertility and the treatment or prevention of Alzheimers Disease. In addition, increasing and maintaining the levels of an endogenous or administered serine protease inhibitor drug or : 0 biochemical such as aj-PI supports the treatment and oo prevention of diseases such as emphysema, pulmonary diseases, inflammatory diseases and diseases of aging } such as loss of skin or organ stretch and resiliency. } - Inhibition of selected MMPs can also be } desirable in other instances. Treatment of cancer oo and/or inhibition of metastasis and/or inhibition of : angiogenesis are examples of approaches to the treatment of diseases wherein the selective inhibition of stromelysin, gelatinase A or B, or

A drug that does not inhibit collagenase I can have a superior therapeutic profile.
