An enthalpic basis of additivity in biphenyl hydroxamic acid ligands for stromelysin-1

Fragment based drug discovery remains a successful tool for pharmaceutical lead discovery. Although based upon the principle of thermodynamic additivity, the underlying thermodynamic basis is poorly understood. A thermodynamic additivity analysis was performed using stromelysin-1 and a series of biphenyl hydroxamate ligands identified through fragment additivity. Our studies suggest that, in this instance, additivity arises from enthalpic effects, while interaction entropies are unfavorable; this thermodynamic behavior is masked by proton transfer. Evaluation of the changes in constant pressure heat capacities during binding suggest that solvent exclusion from the binding site does not account for the dramatic affinity enhancements observed.

Biphenyl hydroxamate inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases

Compounds of formula STR1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof inhibit matrix metalloproteinases and TNFα secretion and are useful in the treatment of inflammatory disease states. Also disclosed are matrix metalloproteinases and TNFα secretion inhibiting compositions and a method for inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases and TNFα secretion.

Discovery of potent nonpeptide inhibitors of stromelysin using SAR by NMR

With the use of an NMR-based method, potent (IC50 25 nM) nonpeptide inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinase stromelysin (MMP-3) were discovered. The method, called SAR by NMR (for structure-activity relationships by nuclear magnetic resonance), involves the identification, optimization, and linking of compounds that bind to proximal sites on a protein. Using this technique, two ligands that bind weakly to stromelysin (acetohydroxamic acid, K(D) = 17 mM; 3-(cyanomethyl)-4'-hydroxybiphenyl, K(D) = 0.02 mM) were identified. On the basis of NMR-derived structural information, the two fragments were connected to produce a 15 nM inhibitor of this enzyme. This compound was rapidly discovered (less than 6 months) and required only a minimal amount of chemical synthesis. These studies indicate that the SAR by NMR method can be effectively applied to enzymes to yield potent lead inhibitors-an important part of the drug discovery process.
