Enantiopure functionalized tetrahydrofurans were synthesized as prototypical conformationally constrained analogs of acyclic succinic acid-based inhibitors of metalloproteinases. While preliminary docking study showed good congruence with a potent inhibitor, the biological results were disappointing. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed the weakness of the H-bond interactions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
