Page column 27, (2010/02/07)
Compounds which are 3-arylsulfonyl-2-methyl propanoic acid derivatives of formula (I): wherein X is HO—NH— or HO—, R1 is selected from phenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, 4-florophenyl, 4-cyanophenyl, benzamido (i.e., —NH—CO-Ph) and benzamido substituted on the terminal phenyl ring by C1-C4alkyl, fluoro, chloro, cyano or C1-4alkoxy; R2is selected from (a) —S—Ar or —S—CH2—Ar wherein Ar is an aromatic moiety; (b) —O—Ar wherein Ar is as defined above; (c) —S-Het or —S—CH2-Het wherein Het is a heterocyclic ring; and (d) 2,5-dioxo-1-imidazolidinyl or 2,4-dioxo-1-imidazolinyl; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; have potent and selective inhibitory activity against matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and can thus be used in the treatment and prevention of diseases mediated by MMPs.
