Hydroxamic acids are outstanding zinc chelating groups that can be used to design potent and selective metalloenzyme inhibitors in various therapeutic areas. Some hydroxamic acids display a high plasma clearance resulting in poor in vivo activity, though they may be very potent compounds in vitro. We designed a 57-member library of hydroxamic acids to explore the structure-plasma stability relationships in these series and to identify which enzyme(s) and which pharmacophores are critical for plasma stability. Arylesterases and carboxylesterases were identified as the main metabolic enzymes for hydroxamic acids. Finally, we suggest structural features to be introduced or removed to improve stability. This work thus provides the first medicinal chemistry toolbox (experimental procedures and structural guidance) to assess and control the plasma stability of hydroxamic acids and realize their full potential as in vivo pharmacological probes and therapeutic agents. This study is particularly relevant to preclinical development as it allows obtaining compounds equally stable in human and rodent models.

A series of substituted aryl malonamates have been prepared. These compounds are analogues of aryl phenaceturates where the amido side chain has been replaced by a retro-amide. Like the phenaceturates, these compounds are substrates of typical class A and class C β-lactamases, particularly of the latter, and of soluble DD-peptidases. The effect of substituents α to the ester carbonyl group on turnover by these enzymes is similar to that in the phenaceturates. On the other hand, N-alkylation of the side chain amide of malonamates, but not of phenaceturates, retains the susceptibility of the compounds to hydrolysis by β-lactamases. This reactivity is not enhanced, however, by bridging the amide nitrogen and Cα atoms. A phosphonate analogue of the malonamates was found to be an irreversible inhibitor of the β-lactamases. These results, therefore, provide further evidence for the covalent access of compounds bearing retro-amide side chains to the active sites of β-lactam-recognizing enzymes.
