title: Potent P1' biphenylmethyl substituted aggrecanase inhibitors.
abstract: A series of cis-1(S)2(R)-amino-2-indanol based compounds with a biphenylmethyl group at the P1' position was found to be potent aggrecanase inhibitors. Both compounds 2j and 2n possessed very high aggrecanase affinity (IC(50)=1.5nM), and showed excellent selectivity over MMP-1 and MMP-9, with moderate selectivity against MMP-2.
