title: A quantitative structure-activity relationship study of hydroxamate matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors derived from functionalized 4-aminoprolines.
abstract: A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on the inhibitions of some matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by functionalized 4-aminoproline based hydroxamates. Attempts have been made to correlate the inhibition potencies of these hydroxamates with Kier's first-order valence molecular connectivity index ((1)chi(v)) of substituents and electrotopological state (E-state) indices of some atoms. The correlations obtained for the inhibitions of all the enzymes studied, i.e. MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, and MMP-13, were not so uniform, but suggested that in almost all the cases the substituents at the amide nitrogen may be conducive to the activity, though the whole amide group may be sterically unfavourable. Similarly, in most of the cases, the substituens at the phenyl moiety have been found to be beneficial to the inhibition potency and in many cases an electronic role of SO(2) group of the sulfonylphenyl moiety has been indicated.
