title: Design and synthesis of an orally active matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor.
abstract: A series of 4-(4-phenoxy)benzoylamino-4-methoxymethyloxymethyl butyric acid hydroxamates, which were derived from l-glutamic acid, were synthesized and evaluated as matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors. Most of the compounds listed in exhibited strong inhibitory activity against MMP-2 and MMP-9, as well as even stronger inhibitory activity against MMP-3, but showed relatively weak inhibition of MMP-1. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.
