Abstract: A series of pipecolic hydroxamate inhibitors of MMP-13 and aggrecanase was discovered based on screening known inhibitors of TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE). Potency versus aggrecanase was optimized by modification of the benzyloxyarylsulfonamide group. Incorporation of geminal alkyl substitution at the 3-position of the piperidine ring improved metabolic stability, presumably by increasing steric hindrance around the metabolically labile hydroxamic acid. This modification also resulted in dramatic improvement of aggrecanase activity with a slight reduction in selectivity versus MMP-1. Synthesis, structure activity relationships, and strategies to reduce metabolic clearance are described.
