Title: A selective matrix metalloprotease 12 inhibitor for potential treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): discovery of (S)-2-(8-(methoxycarbonylamino)dibenzo[b,d]furan-3-sulfonamido)-3-methylbutanoic acid (MMP408).

Abstract: Matrix metalloprotease 12 plays a significant role in airway inflammation and remodeling. Increased expression and production of MMP-12 have been found in the lung of human COPD patients. MMP408 (14), a potent and selective MMP-12 inhibitor, was derived from a potent matrix metalloprotease 2 and 13 inhibitor via lead optimization and has good physical properties and bioavailability. The compound blocks rhMMP-12-induced lung inflammation in a mouse model and was advanced for further development for the treatment of COPD.
