Description

DERIVATIVES OF HYDROXAMIC ACID AS METALLOPROTEINASE INHIBITORS
The present invention relates to therapeutically active hydroxamic acid derivatives, to processes for their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and to the use of such compounds in medicine. In particular, the compounds are inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases.
Background to the Invention
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP's) are a family of zinc containing endopeptidases which are capable of cleaving large biomolecules such as the collagens, proteoglycans and gelatins. Imbalance between active MMPs and endogenous inhibitors, leads to excessive tissue disruption. The three main groups of MMPs are the collagenases, the gelatinases, and the stromelysins.
Collagenases include fibroblast collagenase (MMP-1), neutrophil collagenase (MMP-8), and collagenase 3 (MMP-13). Gelatinases include 72 kDa gelatinase (gelatinase A; MMP-2) and 92 kDa gelatinase (gelatinase B; MMP- 9). Stromelysins include stromelysin 1 (MMP-3), stromelysin 2 (MMP-10) and matrilysin (MMP-7). However there are MMPs which do not fit neatly into the above groups, for example metalloelastase (MMP-12), membrane-type MMP (MT-MMP or MMP-14) and stromelysin 3 (MMP-11).
Over-expression and activation of MMPs have been linked with a wide range of diseases such as cancer; rheumatoid arthritis; osteoarthritis; chronic inflammatory disorders, such as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema; cardiovascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis; comeal uiceration; dental diseases such as gingivitis and periodontal disease; neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and restenosis. For example, MMP-12 is required for the development of cigarette smoke-induced emphysema in mice,
Science, 277, 2002 (1997). Inhibition of MMPs is therefore a strategy for treatment of such disease states. However, there is evidence that non- selective inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase activity may affect normal physiological process leading to dose limiting side effects. Selective inhibition of MMP-12 and/or MMP-9 is thought to be a particularly relevant strategy for intervention in inflammatory conditions.
Some MMPs can hydrolyse the membrane-bound precursor of the pro- inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor a (TNF-a). This cleavage yields mature soluble TNF-a. and some inhibitors of MMPs can block production of
TNF-a both in vitro and in vivo. This pharmacological action is a probable contributor to the anti-inflammatory action of this class of compounds.
For a recent review of MMP inhibition as reflected in the patent literature, see
Doherty et. al. Therapeutic Developments in Matrix Metalloproteinase
Inhibition; Expert Opinions on Therapeutic Patents, 2002, 12, 665-707.
Very many of the MMP inhibitors of the prior art have a hydroxamic acid metal binding group (-CONHOH).
Brief Description of the invention
The present invention provides a class of compounds which in general are selective inhibitors of MMP-12 relative to the collagenases and stromelysins.
In addition, compounds of the invention can exhibit selective activity towards
MMP-9. Compounds of the invention are therefore indicated for treatment of diseases primarily mediated by MMP-12 and/or MMP-9, especially inflammatory conditions such as multiple sclerosis and fibrosis.

The group -NR1R2 may be unsubstituted or substituted by at least one group (mn: —HAK),-X-AKTZ ()
It will be noted that since an optional substituent in either Alk' or Alk® may be oxo, a carbonyl group may be located adjacent the X element, forming for example combinations such as amide, reverse amide and carboxy linkages.
In one embodiment of the invention, R; and R; taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a morpholyl group, optionally substituted by at least one group of formula (li).
In another embodiment of the invention, Ry and R; taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a thiomorpholyl group, optionally substituted by at least one group of formula (Il).

In one particular embodiment of the invention, group (ll) is such thatp is 0, Z is hydrogen and at least one of n and m is 1. In this subclass the group (Il) is optionally substituted C,-Cs alkyl, which may be linked to a ring carbon or to a ring nitrogen of the -NR;R. group. For example when -NR;R; is piperidinyl or piperazinyl, the 4-C (in the former) and the 4-N (in the latter) may be substituted by methyl, ethyl, or n- or iso-propyl.
In a second particular embodiment of the invention, group (ll) is such that m, n and p are all 0 and Z is a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring directly linked to a ring carbon or ring nitrogen of the -NR1R2 group. Examples of such directly linked rings Z include cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl, and (preferably) aryl or heteroaryl! rings such as phenyl, pyridyl, thienyl, furanyl, and pyrimidinyl.
These directly linked rings may themselves be substituted by optional substituents, for example methoxy, ethoxy, n- or iso-propoxy, trifluoromethoxy, methylenedioxy, ethylenedioxy, methyl, ethyl, n- or isopropyi, trifluoromethyl, fluoro, chloro, bromo, methylsutfonyl, phenylsulfonyl, or mono- or di-(C4-Cs)alkylamino.

In a fourth particular embodiment of the invention, group (il) is such that p is 1, so that the group (ll) contains the X heteroatom. Clearly when mis 0, X is directly linked to the -NR:R. ring; when m and n are both 1 X interrupts a Cs-
Ce alkylene linker between Z and the -NR:Rz ring; and when one of m and n is 1 and the other 0, the group (ll) represents a variety of O, S- or N containing substituents either directly linked to the -NR;R: ring, or linked via a C,-
