Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPi) utilize zinc-binding groups (ZBGs) to chelate the catalytic Zn(II) ion resulting in enzyme inhibition. Adapting findings from the literature of Zn(II) ion sensors, we previously reported chelating sulfonamide inhibitors of MMP-2, some of which showed excellent selectivity over other gelatinases (MMP-9). Herein, we greatly expand our investigation of chelating sulfonamides as MMP inhibitors (MMPi) with the synthesis and screening of several new libraries ...[more]
