Abstract
New gamma-lactam TACE inhibitors were designed from known MMP inhibitors. A homology model of TACE was built and examined to identify the S1' site as the key area for TACE selectivity over MMPs. Rational exploration of the P1'-S1' interactions resulted in the discovery of the 3,5-disubstituted benzyl ether as a TACE-selective P1' group. Further optimization led to the discovery of IK682 as a selective and orally bioavailable TACE inhibitor.Entities:
