This invention is directed generally to proteinase (also known as 'protease') inhibitors, and, more particularly, to piperidinyl- and piperazinyl-sulfonylmethyl hydroxamic acids that, inter alia, inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (also known as 'matrix metalloprotease' or &#x201c;MMP&#x201d;) activity and/or aggrecanase activity. Such hydroxamic acids generally correspond in structure to the following formula: (wherein A, A, Y, E, E, E, and Rare as defined in this specification), and further include salts of such compounds. This invention also is directed to compositions of such hydroxamic acids, intermediates for the syntheses of such hydroxamic acids, methods for making such hydroxamic acids, and methods for treating conditions (particularly pathological conditions) associated with MMP activity and/or aggrecanase activity.

Piperidinyl- and piperazinyl-sulfonylmethyl hydroxamic acids and their use as protease inhibitors

A sulfamato hydroxamic acid compound that inter alia inhibits matrix metalloprotease activity is disclosed as are a process for preparing the same, intermediate compounds useful in those syntheses, and a treatment process that comprises administering a contemplated sulfamato hydroxamic acid compound in a MMP enzyme-inhibiting effective amount to a host having a condition associated with pathological matrix metalloprotease activity.

Sulfamato hydroxamic acid metalloprotease inhibitor

This invention is directed to aromatic sulfone hydroxamic acids (including hydroxamates) and salts thereof that, inter alia, inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (also known as 'matrix metalloprotease' or 'MMP') activity and/or aggrecanase activity. This invention also is directed to a prevention or treatment method that comprises administering such a compound or salt in an MMP-inhibiting and/or aggrecanase-inhibiting effective amount to an animal, particularly a mammal having (or disposed to having) a pathological condition associated with MMP and/or aggrecanase activity.

Aromatic sulfone hydroxamic acids and their use as protease inhibitors

This invention is directed to aromatic sulfone hydroxamates (also known as &ldquo;aromatic sulfone hydroxamic acids&rdquo;) and salts thereof that, inter alia, inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (also known as &ldquo;matrix metalloprotease&rdquo; or &ldquo;MMP&rdquo;) activity and/or aggrecanase activity. This invention also is directed to a prevention or treatment method that comprises administering such a compound or salt in an MMP-inhibiting and/or aggrecanase-inhibiting effective amount to an animal, particularly a mammal having (or disposed to having) a pathological condition associated with MMP and/or aggrecanase activity.

Aromatic sulfone hydroxamates and their use as protease inhibitors

This invention is directed to aromatic sulfone hydroxamates (also known as aromatic sulfone hydroxamic acids) and salts thereof that, inter alia, tend to inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (also known as matrix metalloprotease or MMP) activity and/or aggrecanase activity. This invention also is directed to a treatment method that comprises administering such a compound or salt in an MMP-inhibiting and/or aggrecanase-inhibiting effective amount to an animal, particularly a mammal having (or disposed to having) a pathological condition associated with MMP activity and/or aggrecanase activity.

A sulfamato hydroxamic acid compound that, inter alia, inhibits matrix metalloprotease (mmp) activity is disclosed as are a process for preparing the same, intermediate compounds useful in those syntheses, and a treatment process that comprises administering a contemplated sulfamato hydroxamic acid compound in a MMP enzyme-inhibiting effective amount to a host having a condition associated with pathological matrix metalloprotease activity.
