The present invention relates to novel metalloproteinase inhibitors having an aryloxybenzenesulfonamide moiety and a carbamoylphosphonic acid moiety, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and to their uses in the prevention and/or treatment of disease or disorder associated with MMP.

Carbamoylphosphonates as inhibitors and uses thereof

The present invention relates to compositions useful for treating or controlling disease states or conditions associated with zinc containing proteinases, especially metalloproteinases. The active ingredient in these compositions is an alpha-oxo- or alpha-thioxophosphonate of formula (I). Out of the phosphonates of formula (I), some are known and others are new. The novel compounds constitute another aspect of the invention.

Compositions comprising oxophosphonate-based metalloproteinase inhibitors

The present invention provides a compound of the following formula I:R&#x2014;NH&#x2014;C(&#x2550;X)&#x2014;P(&#x2550;O)ORORincluding pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates and polymorphs of the compounds of formula I, as well as geometrical isomers and optically active forms of the compounds of formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates and polymorphs of said isomers and forms,wherein The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the above compounds and their use in medicine.

Carbamoyl-and thiocarbamoyl-phosphonates and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them

The present invention relates to compositions useful for treating or controlling disease states or conditions associated with zinc containing proteinases, especially metalloproteinases. The active ingredient in these compositions is an alpha-oxo- or alpha-thixophosphpnate of formula (I). Out of the phosphonates of formula (I), some are known and others are new. The novel compounds constitute another aspect of the invention.

The invention provides novel methods for treating disease based upon the medicinal use of lipids and phospholipids covalently bound to physiologically acceptable monomers or polymers. Phosphatidylethanolamine moieties conjugated to physiologically acceptable monomers and polymers (PE conjugates) manifest an unexpectedly wide range of pharmacological effects, including stabilizing cell membranes; limiting oxidative damage to cell and blood components; limiting cell proliferation, cell extravasation and (tumor) cell migratory behavior; suppressing immune responses; and attenuating physiological reactions to stress, as expressed in elevated chemokine levels. The surprisingly manifold pharmacological properties of the PL-conjugates allow for the invention, disclosed herein, of novel methods for the treatment of a diverse range of disease states, including obstructive respiratory disease, including asthma; colitis and Crohn's disease; central nervous system insult, including blood brain barrier compromise, ischemic stroke, and multiple sclerosis; contact dermatitis; psoriasis; cardiovascular disease, including ischemic conditions and prophylaxis for invasive vascular procedures; cellular proliferative disorders, including anti-tumor vasculogenesis, invasiveness, and metastases; anti-oxidant therapy; hemolytic syndromes; sepsis; acute respiratory distress syndrome; tissue transplant rejection syndromes; autoimmune disease; viral infection; and hypersensitivity conjunctivitis. The therapeutic methods of the invention include administration of phosphatidylethanolamine bound to carboxymethylcellulose, heparin, hyaluronic acid, polyethylene glycol, and hemaccel. Disclosed herein are also new compounds comprised of phospholipid moieties bound to low molecular weight monomers and dimers, including mono- and disaccharides, carboxylated disaccharides, mono- and dicarboxylic acids, salicylates, bile acids, and fatty acids.
