New N-arylsulfonyl-N-alkoxyaminoacetohydroxamic acids as selective inhibitors of gelatinase A (MMP-2)

New N-arylsulfonyl-substituted alkoxyaminoaceto hydroxamic acid derivatives of types 8 and 10 designed as oxa-analogues of known sulfonamide-based MMPi of types 2 and 7 were synthesized and tested for their inhibitory activities on some matrix metalloproteinases. The combination of a biphenylsulfonamide group with oxyamino oxygen in the pharmacophoric central skeleton of sulfonamide-based MMPi obtained in the new sulfonamides 10 seems to be able...
