RESUMEN
A novel series of sulfone N-formylhydroxylamines (retrohydroxamates) have been investigated as matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) inhibitors. The substitution of the ether linkage of ABT-770 (5) with a sulfone group 13a led to a substantial increase in activity against MMP-9 but was accompanied by a loss of selectivity for inhibition of MMP-2 and -9 over MMP-1 and diminished oral exposure. Replacement of the biphenyl P1' substituent with a phenoxyphenyl group provided compounds that are highly selective for inhibition of MMP-2 and -9 over MMP-1. Optimization of the substituent adjacent to the retrohydroxamate center in this series led to the clinical candidate ABT-518 (6), a highly potent, selective, orally bioavailable MMP inhibitor that has been shown to significantly inhibit tumor growth in animal cancer models.

A series of substituted isoindolinone ureas was prepared and evaluated for enzymatic and cellular inhibition of KDR kinase activity. Several of these analogs, such as 14c, are potent inhibitors of KDR both enzymatically (< 50 nM) and cellularly < or = 100 nM). A 3D KDR/CDK2/MAP kinase overlay model with several structurally related tyrosine kinase inhibitors was used to predict the binding interactions of the isoindolinone ureas with the KDR active site.
