Abstract: This invention provides, non-peptide inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (e.g. gelatinases, stromelysins and collagenases) and TNF-&agr; converting enzyme (TACE. tumor necrosis factor-&agr; converting enzyme) which arc useful for the treatment of diseases in which these enzymes are implicated.

Abstract: This invention provides, non-peptide inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (e.g. gelatinases, stroinelysins and collagenases) and TNF-&agr; converting enzyme (TACE, tumor necrosis factor-&agr;converting enzyme) which are useful for the treatment of diseases in which these enzymes are implicated.

Abstract: This invention provides low molecular weight, non-peptide inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases and TNF-&agr; converting enzyme (TACE, tumor necrosis factor-&agr; converting enzyme) of formula (B) as shown herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: Compounds having the formula: wherein R1-R5 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, alkenyl of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, alkynyl of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, perhaloalkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, heterocycloalkyl of 3 to 10 carbon members, aryl, heteroaryl, halogen, —CN, —NO2, —CO2R6, —COR6, —OR6, —SR6, —SOR6, —SO2R6, —CONR7R8, —NR6N(R7R8), —N(R7R8) or W-Y-(CH2)n-Z provided that at least one of R1-R5 is not hydrogen; or R1 and R2 or R3 and R4, taken together form a 3 to 7 membered heterocycloalkyl or 3 to 7 membered heteroaryl; R6 and R7 are independently hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, perhaloalkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or aryl; R8 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, perhaloalkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, heterocycloalkyl of 3 to 10 members, aryl or heteroaryl, or R7 and R8, taken together may form a 3 to 7 membered

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of enzymes that have been implicated in the pathological destruction of connective tissue and basement membranes. These zinc containing endopeptidases consist of several subsets of enzymes including collagenases, stromelysins and gelatinases. TNF converting enzyme (TACE), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, catalyzes the formation of TNF-&agr; from membrane bound TNF-&agr; precursor protein. It is expected that small molecule inhibitors of MMPs and TACE therefore have the potential for treating a variety of disease states.

These zinc containing endopeptidases consist of several subsets of enzymes including collagenases, stromelysins and gelatinases. TNF-&agr; converting enzyme (TACE), a pro-inflmatory cytokine, catalyzes the formation of TNF-&agr; from membrane bound TNF-&agr; precursor protein. It is expected that small molecule inhibitors of MMPs and TACE therefore have the potential for treating a variety of disease states.

Abstract: Compounds having the formula: wherein R1-R5, X and G are described herein and which are useful in the treatment of diseases associated with herpes viruses including human cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex viruses, Epstein-Barr virus, varicella-zoster virus, human herpesviruses-6 and -7, and Kaposi herpesvirus.
