  • Patent number: 5847148
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel thiadiazole derivatives represented by formula I: ##STR1## or pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof wherein the compounds of the present invention inhibit various enzymes from the matrix metalloproteinase family, predominantly stromelysins, and hence are useful for the treatment of matrix metallo endoproteinase diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, osteopenias such as osteoporosis, tumor metastasis (invasion and growth), periodontitis, gingivitis, corneal ulceration, dermal ulceration, gastric ulceration, and other diseases related to connective tissue degradation.
