Abstract: This invention relates to macrocyclic molecules which inhibit metalloproteinases, including aggrecanase, and the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). In particular, the compounds are inhibitors of metalloproteinases involved in tissue degradation and inhibitors of the release of tumor necrosis factor. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and to methods of using these compounds for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
