Patent number: 6890937Abstract: A treatment process is disclosed that comprises administering an effective amount of an aromatic sulfone hydroxamic acid that exhibits excellent inhibitory activity of one or more matrix metalloprotease (MMP) enzymes, such as MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-13, while exhibiting substantially less inhibition at least of MMP-1 to a host having a condition associated with pathological matrix metalloprotease activity. The administered enzyme inhibitor corresponds in structure to formula (I), below, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R1 and R2 are both hydrido or R1 and R2 together with the atoms to which they are bonded form a 5- to 8-membered ring containing one, two, or three heteroatoms in the ring that are oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen. R3 in formula (I) is an optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl radical.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2003Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Pharmacia CorporationInventors: Thomas E.

Patent number: 6838468Abstract: Compounds of general formula I[Chemical formula should be inserted here. Please see paper copy] R1 is selected from any one of phenyl, pyridinyl, pyrrolyl, thienyl, furanyl, imidazolyl, triazolyl, and pyridine N-oxide; where each R1 phenyl ring and R1 heteroaromatic ring may optionally and independently be further substituted by 1,2 or 3 substituents selected from straight and branched C1-C6 alkyl, NO2, CF3, C1-C6 alkoxy, chloro, fluoro, bromo, and iodo. The substitutions on the phenyl ring and on the heteroaromatic ring may take place in any position on said ring systems; are disclosed and claimed in the present application, as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the novel compounds and their use in therapy, in particular in the management of pain, anxiety and functional gastrointestinal disorders.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2002Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: AstraZeneca ABInventors: William Brown, Christopher Walpole, Zhongyong Wei
