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-&agr; 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. The present invention provides low molecular weight, non-peptide inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and TNF-&agr; converting enzyme (TACE) for the treatment of arthritis, tumor metastasis, tissue ulceration, abnormal wound healing, periodontal disease, bone disease, diabetes (insulin resistance) and HIV infection.

Abstract: N-hetaryl imidazole derivatives of general Formula I ##STR1##are disclosed in whichHet represents an optionally substituted monocyclic or bicyclic heteroaromate,R.sup.3 represents hydrogen, a straight or branched C.sub.1-6 -alkyl group, or a C.sub.1-6 -alkoxy-alkyl group, andR.sup.4 represents --COOR.sup.5 --CONR.sup.6 R.sup.7 --CN, ##STR2##with R.sup.5 meaning hydrogen, a straight or branched C.sub.1-6 -alkyl group, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are the same of different and represent hydrogen or a straight, branched, or cyclic alkyl group with up to 7 carbon atoms or, together with the nitrogen atom, form a saturated five or six ring optionally containing another heteroatom and R.sup.8 means hydrogen or a straight, branched or cyclic alkyl group with up to 7 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A compound contains a ligand group and at least one group of the general formula --XR.sub.n where X is a linking group which contains at least one hetero-atom, R is a saturated hydrocarbyl group containing at least six carbon atoms or is an unsaturated hydrocarbyl group containing at least three carbon atoms. The ligand group can be a polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl, a triazole, an imidazole, an indazole, a thiazole, an oxazole, a carbamate, an xanthate or a phthalazine. The compounds can be used to improve bonding between a metal and a coating material in contact with the metal surface. The metal may be a tire cord and the coating material rubber or a rubber composition.
