Description: PHOSPHINIC ACID AMIDES AS MATRIX METALLOPROTEASE INHIBITORS TECHNICAL FIELD This invention is directed to compounds which are useful in treating diseases associated with metalloprotease activity, particularly zinc metalloprotease activity BACKGROUND Background A number of structurally related metalioproteases [MPs] effect the breakdown of structural protems. These metalioproteases often act on the intercellular matrix, and thus are involved in tissue breakdown and remodeling. Such protems are referred to as metalioproteases or MPs There are several different families of MPs, classified by sequence homology Several families of known MPs, as well as examples thereof, are disclosed in the art. These MPs include Matnx-Metallo Proteases [MMPs], zinc metalioproteases, many of the membrane bound metalioproteases, TNF converting enzymes, angiotensm-converting enzymes (ACEs), disintegnns, including ADAMs (See Wolfsberg et al, 131 J Cell Bio 275-78 October, 1995), and the enkephalinases Examples of MPs include human skin fibroblast coilagenase, human skin fibroblast gelatinase. human sputum coilagenase, aggrecanse and gelatinase, and human stromelysin Coilagenase, stromelysin, aggrecanase and related enzymes are thought to be important tn mediating the symptomatology of a number of diseases Potential therapeutic indications of MP inhibitors have been discussed in the literature See for example, U.S. Patent 5,506,242 (Ciba Geigy Corp ); U S Patent 5 403,952 (Merck & Co ), PCT published application WO 96/06074 (Bπtish Bio Tech Ltd); PCT Publication WO 96/00214 (Ciba Geigy), WO 95/35275 (British Bio Tech Ltd); WO 95/35276 (British Bio Tech Ltd); WO 95/33731 (Hoftman- LaRoche); WO 95/33709 (Hoffinan-LaRoche); WO 95/32944 (Bπtish Bio Tech Ltd); WO 95/26989 (Merck); WO 9529892 (DuPont Merck); WO 95/24921 (Inst.

Co. Ltd.); JP 7304770 (Kanebo Ltd.); and Bird et al J. Med Chem vol. 37, pp. 158-69 (1994). Examples of potential therapeutic uses of MP inhibitors include rheumatoid arthritis (Mullins, D. E., et al., Biochim. Biophvs. Acta. H983) 695: 1 17- 214); osteoarthritis (Henderson, B., et al., Drugs of the Future < 1990) 15:495-508); the metastasis of tumor cells (ibid, Broadhurst, M. J., et al., European Patent Application 276,436 (published 1987), Reich, R., et al., 48 Cancer Res. 3307-3312 (1988); and various ulcerations or ulcerative conditions of tissue. For example, ulcerative conditions can result in the cornea as the result of alkali bums or as a result of infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acanthamoeba, Herpes simplex and vaccinia viruses. Other examples of conditions characterized by undesired metalloprotease activity include periodontal disease, epidermolysis bullosa, fever, inflammation and scleritis (Cf. DeCicco et al, WO 95 29892 published November 9, 1995). In view of the involvement of such metalioproteases in a number of disease conditions, attempts have been made to prepare inhibitors to these enzymes. A number of such inhibitors are disclosed in the literature. Examples include U.S. Patent No. 5,183,900, issued February 2, 1993 to Galardy; U.S. Patent No. 4,996,358, issued February 26, 1991 to Handa, et al.; U.S. Patent No. 4,771,038, issued September 13, 1988 to Woianin, et al.; U.S. Patent Number 4,743,587, issued May 10, 1988 to Dickens, et al., European Patent Publication Number 575,844, published December 29, 1993 by Broadhurst, et al.; Intemational Patent Publication No. WO 93/09090, published May 13, 1993 by Isomura, et al.; World Patent Publication 92/17460, published October 15, 1992 by Markwell et al.; and European Patent Publication Number 498,665, published August 12, 1 92 by Beckett, et al. Though a variety of inhibitors have been prepared, there is a continuing need for potent matrix metalloprotease inhibitors useful in treating such diseases. It would be advantageous to inhibit these metalioproteases as a method of treating diseases related to unwanted metalloprotease activity. Though a variety of inhibitors have been prepared, there is a continuing need for potent metalloprotease inhibitors useful in treating such diseases.

No 4,743,587, which references the procedure of Cawston, et al., Anal Biochem (1979) 99:340-345, use of a synthetic substrate is described by Weingarten, H., et al., Biochem Biophv Res Comm (1984) 139: 1184- 1187.

The ability of candidate compounds to inhibit matrix metalloprotease activity can, of course, be tested in the assays described above. Isolated matrix metalloprotease enzymes can be used to confirm the inhibiting activity of the invention compounds, or crude extracts which contain the range of enzymes capable of tissue breakdown can be used. Compounds: Compounds of the invention are described in the Summary of the Invention Preferred compounds of Formula (I) include where in R | is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl-alkyl, heterocycle-alkyl, alkoxy-alkyl, arylalkoxy-alkyl, or alkylthioalkyl; R2 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl-alkyl, heterocycle-alkyl, alkoxy-alkyl, arylalkoxy-alkyl, or alkylthioalkyl; R3 is alkyl, cycioalkyl, carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, or aminoalkyl; and R4 is carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl; an optical isomer, diastereomer or enantiomer thereof, or a pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable salt, or biohydrolyzable alkoxyamide, ester acyloxyamide, or imide thereof Compound Preparation: The hydroxamic compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared using a variety of procedures. General schemes include the following. (Representative examples are described for making specific compounds hereinbelow); (A) (R 4 R j )POZ Z=halo, etc Y Is preferably NH 2 , halo X Is preferably alkoxy, hydroxy (D) HO-. _ The compounds of Formula (I) are easily prepared from compounds of formula (A) R2 amino acids, R2 2-halo esters and the like. For compound A, Y is preferably amino and is reacted with compound B when Y is halo or a suitable leaving group. For compound A, with Y as halo, the skilled artisan will immediately recognize that compound B has Y as amino. Where R j and R2 do not form a single chain, the R j moiety (B) is introduced using conventional methods. For example, where a 2-halo ester is used, an R j primary amino compound under basic conditions displaces the halide or if an amino acid is used it can be treated with an R ] carbonyl compound such as an aldehyde and then the oxy moiety can be reduced by conventional means to produce C. When the compounds of formula A can be derived from known amino acids, including the 20 commonly occurring < amino acids, their derivatives (e.g., sarcosine hydroxy proline 2-amino butyric acid, pipicolic acid and the like), or any such d amino acids. Many are know or commercially available, such as from Sigma (St. Louis, MO) or Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI). For those that are not easily available, R 2 amino acid variants can be made by any of several methods known in the art. Where it is more advantageous to make compounds of Formula I using a halo ester or halo acid, such halo esters and halo acids are known in the art, or made by well known methods (see for example March, Advanced Organic Chemistry. Wiley Interscience. The R3R4POZ compound is made using standard methodologies. For example, PCI3 may be aikylated and or arylated to form RPCI2 or R3RPCI then treated with a short chain alkanol to form R3R4POZ. Alternatively, where R3 and R j form a ring, the XC(0)CHR2NH2 compound can be reacted under standard condition to form XC(0)CHR2NA(R j R 3 )POCI which then closes to form. Preferably (R j R) is oxymethyene or oxyethylene Where R4 is heterocyclic, methods for making the phosphinyl or phosponyl derivatives thereof are known in the art Preferred heterocyclic R 4 radicals include 2 or 3 thienyl, 2 or 3 uryl, 2, 3, or 4 pyπdyl, pyrmidyl and the like The (R3R4) PO moiety (D) is introduced using standard phosphonamide chemistry such as treatment of the amine with a phosphoryl chlonde in an inert solvent and the like Typically the hydroxamic acid is elaborated in a final step by treatment with hydroxyl amine using known methodology These steps may be varied to increase yield of desired product The skilled artisan will also recognize the judicious choice of reactants, solvents, and temperatures is an important component in successful synthesis While the determmation of optimal conditions, etc is routme, it will be understood that to make a variety of compounds can be generated in a similar fashion, using the guidance of the scheme above The starting materials used in preparing the compounds of the invention are known, made by known methods, or are commercially available as a starting material It is recognized that the skilled artisan in the art of organic chemistry can readily carry out standard manipulations of organic compounds without further direction, that is, it is well within the scope and practice of the skilled artisan to carry out such manipulations These include, but are not limited to reduction of carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols oxidations, acylations, aromatic substitutions, both electrophilic and nucieophilic, ethenfications, esteπfication and soponification and the like Examples of these manipulations are discussed in standard texts such as March, Advanced Organic Chemistry (Wiley), Carey and Sundberg, Advanced Organic Chemistry (Vol 2) and Keeting, Heterocyclic Chemistry (all 17 volumes) The skilled artisan will readily appreciate that certain reactions are best carried out when other functionality is masked or protected in the molecule, thus avoiding any undesirable side reactions and/or increasing the yield of the reaction Often the skilled artisan utilizes protecting groups to accomplish such increased yields or to avoid the undesired reactions These reactions are found in the literature and are also well within the scope of the skilled artisan Examples of many of these manipulations can be found for example in T Greene, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis Of course, ammo acids used as starting materials with reactive side chains are preferably blocked to prevent undesired side reactions The compounds of the invention may have one or more chiral centers As a result, one may selectively prepare one optical isomer, including diastereomer and enantiomer, over another for example by chiral starting materials, catalysts or solvents, or may prepare both stereoisomers or both optical isomers, mcluding diastereomers and enantiomers at once (a racemic mixture) Since the compounds of the invention may exist as racemic mixtures, mixtures of optical isomers, including diastereomers and enantiomers, or stereoisomers may be separated using known methods, such as chiral salts, chiral chromatography and the like. In addition, it is recognized that one optical isomer, including diastereomer and enantiomer, or stereoisomer may have favorable properties over the other Thus when disclosmg and claimmg the invention, when one racemic mixture is disclosed, it is clearly contemplated that both optical isomers, mcluding diastereomers and enantiomers, or stereoisomers substantially free of the other are disclosed and claimed as well. Methods of use Metalioproteases (MPs) found in the body operate, in part, by breaking down the extracellular matrix, which comprises extracellular protems and glycoprotems These protems and glycoprotetns play an important role m maintaming the size, shape, structure and stability of tissue in the body Inhibitors of metalioproteases are useful in treating diseases caused, at least in part, by breakdown of such protems It is known that MPs are intimately involved tissue remodeling As a result of this activity they have been said to be active in many disorders mvolv g either the * breakdown of tissues; including degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis and the like; metastasis or mobility of tissues m the body. the remodeling of tissues, including fibrotic disease, scarring, benign hypeφlasia, and the like The compounds of the present invention treat disorders, diseases and or unwanted conditions which are characterized by unwanted or elevated activity by that class of proteases For example the compounds can be used to inhibit proteases which destroy structural protems (i.e. the protems that mamtain tissue stability and structure), interfere in inter/intracellular signaling, including those implicated in cytokine up-regulation, and/or cytokine processmg and or inflammation, tissue degradation and other maladies [Mohler KM. et al, Nature 370 (1994) 218-220, Geaπng AJH, et al, Nature 370 ( 1994) 555-557 McGeehan GM, et al, Nature 370 (1994) 558-561], and/or facilitate processes which are undesired in the subject being treated, for example, the processes of sperm maturation, egg fertilization and the like As used herein, a "MP related disorder" or "a MP related disease" is one that involves unwanted or elevated MP activity in the biological manifestation of the disease or disorder, in the biological cascade leading to the disorder, or as a symptom of the disorder This "involvement" of the MP includes, The unwanted or elevated MP activity as a "cause" of the disorder or biological manifestation. whether the activity was elevated genetically, by infection, by autoimmunity, trauma, biomechanicai causes, lifestyle [e.g. obesity] or by some other cause, The MP as part of the observable manifestation of the disease or disorder. That is, the disease or disorder is measurable in terms of the increased MP activity, or from a clinical standpoint, unwanted or elevated MP levels indicate the disease. MPs need not be the "hallmark" of the disease or disorder; The unwanted or elevated MP activity is part of the biochemical or cellular cascade that results or relates to the disease or disorder. In this respect, inhibition of the MP activity interrupts the cascade, and thus controls the disease. Advantageously, many MPs are not distributed evenly throughout the body. Thus the distribution of MPs expressed in various tissues are often specific to those tissues. For example, the distribution of metalioproteases implicated in the breakdown of tissues in the joints, is not the same as the distribution of metalioproteases found in other tissues. Thus, though not essential for activity or efficacy, certain disorders preferably are treated with compounds that act on specific MPs found in the affected tissues or regions of the body. For example, a compound which displays a higher degree of affinity and inhibition for a MP found in the joints (e.g. chondrocytes) would be preferred for treatment of disease found there than other compounds which are less specific. In addition, certain inhibitors are more bioavialable to certain tissues than others, and this judicious choice of inhibitor, with the selectivity described above provides for specific treatment of the disorder, disease or unwanted condition. For example, compounds of this invention vary in their ability to penetrate into the central nervous system. Thus compounds may be selected to produce effects mediated through MPs found specifically outside the central nervous system. Determination of the specificity of a MP inhibitor of a certain MP is within the skill of the artisan in that field. Appropriate assay conditions can be found in the literature Specifically assays are known for stromelysin and coilagenase. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,743.587 references the procedure of Cawston, et al., Anal Biochem (1979) 99:340-345. The use of a synthetic substrate in an assay is described by Weingarten, H., et al., Biochem Biophv Res Comm (1984) 139:1184-1 187. Any standard method for analyzing the breakdown of structural proteins by MPs can. of course, be used. The ability of compounds of the invention to inhibit metalloprotease activity can, of course, be tested in the assays found in the literature, or variations thereof. Isolated metalloprotease enzymes can be used to confirm the inhibiting activity of the invention compounds, or crude extracts which contain the range of enzymes capable of tissue breakdown can be used. As a result of the MP inhibitory effect of the compounds of the invention, the compounds of the invention are also useful in treating the following disorders by virtue of their metalloprotease activity. The compounds of this invention are also useful for the prophylactic or acute treatment. They are administered in any way the skilled artisan in the fields of medicine or pharmacology would desire. It is immediately apparent to the skilled artisan that preferred routes of administration will depend upon the disease state being treated, and the dosage form chosen. Preferred routes for systemic administration include administration perorally or parenterally. However, the skilled artisan will readily appreciate the advantage of administering the MP inhibitor directly to the affected area for many disorders For example, it may be advantageous to administer MP inhibitors directly to the area of the disease or condition as in area affected by surgical trauma (e g , angioplasty), area affected by scarπng or bu (e g , topical to the skin), Because the remodeling of bone involves MPs, the compounds of the invention are useful in preventing prosthesis loosening It is known in the art that over time prostheses loosen, become painful, and may result in further bone injury, thus demanding replacement The need for replacement of such prostheses mcludes those such as m, joint replacements (for example hip, knee and shoulder replacements), dental prosthesis, mcludmg dentures, bπdges and prosthesis secured to the maxilla and/or mandible MPs are also active in remodel g of the cardiovascular system (for example, in congestive heart failure) It has been suggested that one of the reasons angioplasty has a higher than expected long term failure rate (reclosure over time) is that MP activity is not desired or is elevated in response to what may be recognized by the body as "injury" to the basement membrane of the vessel Thus regulation of MP activity in indications such as dilated cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, plaque rupture, reperfusion injury, ischemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, angioplasty restenosis and aortic aneurysm may increase long term success of any other treatment, or may be a treatment in itself In skin care, MPs are implicated in the remodeling or "turnover" of skin As a result, the regulation of MPs improves treatment of skin conditions including but not limited to, wrinkle repair, regulation and prevention and repair of ultraviolet induced skin damage Such a treatment includes prophylactic treatment or treatment before the physiological manifestations are obvious For example, the MP may be applied as a pre-exposure treatment to prevent ultaviolet damage and/or during or after exposure to prevent or minimize post-exposure damage In addition, MPs are implicated in skin disorders and diseases related to abnormal tissues that result from abnormal turnover which includes metalloprotease activity, such as epidermolysis bullosa, psoriasis, scleroderma and atopic dermatitis The compounds of the invention are also useful for treating the consequences of "normal" injury to the skin mcludmg scarring or "contraction" of tissue, for example, following bums MP inhibition is also useful in surgical procedures involving the sk for prevention of scarring, and promotion of normal tissue growth mcludmg in such applications as limb reattachment and refractory surgery (whether by laser or incision) In addition, MPs are related to disorders involving irregular remodelmg of other tissues, such as bone, for example, in otosclerosis and or osteoporosis, or for specific organs, such as in liver cirrhosis and fibrotic lung disease Similarly in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, MPs may be involved in the irregular modeling of blood brain bamer and or mvelin sheaths of nervous tissue Thus regulating MP activity may be used as a strategy in treating, preventing and controlling such diseases MPs are also thought to be involved ui manv infections, mcluding cytomegalovirus, [CMV] retinitis, HIV, and the resulting syndrome, AIDS MPs may also be involved m extra vascularizalion where surrounding tissue needs to be broken down to allow new blood vessels such as in angiofibroma and hemangioma Since MPs break down the extracellular matrix, it is contemplated that inhibitors of these enzymes can be used as birth control agents, for example in preventmg ovulation, in preventing penetration of the sperm into and through the extracellular milieu of the ovum, implantation of the fertilized ovum and in preventmg sperm maturation In addition they are also contemplated to be useful in preventmg or stopping premature labor and delivery Since MPs are implicated in the inflammatory response, and in the processing of cytokines the compounds are also useful as anti-inflammatoπes, for use in disease where inflammation is prevalent mcludmg, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, pancreatitis, diverticuhtis, asthma or related lung disease, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and Reiter's Syndrome Where autoimmunity is the cause of the disorder, the immune response often triggers MP and cytokine activity Regulation of MPs m treating such autoimmune disorders is a useful treatment strategy Thus MP inhibitors can be used for treating disorders mcludmg, lupus erythmatosis, ankylos g spondyhtis, and autoimmune keratitis Sometimes the side effects of autoimmune therapy result in exacerbation of other conditions mediated by MPs, here MP inhibitor therapy is effective as well, for example, autoimmune-therapy-induced fibrosis In addition, other fibrotic diseases lend themselves to this type of therapy, including pulmonary disease, bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (especially the acute phase response) Where MPs are implicated in the undesired breakdown of tissue by exogenous agents, these can be treated with MP inhibitors For example, they are effective as rattle snake bite antidote, as anti- vessicants, in treating allergic inflammation, septicemia and shock In addition, they are useful as antiparasitics (e g , in malaπa) and antunfectives For example, they are thought to be useful in treating or preventmg viral infection, mcludmg infection which would result in heφes, "cold" (e g , rhinoviral infection), meningitis, hepatitis, HIV infection and AIDS MP inhibitors are also thought to be useful in treating Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), muscular dystrophy, complications resulting from or arising out of diabetes, especially those involving loss of tissue viability, coagulation, Graft vs Host disease, leukemia, cachexia, anorexia, proteinuπa, and perhaps regulation of hair growth For some diseases, conditions or disorders MP inhibition is contemplated to be a preferred method of treatment Such diseases, conditions or disorders include, arthritis (mclud g osteoarthπtis and rheumitoid arthπtis), cancer (especially the prevention or arrest of tumor growth and metastasis), ocular disorders (especially corneal ulceration, lack of corneal healing, macular degeneration, and pterygium) and gum disease (especially peπodontal disease, and gingivitis) Compounds preferred for, but not limited to, the treatment of arthritis (mcludmg osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) are those compounds that are selective for the matrix metalioproteases and the distntegrin metalioproteases Compounds preferred for, but not limited to, the treatment of cancer (especially the prevention or arrest of tumor growth and metastasis) are those compounds that preferentially inhibit gelatmases or type IV collagenases Compounds preferred for, but not limited to, the treatment of ocular disorders (especially corneal ulceration, lack of corneal healmg, macular degeneration, and pterygium) are those compounds that broadly inhibit metalioproteases. Preferably these compounds are administered topically, more preferably as a drop or gel Compounds preferred for, but not limited to, the treatment of gum disease (especially peπodontal disease, and gingivitis) are those compounds that preferentially inhibit collagenases Compositions The compositions of the invention compπse (a) a safe and effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), and (b) a pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable earner As discussed above, numerous diseases are known to be mediated by excess or undesired matrix- destroying metalloprotease activity These clude tumor metastasis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, skin inflammation, ulcerations, particularly of the cornea, reaction to infection, peπodontitis and the like Thus, the compounds of the invention are useful in therapy with regard to conditions involving this unwanted activity The mvention compounds can therefore be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for use m treatment or prophylaxis of these conditions Standard pharmaceutical formulation techniques are used, such as those disclosed m Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa , latest edition A "safe and effective amount" of a Formula (I) compound is an amount that is effective, to inhibit matrix metalioproteases at the sιte(s) of activity, in a human or lower animal subject, without undue adverse side effects (such as toxicity, irritation, or allergic response), commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio when used in the manner of this invention The specific "safe and effective amount" will, obviously, vary with such factors as the particular condition being treated, the physical condition of the patient, the duration of treatment, the nature of concurrent therapy (if any), the specific dosage form to be used, the carrier employed, the solubility of the Formula (I) compound therein, and the dosage regimen desired for the composition In addition to the subject compound, the compositions of the sub|ect mvention contain a pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier The term "pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier", as used herein, means one or more compatible solid or liquid filler diluents or encapsulatmg substances which are suitable for administration to a human or lower animal The term ' compatible", as used herein, means that the components of the composition are capable of bemg commmgled with the subject compound, and with each other, in a manner such that there is no interaction which would substantially reduce the pharmaceutical efficacy of the composition under ordinary use situations Pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable earners must, of course, be of sufficiently high purity and sufficiently low toxicity to render them suitable for administration to the human or lower animal bemg treated Some examples of substances which can serve as pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carriers or components thereof are sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose, starches, such as com starch and potato starch, cellulose and its deπvatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, and methyl cellulose, powdered tragacanth, malt, gelat , talc, solid lubricants, such as steaπc acid and magnesium stearate, calcium sulfate, vegetable oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, com oil and oil of theobroma, poiyols such as propylene glycol, glycerine, sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol, alginic acid, emulsifiers, such as the Tweens®, wetting agents, such sodium lauryl sulfate, coloring agents, flavoring agents, tableting agents, stabilizers, antioxidants, preservatives, pyrogen-free water, isotonic salme, and phosphate buffer solutions The choice of a pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier to be used in conjunction with the subject compound is basically determined by the way the compound is to be administered If the subject compound is to be jected, the preferred pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier is steπle, physiological salme, with blood-compatible suspending agent, the pH of which has been adjusted to about 7 4 In particular, pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carriers for systemic administration include sugars, starches, cellulose and its derivatives, malt, gelatin, talc calcium sulfate, vegetable oils synthetic oils, poiyols, alginic acid, phosphate buffer solutions, emulsifiers, isotonic salme, and pyrogen-free water Preferred carriers for parenteral administration include propylene glycol, ethyl oleate, pyrrolidone, ethanol, and sesame oil Preferably, the pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier, in compositions for parenteral administration, comprises at least about 90% by weight of the total composition The compositions of this invention are preferably provided in unit dosage form As used herein, a "unit dosage form" is a composition of this invention containing an amount of a Formula (I) compound that is suitable for administration to a human or lower animal subject, in a single dose according to good medical practice These compositions preferably contain from about 5 mg (milligrams) to about 1000 mg, more preferably from about 10 mg to about 500 mg, more preferably from about 10 mg to about 300 mg, of a Formula (I) compound The compositions of this invention may be in any of a variety of forms, suitable (for example) for oral, rectal, topical, nasal or parenteral administration Depending upon the particular route of administration desired, a variety of pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carriers well-known in the art may be used. These include solid or liquid fillers, diluents, hydrotropes, surface-active agents, and encapsulating substances. Optional pharmaceutically-active materials may be included, which do not substantially interfere with the inhibitory activity of the Formula (I) compound. The amount of carrier employed in conjunction with the Formula (I) compound is sufficient to provide a practical quantity of material for administration per unit dose of the Formula (I) compound. Techniques and compositions for making dosage forms useful in the methods of this invention are described in the following references, all incoφorated by reference herein: Modem Pharmaceutics. Chapters 9 and 10 (Banker St. Rhodes, editors, 1979); Lieberman et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets (1981); and Ansel, Introduction to Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms 2d Edition ( 1976). In addition to the subject compound, the compositions of the subject invention contain a pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier. The term "pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier", as used herein, means one or more compatible solid or liquid filler diluents or encapsulating substances which are suitable for administration to a human or lower animal. The term "compatible", as used herein, means that the components of the composition are capable of being commingled with the subject compound, and with each other, in a manner such that there is no interaction which would substantially reduce the phaπnaceutical efficacy of the composition under ordinary use situations. Pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carriers must, of course, be of sufficiently high purity and sufficiently low toxicity to render them suitable for administration to the human or lower animal being treated. Some examples of substances which can serve as pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carriers or components thereof are sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose: starches, such as com starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, and methyl cellulose; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; solid lubricants, such as stearic acid and magnesium stearate; calcium sulfate; vegetable oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, com oil and oil of theobroma; poiyols such as propylene glycol, glycerine, sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol; alginic acid; emulsifiers, such as the Tweens®; wetting agents, such sodium lauryl sulfate; coloring agents; flavoring agents; tabieting agents, stabilizers; antioxidants; preservatives; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; and phosphate buffer solutions. The choice of a pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier to be used in conjunction with the subject compound is basically determined by the way the compound is to be administered. If the subject compound is to be injected, the preferred pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier is sterile, physiological saline, with blood-compatible suspending agent, the pH of which has been adjusted to about 7.4. Various oral dosage forms can be used, including such solid forms as tablets, capsules, granules and bulk powders. These oral forms comprise a safe and effective amount, usually at least about 5%, and preferably from about 25% to about 50%, of the Formula (I) compound. Tablets can be compressed, tablet triturates, enteric-coated, sugar-coated, film-coated, or multiple-compressed, containing suitable binders, lubricants, diluents, disintegrating agents, coloring agents, flavoring agents, flow-mducmg agents, and melting agents Liquid oral dosage forms include aqueous solutions, emulsions, suspensions, solutions and/or suspensions reconstituted from non-effervescent granules, and effervescent preparations reconstituted from effervescent granules, containing suitable solvents, preservatives, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, diluents, sweeteners, melting agents, coloring agents and flavoring agents The pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carrier suitable for the preparation of unit dosage forms for peroral administration are well-known m the art Tablets typically compπse conventional pharmaceutical ly-compatible adjuvants as inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, mannitol, lactose and cellulose, binders such as starch, gelatin and sucrose, disintegrants such as starch, alginic acid and croscarmelose, lubricants such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid and talc Glidants such as silicon dioxide can be used to improve flow characteristics of the powder mixture Coloring agents, such as the FD&C dyes, can be added for appearance Sweeteners and flavormg agents, such as aspartame, saccharin, menthol, peppermint, and fruit flavors, are useful adjuvants for chewable tablets Capsules typically comprise one or more solid diluents disclosed above The selection of carrier components depends on secondary considerations like taste, cost, and shelf stability, which are not critical for the puφoses of the subject mvention, and can be readily made by a person skilled in the art Peroral compositions also include liquid solutions emulsions suspensions, and the like The pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable carriers suitable for preparation of such compositions are well known in the art Typical components of carriers for syrups, elixirs, emulsions and suspensions include ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, liquid sucrose sorbitol and water For a suspension, typical suspendmg agents mclude methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, Avicel® RC-591 , tragacanth and sodium algmate, typical wetting agents include lecithin and polysorbate 80, and typical preservatives mclude methyl paraben and sodium benzoate Peroral liquid compositions may also contain one or more components such as sweeteners, flavoring agents and colorants disclosed above Such compositions may also be coated by conventional methods, typically with pH or time- dependent coatings, such that the subject compound is released in the gastrointestinal tract in the vicinity of the desired topical application, or at various times to extend the desired action Such dosage forms typically include, but are not limited to, one or more of cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvtnylacetate phthalate, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate. ethyl cellulose, Eudragit coatings, waxes and shellac Compositions of the subject invention may optionally include other drug actives Other compositions useful for attaining systemic delivery of the subject compounds include sublingual, buccal and nasal dosage forms Such compositions typically comprise one or more of soluble filler substances such as sucrose, sorbitol and mannitol and binders such as acacia, microcrystalline cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose Glidants, lubricants sweeteners, colorants, antioxidants and flavormg agents disclosed above may also be included The compositions of this invention can also be administered topically to a subject, e.g., by the direct laying on or spreading of the composition on the epidermal or epithelial tissue of the subject, or transdermally via a "patch". Such compositions include, for example, lotions, creams, solutions, gels and solids. These topical compositions preferably comprise a safe and effective amount, usually at least about 0.1%, and preferably from about 1% to about 5%, of the Formula (I) compound. Suitable earners for topical administration preferably remain in place on the skin as a continuous film, and resist being removed by perspiration or immersion in water. Generally, the carrier is organic in nature and capable of having dispersed or dissolved therein the Formula (I) compound. The carrier may include pharmaceuticaliy-acceptable emolients, emulsifiers, thickening agents, solvents and the like. Methods of Administration: This invention also provides methods of treating or preventing disorders associated with excess or undesired matrix metalloprotease activity in a human or other animal subject, by administering a safe and effective amount of a Formula (I) compound to said subject. As used herein, a "disorder associated with excess or undesired matrix metalloprotease activity" is any disorder characterized by degradation of matrix proteins. The methods of the invention are useful in treating disorders such as (for example) osteoarthritis, periodontitis, comeal ulceration, tumor invasion, and rheumatoid arthritis. The Formula (I) compounds and compositions of this invention can be administered topically or systemically. Systemic application includes any method of introducing Formula (I) compound into the tissues of the body, e.g., intra-articular (especially in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis), intrathecal, epidural, intramuscular, transdermal, intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, sublingual, rectal, and oral administration. The Formula (I) compounds of the present invention are preferably administered orally. The specific dosage of inhibitor to be administered, as well as the duration of treatment, are mutually dependent. The dosage and treatment regimen will also depend upon such factors as the specific Formula (I) compound used, the treatment indication, the ability of the Formula (I) compound to reach minimum inhibitory concentrations at the site of the matrix metalloprotease to be inhibited, the personal attributes of the subject (such as weight), compliance with the treatment regimen, and the presence and severity of any side effects of the treatment. Typically, for a human adult (weighing approximately 70 kilograms), from about 5 mg to about 3000 mg, more preferably from about 5 mg to about 1000 mg, more preferably from about 10 mg to about 300 mg, of Formula (I) compound are administered per day. It is understood that these dosage ranges are by way of example only, and that daily administration can be adjusted depending on the factors listed above. A preferred method of administration for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is oral or parenterally via mtra-articular injection As is known and practiced in the art, all formulations for parenteral administration must be sterile For mammals, especially humans, (assuming an approximate body weight of 70 kilograms) individual doses of from about 10 mg to about 1000 mg are preferred A preferred method of systemic administration is oral Individual doses of from about 10 mg to about 1000 mg, preferably from about 10 mg to about 300 mg are preferred Topical administration can be used to deliver the Formula (I) compound systemically, or to treat a subject locally. The amounts of Formula (I) compound to be topically administered depends upon such factors as skin sensitivity, type and location of the tissue to be treated, the composition and carrier (if any) to be administered, the particular Formula (I) compound to be administered, as well as the particular disorder to be treated and the extent to which systemic (as distinguished from local) effects are desired The inhibitors of the invention can be targeted to specific locations where the matπx metalloprotease is accumulated by us g targeting ligands For example, to focus the inhibitors to matπx metalloprotease contained a tumor, the inhibitor is conjugated to an antibody or fragment thereof which is unmunoreactive with a tumor marker as is generally understood in the preparation of immunotox s general The targeting ligand can also be a ligand suitable for a receptor which is present on the tumor Any targeting ligand which specifically reacts with a marker for the intended target tissue can be used Methods for couplmg the mvention compound to the targeting ligand are well known and are similar to those described below for couplmg to carrier The conjugates are formulated and administered as described above For localized conditions, topical administration is preferred For example, to treat ulcerated comea, direct application to the affected eye may employ a formulation as eyedrops or aerosol For corneal treatment, the compounds of the mvention can also be formulated as gels or ointments, or can be incoφorated to collagen or a hydrophilic polymer shield The materials can also be inserted as a contact lens or reservoir or as a subconjunctival formulation For treatment of skin inflammation, the compound is applied locally and topically, a gel, paste, salve or ointment The mode of treatment thus reflects the nature of the condition and suitable formulations for any selected route are available in the art In all of the foregoing, of course, the compounds of the invention can be administered alone or as mixtures, and the compositions may further include additional drugs or excipients as appropriate for the indication Some of the compounds of the invention also inhibit bacterial metalioproteases although generally at a lower level than that exhibited with respect to mammalian metalioproteases Some bacterial metalioproteases seem to be less dependent on the stereochemistry of the inhibitor, whereas substantial differences are found between diastereomers in their ability to inactivate the mammalian proteases. Thus, this pattern of activity can be used to distinguish between the mammalian and bacterial enzymes. Preparation and Use of Antibodies: The invention compounds can also be utilized in immunization protocols to obtain antisera immunospecific for the invention compounds. As the invention compounds are relatively small, they are advantageously coupled to antigenically neutral carriers such as the conventionally used keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or serum albumin carriers. For those invention compounds having a carboxyl functionality, coupling to carrier can be done by methods generally known in the art. For example, the carboxyl residue can be reduced to an aldehyde and coupled to carrier through reaction with sidechain amino groups in protein-based carriers, optionally followed by reduction of imino linkage formed. The carboxyl residue can also be reacted with sidechain amino groups using condensing agents such as dicyclohexyl carbodiimide or other carbodiimide dehydrating agents. Linker compounds can also be used to effect the coupling; both homobifunctional and heterobifϊinctional linkers are available from Pierce Chemical Company, Rockford, 111. The resulting immunogenic complex can then be injected into suitable mammalian subjects such as mice, rabbits, and the like. Suitable protocols involve repeated injection of the immunogen in the presence of adjuvants according to a schedule which boosts production of antibodies in the serum. The titers of the immune serum can readily be measured using immunoassay procedures, now standard in the art, employing the invention compounds as antigens. The antisera obtained can be used directly or monoclonal antibodies may be obtained by harvesting the peripheral blood lymphocytes or the spleen of the immunized animal and immortalizing the antibody-producing cells, followed by identifying the suitable antibody producers using standard immunoassay techniques. The polyclonal or monoclonal preparations are then useful in monitoring therapy or prophylaxis regimens involving the compounds of the invention. Suitable samples such as those derived from blood, serum, urine, or saliva can be tested for the presence of the administered inhibitor at various times during the treatment protocol using standard immunoassay techniques which employ the antibody preparations of the invention. The invention compounds can also be coupled to labels such as scintigraphic labels, e.g., technetium 99 or 1-131 , using standard coupling methods. The labeled compounds are administered to subjects to determine the locations of excess amounts of one or more matrix metalioproteases in vivo. The ability of the inhibitors to selectively bind matrix metalloprotease is thus taken advantage of to map the distribution of these enzymes in situ. The techniques can also be employed in histological procedures and the labeled invention compounds can be used in competitive immunoassays. The following non-limiting examples illustrate the compounds, compositions, and uses of the present invention.
