Description: SP1ROCYCLIC ETALLOPROTEASE INHIBITORS TECHNICAL FIELD This invention is directed to compounds which are useful in treating diseases, disorders and conditions associated with unwanted metalloprotease activity. BACKGROUND A number of structurally related metalloproteases [MPs] effect the breakdown of structural proteins. These metalloproteases often act on the intercellular matrix, and thus are involved in tissue breakdown and remodeling. Such proteins are referred to as metalloproteases 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 Matrix-Metallo Proteases [MMPs], zinc metalloproteases, many of the membrane bound metalloproteases, TNF converting enzymes, angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACEs), disintegrins, including ADAMs (See olfsberg et al, 131 J. Cell Bio. 275-78 October, 1995), and the enkephalinases. Examples of MPs include human skin fibroblast collagenase, human skin fibroblast gelatinase, human sputum collagenase, aggrecanse and gelatinase, and human stromelysin. Collagenase, stromelysin, aggrecanase and related enzymes are thought to be important in mediating the symptomatology of a number of diseases. Potential therapeutic indications of MP inhibitors have been discussed in the literature.

The metalloprotease enzymes referred to herein are all zinc-containing proteases which are similar in structure to, for example, human stromelysin or skin fibroblast collagenase. The ability of candidate compounds to inhibit metalloprotease activity can, of course, be tested in the assays described above. 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. Compounds: Compounds of the invention are described in the Summary of the Invention. Preferred compounds of the invention are those in which Z is heterospiroalkylene, preferably having heteroatoms adjacent to the parent rmg structure, more preferably such spiroheteroalkylenes have 4 to 5 members Preferred heteroatoms are divalent The invention provides compounds which are useftil as inhibitors of metalloproteases, preferably a matrix metalloproteases, and which are effective in treatmg conditions charactenzed by excess activity of these enzymes In particular, the present invention relates to a compound havuig a structure according to Formula (I) (I) wherein Ar is alkyl, heteroalkyl, aryl or heteroaryl, substituted or unsubstituted , Rl is H, R 2 is hydrogen, alkyl or acyl, W is nil or one or more lower alkyl moieties, or is an alkylene, arylene or heteroarylene bridge between two adjacent or nonadjacent carbons (thus forming a fused rmg), Y is independently one or more of hydrogen, hydroxy, SR3, SOR4, SO2R5, alkoxy, amino, wherein ammo is of formula NR^,R 7 , wherein R 0 and R7 are independently chosen from hydrogen, alkyl, heteroalkyl, heteroaryl, aryl, OR3, S0 2 Rg, COR 9 , CSRJ , PO(R ] ] ) 2 , and R3 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, R4 is alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, Rg is alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heteroalkyl, ammo, alkylamino, dialkylamino, arylamino, diarylamino and alkylarylamino, R9 is hydrogen, alkoxy, aryloxy, heteroaryloxy, alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heteroalkyl, ammo, alkylamino, dialkylamino, arylamino and alkylarylamino, R j O is alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heteroalkyl, ammo, alkylamino, dialkylamino, arylamino, diarylamino and alkylarylamino, R ] 1 is alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heteroalkyl, Z is a spiro moiety, n is 1-3 This structure also includes an optical isomer, diastereomer or enantiomer for Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, or biohydrolyzable ester, amide, or i ide thereof Compound Preparation The hydroxamic compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared using a variety of procedures General schemes include the following PREPARATION OF THE Y MOIETY For the manipulation of Y it is understood that the skilled artisan may choose to prepare Y before, after or concurrent with the preparation of Z, the spiro moiety For clarity, the W and Z moiety are not shown below. More than one Y and Z may be present in the compounds of formula (I). For compounds where Y is not adjacent to the πng nitrogen, a preferred method of makmg the compounds is; (A) (B) (C) SCHEME 1 Where R is a deπvatizable group or can be manipulated or substituted, such compounds are known or are prepared by known methods For example, when R is OH, and n is 1 , a commercially available hydroxyproline (A) is converted to its analogous sultamester and the hydroxyl is then manipulated to give (B) during this or a subsequent step Y and Z can be added or altered, followed by treatment with hydroxylamine under basic conditions to give (C) Where Y is adjacent to the ring nitrogen, a preferred method of preparing compounds of formula I follows. For clarity, the W and Z moieties are not shown, (D) <E) (F) SCHEME II Of course, this route is also a preferred for preparing compounds with Z as heteroalkylene with Z adjacent to the ring nitrogen. The transformations to make the spiro moiety, Z, are known in the art. Of course, for this scheme and others, the skilled artisan will appreciate that the order of the steps may be altered. Where amide D is known or commercially available, or made by known methods from known materials, and is converted to the corresponding sultamester E using known techniques, much as described in scheme I above, with appropraite manipulation to prepare Y, then elaborating the R j d, a compound of formula I, shown in F Of course, the steps may be reordered or altered to provide acceptable yield and desired products PREPARATION OF THE Z MOIETY Of course the skilled artisan will recognize that schemes applicable to the preparation of Y may be useful in the praparation of Z as noted above Other preferred methods are provided for the reader Where Z is a ketal or thioketal the compounds of the mvention may be prepared by the following method Again W and Y are not shown for clarity; Where R is hydroxy, ammo, lmino, alkoxy, oxo or any other group that may be manipulated into a carbonyl compound and R" is hydrogen or any other group that can be displaces in forming the sultamester The order of elaborating the ketal, R | or the sultamester may be changed A preferred method for making compounds of the invention with Z as a carbocycle or a heterocycle which is not prepared by ketal formation is shown below The spiro moiety, Z, shown below is depicted as a carbocycle, but heteroatoms may occur interspersed anywhere in the spirocycle In the scheme below Z is depicted as a carbocyclic spirocycle, but one or more heterotoms may be mterspersed in the backbone of the spirocyclic ring The omission of heteroatoms is meant to aid the reader It is not meant to limit the claims Again W and Y are not shown for clarity Base Reduction R is any group that may give rise to W or Y B is a group that can be manipulated into R j (or in the case of alkoxy is R | ). Of course elaborating R j , the sultamester, and the other groups proceeds as previously illustrated In any of these methods W may be present in the starting material or a known starting material may have one or more W moieties added using known methodologies It is recognized that it is preferable to use a protecting group for any reactive functionality such as a carboxyl, hydroxyl and the like, duπng the formation of the sulfamester This is standard practice, well within the normal practice of the skilled artisan A preferred method of makmg the spiro compounds of the invention is via a carbonyl compound, using "protecting group" technology known in the art, such as a thioketol or ketal, and the like Ketals, acetals and the like are prepared from carbonyl compounds by methods known in the art. Such carbonyl compounds can be made of cyclic hydroxy alkylene amines via oxidation to a ketone, or of lactams, which provide for 2-amino spiro functionality. A variety of compounds can be generated in a similar fashion, using the guidance of the scheme above. In the above schemes, where R' is alkoxy or alkylthio, the corresponding hydroxy or thiol compounds are derived from the final compounds by using a standard dealkylating procedure (Bhatt, et al., "Cleavage of Ethers", Synthesis, 1983, pp. 249-281). 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 determination of optimal conditions, etc. is routine, 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 die skilled artisan to carry out such manipulations. These include, but are not limited to, reduction of carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols, oxidations of hydroxy Is and the like, acylations, aromatic substitutions, both electrophilic and nucleophilic, etherifications, esterification and saponiflcation 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 die 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, amino acids used as starting materials with reactive side chains are preferably blocked to prevent undesired side reactions. The compounds of die 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, including 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 disclosing and claiming the invention, when one racemic mixture is disclosed, it is clearly contemplated that both optical isomers, including diastereomers and enantiomers, or stereoisomers substantially free of the other are disclosed and claimed as well. Methods of use Metalloproteases (MPs) found in the body operate, in part, by breaking down the extracellular matrix, which comprises extracellular proteins and glycoproteins. These proteins and glycoproteins play an important role in maintaining the size, shape, structure and stability of tissue in the body. Inhibitors of metalloproteases are useful in treating diseases caused, at least in part, by breakdown of such proteins. It is known that MPs are intimately involved in tissue remodeling. As a result of this activity they have been said to be active in many disorders involving either the: • breakdown of tissues; including degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis and the like; metastasis or mobility of tissues in the body: the remodeling of tissues, including fibrotic disease, scarring, benign hyperplasia, 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 proteins (i.e. the proteins that maintain tissue stability and structure); interfere in inter/intraceliular signaling, including those implicated in cytokine up-regulation, and or cytokine processing and/or inflammation, tissue degradation and other maladies [Mohler KM, et al, Nature 370 (1994) 218-220, Gearing AJH, et al.

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, biomechanical 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 metalloproteases implicated in the breakdown of tissues in the joints, is not the same as the distπbution of metalloproteases 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 bioavailable 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 mvention 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 mhibitor of a certain MP is within the skill of the artisan in that field Appropπate assay conditions can be found in the literature Specifically assays are known for stromelysin and collagenase 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 Biophy Res Comm (1984) 139 1 184-1 187 Any standard mediod 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 mvention, the compounds of the mvention are also useful in treatmg 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 clude 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 scarring or burn (e g , topical to the skin), Because the remodeling of bone involves MPs, the compounds of the mvention are useful in preventmg prosthesis loosenmg It is known in the art that over time prostheses loosen, become pamful, and may result in further bone injury, thus demandmg replacement The need for replacement of such prostheses includes those such as in, joint replacements (for example hip, knee and shoulder replacements), dental prosthesis, including dentures, bπdges and prosthesis secured to the maxilla and or mandible MPs are also active in remodeling 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 tune) 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 m 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 ultraviolet 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 buliosa, psoriasis, scleroderma and atopic dermatitis The compounds of the mvention are also useful for treating the consequences of "normal" injury to the skin including scarnng or "contraction" of tissue, for example, following burns MP inhibition is also useful in surgical procedures involving the skin for prevention of scarnng, and promotion of normal tissue growth including in such applications as limb reattachment and refractory surgery (whether by laser or incision) In addition, MPs are related to disorders involving irregular remodeling 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 barrier and or tnyelin sheaths of nervous tissue Thus regulating MP activity may be used as a strategy in treating, preventmg, and controlling such diseases MPs are also thought to be involved in many infections, including cytomegalovirus, [CMV] retinitis, HIV, and the resulting syndrome, AIDS MPs may also be involved in extra vascularization 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 preventing ovulation, in preventing penetration of the sperm into and through the extracellular milieu of the ovum, implantation of the fertilized ovum and in preventing sperm maturation. In addition they are also contemplated to be useful in preventing or stopping premature labor and delivery. Since MPs are implicated in die inflammatory response, and in the processing of cytokines the compounds are also useful as anti-inflammatories, for use in disease where inflammation is prevalent including, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, pancreatitis, diverticulitis, 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 in treating such autoimmune disorders is a useful treatment strategy. Thus MP inhibitors can be used for treating disorders including, lupus erythmatosis, ankylosing spondylitis, 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, in 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 malaria) and antiinfectives. For example, they are thought to be useful in treating or preventing viral infection, including infection which would result in herpes, "cold" (e.g., rhinoviral infection), meningitis, hepatitis, HIV infection and AIDS. MP inhibitors are also thought to be useful in treating Alzheimer's disease, amyo trophic 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, proteinuria, 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 (including osteoarthritis and rheumitoid arthritis), 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 periodontal disease, and gingivitis) Compounds preferred for, but not limited to, the treatment of arthritis (including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) are those compounds that are selective for the metalloproteases and the disintegnn metalloproteases. 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 geiatinases or type IV collagenases. Compounds preferred for, but not limited to, die treatment of ocular disorders (especially corneal ulceration, lack of corneal healing, macular degeneration, and pterygium) are those compounds that broadly inhibit metalloproteases. 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 periodontal disease, and gingivitis) are those compounds mat preferentially inhibit collagenases. Compositions: The compositions of the invention comprise: (a) a safe and effective amount of a compound of Formula (1); and (b) a pharmaceutical ly-acceptable earner. As discussed above, numerous diseases are known to be mediated by excess or undesired metalloprotease activity. These include tumor metastasis, osteoarthπtis, rheumatoid arthritis, skin inflammation, ulcerations, particularly of the cornea, reaction to infection, penodontitis 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 in treatment or prophylaxis of these conditions Standard pharmaceutical formulation techniques are used, such as those disclosed in 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 metalloproteases at the site(s) of activity, in a mammai 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 earner 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 subject invention contain a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier. The term "pharmaceutically-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 mammal. 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 pharmaceutical efficacy of the composition under ordinary use situations Pharmaceutically- acceptable carriers must, of course, be of sufficiently high purity and sufficiently low toxicity to render them suitable for administration to the aminal, preferably mammal being treated Some examples of substances which can serve as pharmaceutically-acceptable earners or components thereof are sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose, starches, such as corn 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 steanc acid and magnesium stearate, calcium sulfate, vegetable oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and oil of theobroma; polyols 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 saline, and phosphate buffer solutions The choice of a pharmaceutically-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 pharmaceutically-acceptable earner is sterile, physiological saline, with blood-compatible suspending agent, the pH of which has been adjusted to about 7 4 In particular, pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers for systemic administration include sugars, starches, cellulose and its derivatives, malt, gelatin talc calcium sulfate, vegetable oils, synthetic oils, polyols, alginic acid, phosphate buffer solutions emulsifiers, isotonic saline, and pyrogen-free water Preferred carriers for parenteral administration include propylene glycol, ethyl oleate, pyrrolidone, ethanol, and sesame oil Preferably , the pharmaceutically-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 aminal, preferably mammal 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, ocular or parenteral administration Depending upon the particular route of administration desired, a variety of pharmaceutically-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 phaπnaceutically-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 incorporated by reference herein: Modern Pharmaceutics, Chapters 9 and 10 (Banker & 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, die compositions of the subject invention contain a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier. The term "pharmaceutically-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 aminal, preferably mammal. 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 odier, in a manner such that there is no interaction which would substantially reduce the pharmaceutical efficacy of the composition under ordinary use situations. Pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers must, of course, be of sufficiently high purity and sufficiently low toxicity to render them suitable for administration to the aminal, preferably mammal being treated. Some examples of substances which can serve as pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers or components thereof are sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches, such as corn 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; polyols 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 saline; and phosphate buffer solutions. The choice of a pharmaceutically-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 pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier is sterile, physiological saline, with blood-compatible suspending agent, die 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-inducing 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 pharmaceutically-acceptable earner suitable for the preparation of unit dosage forms for peroral admmistration are well-known in the art Tablets typically comprise conventional pharmaceutically-compatible adjuvants as men diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, mannitol, lactose and cellulose, bmders such as starch, gelatm and sucrose, dismtegrants such as starch, alginic acid and croscarmelose, lubricants such as magnesium stearate, steanc acid and talc Glidants such as silicon dioxide can be used to improve flow characteristics of the powder mixture Coloπng agents, such as the FD&C dyes, can be added for appearance Sweeteners and flavoring agents, such as aspartame, saccharin, menthol, peppermint, and fruit flavors, are useful adjuvants for chewabie tablets Capsules typically comprise one or more solid diluents disclosed above The selection of earner components depends on secondary considerations like taste, cost, and shelf stability, which are not critical for the purposes 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 pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers suitable for preparation of such compositions are well known in the art Typical components of earners for syrups, elixirs, emulsions and suspensions include ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol polyethylene glycol liquid sucrose, sorbitol and water For a suspension, typical suspending agents include methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, AVICEL RC-591, tragacanth and sodium algmate, typical wetting agents include lecithin and polysorbate 80, and typical preservatives include 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 mciude, but are not limited to one or more of cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinylacetate 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 sublmgual, 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 flavoring 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 carriers 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 pharmaceutically- 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 metalloprotease activity in an animal, preferably mammal 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 metalloprotease activity" is any disorder characterized by degradation of proteins The methods of the invention are useful in treating disorders such as (for example) osteoarthritis, peπodontitis, corneal 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, sub ngual, 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, and whether the treatment is topical or systemic are interdependent 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 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 100 mg, of Formula (I) compound are administered per day for systemic administration. 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 intra-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 metalloprotease is accumulated by using targeting ligands. For example, to focus the inhibitors to metalloprotease contained in a tumor, the inhibitor is conjugated to an antibody or fragment thereof which is immunoreactive with a tumor marker as is generally understood in the preparation of immunotoxins in 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 coupling the invention compound to the targeting ligand are well known and are similar to those described below for coupling to carrier. The conjugates are formulated and administered as described above. For localized conditions, topical administration is preferred For example, to treat ulcerated cornea, direct application to the affected eye may employ a formulation as eyedrops or aerosol For corneal treatment, the compounds of the invention can also be formulated as gels, drops or ointments, or can be incorporated into 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, in 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 metalloproteases although generally at a lower level than that exhibited with respect to mammalian metalloproteases. Some bactenal metalloproteases seem to be less dependent on the stereochemistry of the mhibitor, 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 immunization protocols to obtain antisera lmmunospecific for the mvention compounds As the mvention compounds are relatively small, they are advantageously coupled to antigenically neutral carriers such as the conventionally used keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or serum albumin earners For those mvention compounds having a carboxyl functionality, couplmg 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 ammo groups in protem-based carriers, optionally followed by reduction of l ino linkage formed The carboxyl residue can also be reacted with sidecham amino groups using condensing agents such as dicyciohexyl carbodumide or other carbodnmide dehydrating agents Linker compounds can also be used to effect the couplmg, both homobifunctional and heterobifunctional linkers are available from Pierce Chemical Company, Rockford, 111 The resulting lmmunogenic complex can then be mjected into suitable mammalian subjects such as mice, rabbits, and the like Suitable protocols involve repeated mjection of the unmunogen in the presence of adjuvants accordmg 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 mvention compounds as antigens The antisera obtained can be used directly or monoclonal antibodies may be obtained by harvesting the penpheral 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 denved from blood, serum, urine, or saliva can be tested for the presence of the administered mhibitor at vaπous tunes during the treatment protocol using standard immunoassay techniques which employ the antibody preparations of the invention The mvention compounds can also be coupled to labels such as scintigraphic labels, e g , technetium 99 or 1-131, using standard couplmg methods The labeled compounds are administered to subjects to determine the locations of excess amounts of one or more metalloproteases in vivo The ability of the inhibitors to selectively bind 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 mvention compounds can be used in competitive immunoassays The following non-limiting examples illustrate the compounds, compositions, and uses of the present invention Examples Compounds are analyzed using Η and 13 C NMR, Elemental analysis, mass spectra and/or IR spectra, as appropnate Typically inert solvents are used, preferably in dried form For example, tetrahydrofiiran (THF) is distilled from sodium and benzophenone, diisopropylamme is distilled from calcium hydride and all other solvents are purchased as die appropriate grade Chromatography is performed on silica gel (70 - 230 mesh, Aldnch) or (230 - 400 mesh, Merck) as appropriate Thm layer chromatography analysis (TLC) is performed on glass mounted silica gel plates (200 - 300 mesh, Baker) and visualized with UV or 5% phosphomolybdic acid in EtOH EXAMPLE 1 la.
