摘要 |
The present invention relates generally to pharmaceutical agents containing a heterocyclic moiety, and in particular, to heterocyclic metalloprotease inhibiting compounds. More particularly, the present invention provides a new class of heterocyclic MMP-3, MMP-8 and/or MMP-13 inhibiting compounds with a squaramide or benzoxazinone moiety, that exhibit an increased potency and selectivity in relation to currently known MMP-13, MMP-8 and MMP-3 inhibitors.
