| 摘要 |
This invention provides a method of inhibiting proliferation of tumor cells in a subject by administering to the subject an effective amount of ester and thioester compounds containing an N-formyl hydroxylamine group. The compounds with which this invention is concerned thus represent a selection of a subclass from the compounds known in the art as MMP inhibitors, for a specific and previously unrecognized pharmaceutical utility in the inhibition of proliferation of rapidly dividing cells, including such tumor cells as lymphoma, leukemia, myeloma, adenocarcinoma, carcinoma, mesothelioma, teratocarcinoma, choriocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma, melanoma, retinoblastoma, fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma or endothelioma cells by a mechanism other than MMP inhibition.
