Title: The discovery of novel tartrate-based TNF-[alpha] converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitors

Journal Article · · Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.

A novel series of TNF-{alpha} convertase (TACE) inhibitors which are non-hydroxamate have been discovered. These compounds are bis-amides of L-tartaric acid (tartrate) and coordinate to the active site zinc in a tridentate manner. They are selective for TACE over other MMP's. We report the first X-ray crystal structure for a tartrate-based TACE inhibitor.
