Abstract

A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on a series of piperidine sulfonamide aryl hydroxamic acid analogs acting as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors. The inhibitory potencies of the compounds against two MMPs, MMP-2 and MMP-13, are found to be significantly correlated with the hydrophobic properties of the molecules, suggesting that in both enzymes the hydrophobic interaction is playing a dominant role.
