Discovery and characterization of the potent, selective and orally bioavailable MMP inhibitor ABT-770

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Jun 18;11(12):1557-60. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00032-4.

Abstract

Modification of the biphenyl portion of MMP inhibitor 2a gave analogue 2i which is greater than 1000-fold selective against MMP-2 versus MMP-1. The stereospecific synthesis of both enantiomers of 2i was achieved beginning with (S)- or (R)-benzyl glycidyl ether. The (S)-enantiomer, 11 (ABT-770), is orally bioavailable and efficacious in an in vivo model of tumor growth.
