Summary for Patent: 5,100,874
Title: Hydroxamic acid tetrapeptide derivatives
Abstract:New peptide derivatives of which utility in the treatment of such diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, peridental diseases, corneal ulcer and epidermolysis bullosa is expected. These compounds are hydroxamic acid derivatives of tetrapeptides having a specific inhibitory activity against collagenase derived from vertebrates.

Assignee: Fuji Yakuhin Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (Toyama, JP)
Application Number:07/392,931
Patent Claims:1. A peptidylhydroxamic acid derivative of the general formula:

wherein X.sup.1 is a residue of an .alpha.-amino acid selected from glycine and sarcosine, X.sup.2 is a residue of an amino acid selected from proline, hydroxyproline, thioproline and alaine, X.sup.3 is a residue of an amino acid selected from glutamine, glutamic acid, leucine, isoleucine and phenylalanine and X.sup.4 is a residue of an .alpha.-amino acid selected from glycine, alanine, valine, leucine and sarcosine; and the carboxyl group of .alpha.-amino acide X.sup.1 forms a peptide bond together with the amino group of .alpha.-amino acid X.sup.2, the carboxyl group of .alpha.-amino acid and acid X.sup.2 forms a peptide bond together with the amino group of .alpha.-amino acid X.sup.3, the caboxyl group of .alpha.-amino acid X.sup.3 forms a peptide bond together with the amino group of .alpha.-amino acid X.sup.4 and the carboxyl group of .alpha.- amino acid X.sup.4 forms an amido together with --NHOH; and the hydrogen atom of the amino group in said .alpha.-amino acids X.sup.1 may be replaced with a member selected from the group consisting of acetyl, benzoyl, benzyloxy, t-butyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, p-aminobenzoyl, p-amino-benzyl, p-hydroxybenzoyl or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

2. The peptidylhydroxamic acid derivative according to claim 1, wherein X.sup.1 is glycine; X.sup.2 is proline; X.sup.3 is leucine; and X.sup.4 is glycine.

3. A peptidylhydroxamic acid derivative according to claim 1, of the general formula:

wherein X.sup.1 is glycine;

X.sup.2 is proline;

X.sup.4 is alanine or leucine; and

wherein a hydrogen atom of the amino group of X.sup.1 may be replaced with a member selected from the group consisting of acetyl, benzoyl, benzyloxy, t-butyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, p-aminobenzoyl, p-aminobenzyl, p-hydroxybenzoyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

4. A method of inhibiting collagenases which comprises administering to a patient in need thereof a collagenase inhibiting effective amount of the compound according to claim 1.

5. A method of inhibiting collagenases which comprises administering to a patient in need thereof a collagenase inhibiting effective amount of the compound according to claim 3.

6. The peptidylhydroxamic acid derivative according to claim 3, which has the formula:

p-aminobenzoyl-Gly-Pro-D-Leu-D-Ala-NHOH, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

7. The peptidylhydroxamic acid derivative according to claim 3, which has the formula:

p-hydroxybenzoyl-Gly-Pro-D-Leu-D-Ala-NHOH, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

8. The peptidylhydroxamic acid derivative according to claim 2, wherein X.sup.3 is D-Leu.

9. The peptidylhydroxamic acid derivative according to claim 3, wherien D.sup.3 is D-Leu and X.sup.4 is D-Ala.

10. The peptidylhydroxamic acid derivative according to claim 3, wherein X.sup.3 is D-Leu and X.sup.4 is D-Leu.
