International Classification:

C07J 900
C07J 4100

US Classification:

552554

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a bile acid derivative, which comprises a bile acid derivatized at the carboxyl group with a hydroxamic acid or hydroxamate ester. The carboxyl group in the bile acid compound can also be derivatized with an amino acid or oligopeptide, whose C-terminus is derivatized with a hydroxamic acid or a hydroxamate ester. The present invention also relates to a method of use of a bile acid or a bile acid derivative to inhibit a metalloproteinase enzyme, comprising contacting a metalloproteinase with an effective amount of a bile acid or bile acid derivative. In another embodiment, the present invention further relates to a method of use of a bile acid or bile acid derivative to therapeutically treat a disease, which is ameliorated by inhibiting a metalloproteinase enzyme. In this method, a therapeutically effective amount of a bile acid, a bile acid derivative or physiologically acceptable salts thereof, is administered to a human or other mammal.
