Abstract
A series of ferulic acid amides with extended P1' groups were synthesized and tested for their inhibitory activities on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9. Preliminary structure–activity relationship analysis and docking studies indicated that ferulic acid amides with electron-donating groups at the amino phenyl ring showed better inhibitory activities and selectivity than those with electron-withdrawing groups. Compound 3e, which had a hydroxyl group at meta-position of amino phenyl ring, showed considerable inhibitory activities against MMP-2, MMP-9 and best selectivity over MMP-1. The findings of this study would provide information for the exploitation and utilization of ferulic acid as MMP inhibitor for metastatic tumor treatment.
Keywords: Design, ferulic acid, inhibitor, metrix metalloproteinase, structure-activity relationship, tumor.
