Abstract
Among various matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMPs having medium-size S1' pockets are established as promising biomolecular targets for executing crucial roles in cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, no such MMP inhibitors (MMPIs) are available to date as drug candidates despite a lot of continuous research work for more than three decades. Due to a high degree of structural resemblance among these MMPs, designing selective MMPIs is quite challenging. However, the variability and uniqueness of the S1' pockets of these MMPs make them promising targets for designing selective MMPIs. In this perspective, the overall structural aspects of medium-size S1' pocket MMPs including the unique binding patterns of enzyme-inhibitor interactions have been discussed in detail to acquire knowledge regarding selective inhibitor designing. This overall knowledge will surely be a curtain raiser for the designing of selective MMPIs as drug candidates in the future.

Abstract
MMP2, a Zn2+-dependent metalloproteinase, is related to cancer and angiogenesis. Inhibition of this enzyme might result in a potential antimetastatic drug to leverage the anticancer drug armory. In silico or computer-aided ligand-based drug design is a method of rational drug design that takes multiple chemometrics (i.e., multi-quantitative structure-activity relationship methods) into account for virtually selecting or developing a series of probable selective MMP2 inhibitors. Though existing matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors have shown plausible pan-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, they have resulted in various adverse effects leading to their being rescinded in later phases of clinical trials. Therefore a review of the ligand-based designing methods of MMP2 inhibitors would result in an explicit route map toward successfully designing and synthesizing novel and selective MMP2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of zinc and calcium-dependent endopeptidases, which contribute to different physiological and biological activities via extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) belongs to type-II collagenases of the MMP family that has contribution in several physiological disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, joint, renal, digestive and respiratory disorders as well as in cancer. In clinical study, MMP-8 is found to be associated with periodontal disease condition. Therefore, MMP-8 specific inhibitors should be developed to target these disorders. The biphenyl sulphonamide (BPS) moiety is one of the crucial structural characteristics found in several MMP-8 inhibitors. Here, different classification-based molecular modelling methods were used to explore the structural features that lead to the activity variation of a series of MMP-8 inhibitors possessing a BPS moiety. Our current classification-based structural analysis of these BPS-derived MMP-8 inhibitors was able to identify the importance of several structural features such as the tetrahydroisoquinoline and N-Boc pyridyl groups, which have positive influences on MMP-8 inhibition. This study was also reflected the importance of the zinc-binding groups (ZBGs) like the hydroxamate and phosphonate for potent and sub-nanomolar range MMP-8 inhibition, which may benefit the development of highly potent MMP-8 inhibitors.

Abstract
The crucial role of extracellular proteases in cancer progression is well-known, especially in relation to the promotion of cell invasion through extracellular matrix remodeling. This also occurs by the ability of extracellular proteases to induce the shedding of transmembrane proteins at the plasma membrane surface or within extracellular vesicles. This process results in the regulation of key signaling pathways by the modulation of kinases, e.g., the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Considering their regulatory roles in cancer, therapeutics targeting various extracellular proteases have been discovered. These include the metal-binding agents di-2-pyridylketone 4,4-dimethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (Dp44mT) and di-2-pyridylketone-4-cyclohexyl-4-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (DpC), which increase c-MET degradation by multiple mechanisms. Both the direct and indirect inhibition of protease expression and activity can be achieved through metal ion depletion. Considering direct mechanisms, chelators can bind zinc(II) that plays a catalytic role in enzyme activity. In terms of indirect mechanisms, Dp44mT and DpC potently suppress the expression of the kallikrein-related peptidase-a prostate-specific antigen-in prostate cancer cells. The mechanism of this activity involves promotion of the degradation of the androgen receptor. Additional suppressive mechanisms of Dp44mT and DpC on matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) relate to their ability to up-regulate the metastasis suppressors N-myc downstream regulated gene-1 (NDRG1) and NDRG2, which down-regulate MMPs that are crucial for cancer cell invasion.

Abstract
Deep learning is developing as an important technology to perform various tasks in cheminformatics. In particular, graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs) have been reported to perform well in many types of prediction tasks related to molecules. Although GCN exhibits considerable potential in various applications, appropriate utilization of this resource for obtaining reasonable and reliable prediction results requires thorough understanding of GCN and programming. To leverage the power of GCN to benefit various users from chemists to cheminformaticians, an open-source GCN tool, kGCN, is introduced. To support the users with various levels of programming skills, kGCN includes three interfaces: a graphical user interface (GUI) employing KNIME for users with limited programming skills such as chemists, as well as command-line and Python library interfaces for users with advanced programming skills such as cheminformaticians. To support the three steps required for building a prediction model, i.e., pre-processing, model tuning, and interpretation of results, kGCN includes functions of typical pre-processing, Bayesian optimization for automatic model tuning, and visualization of the atomic contribution to prediction for interpretation of results. kGCN supports three types of approaches, single-task, multi-task, and multi-modal predictions. The prediction of compound-protein interaction for four matrixmetalloproteases, MMP-3, -9, -12 and -13, in the inhibition assays is performed as a representative case study using kGCN. Additionally, kGCN provides the visualization of atomic contributions to the prediction. Such visualization is useful for the validation of the prediction models and the design of molecules based on the prediction model, realizing “explainable AI” for understanding the factors affecting AI prediction. kGCN is available at https://github.com/clinfo.

Abstract
Enzymes of the M4 family of zinc-metalloproteinases are virulence factors secreted from gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, and putative drug targets in the treatment of bacterial infections. In order to have a therapeutic value such inhibitors should not interfere with endogenous zinc-metalloproteinases. In the present study we have synthesised a series of hydroxamate derivatives and validated the compounds as inhibitors of the M4 enzymes thermolysin and pseudolysin, and the endogenous metalloproteinases ADAM-17, MMP-2 and MMP-9 using experimental binding studies and molecular modelling. In general, the compounds are stronger inhibitors of the MMPs than of the M4 enzymes, however, an interesting exception is LM2. The compounds bound stronger to pseudolysin than to thermolysin, and the molecular modelling studies showed that occupation of the S2(') subpocket by an aromatic group is favourable for strong interactions with pseudolysin.

Abstract
Epigenetic effects are exerted by a variety of factors and evidence increases that common drugs such as opioids, cannabinoids, valproic acid, or cytostatics may induce alterations in DNA methylation patterns or histone conformations. These effects occur via chemical structural interactions with epigenetic enzymes, through interactions with DNA repair mechanisms. Computational predictions indicate that one-twentieth of all drugs might potentially interact with human histone deacetylase, which was prospectively experimentally verified for the compound with the highest predicted interaction probability. These epigenetic effects add to wanted and unwanted drug effects, contributing to mechanisms of drug resistance or disease-related and unrelated phenotypes. Because epigenetic changes might be transmitted to offspring, the need for reliable and cost-effective epigenetic screening tools becomes acute.

Abstract
The importance of sulphonamide moiety in medicinal chemistry cannot be ignored as it constitutes an important class of extensively used drugs. Recently, sulphonamides have also been reported for their matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitory activity. MMPs are calcium- and zinc-dependent endopeptidases, involved in both inter- and intra-cellular activity. This review documents the emergence of sulphonamides as matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs) from the first generation to the recent third generation MMPIs, their mode of action - how sulphonamides act on MMPs? as well as the structure activity relationship along with their therapeutic uses in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ulcer, asthma, arthritis and cancer. From this review, readers can get answer for the question- is sulphonamides a potential class of MMPIs?

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important factors in gliomas since these enzymes facilitate invasion into the surrounding brain and participate in neovascularization. In particular, the gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9), and more recently MMP-25, have been shown to be highly expressed in gliomas and have been associated with disease progression. Thus, inhibition of these MMPs may represent a promising non-cytotoxic approach to glioma treatment. We report herein the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of 4-butylphenyl(ethynylthiophene)sulfonamido-based hydroxamates. Among the new compounds tested, a promising derivative, 5a, was identified, which exhibits nanomolar inhibition of MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-25, but weak inhibitory activity toward other members of the MMP family. This compound also exhibited anti-invasive activity of U87MG glioblastoma cells at nanomolar concentrations, without affecting cell viability.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Bones play many roles in the body, providing structure, protecting organs, anchoring muscles and storing calcium. Over 100 million people worldwide suffer from bone diseases, mainly osteoporosis, cancer-related bone loss, osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis. Osteoporosis itself has no specific symptoms, and the main consequence is the increased risk of bone fractures. Therefore, the prevention of bone diseases is important to maintain the quality of life in the human society. However, treatment options are still insufficient. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW This review article gives a summary of the low molecular mass modulators of bone diseases targets disclosed in patent applications and articles, mainly during the last 5 years. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN Readers will rapidly gain an overview of these modulators not only for historical targets, but also of emerging and re-visited targets. Readers will also be able to see the current research trend and the main players in this field. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Drug discovery for bone diseases has made progress in the last years. The research area has dynamically shifted from historical targets (bisphosphonate, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin) to newly confirmed targets or targets re-visited which were biologically validated in the past. Cathepsin K inhibitors should be very close to launching in the market.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most commonly diagnosed malignant primary brain tumour in adults. Invasive behaviour is the pathological hallmark of malignant gliomas; consequently, its inhibition has been suggested as a therapeutic strategy. Tumour cell-derived gelatinases (matrix metalloproteinase-2, matrix metalloproteinase-9) can be considered prime factors in glioma invasiveness: their expression correlates with the progression and the degree of malignancy. Thus, broad spectrum matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMP inhibitors) have been included in clinical trials. In the present study, the invasiveness, viability and progression of the human glioma cell line U87MG were investigated following treatment with N-O-isopropyl sulfonamido-based hydroxamates (compounds 1 and 2) as MMP-2 inhibitors used at nanomolar concentration. A standard broad spectrum MMP-inhibitor belonging to the classical tertiary sulfonamido-based hydroxamates family (CGS_27023A) was used too. The compounds 1 and 2 resulted in potent inhibition of cell invasiveness (P<0.0001) without affecting viability. In some clinical trials, the combined therapy of temozolomide (an alkylating agent used in glioma treatment) plus marimastat (a broad spectrum MMP inhibitor) has provided evidence of the importance of MMPs to tumor progression and invasiveness. On this basis, the effect on U87MG cells of a combined treatment with temozolomide, plus each of the two MMP inhibitors at nanomolar concentration, was investigated. The obtained data demonstrated the inhibition of cell invasiveness and viability after treatment. These results can help in developing clinical combined therapy using MMP inhibitors that, at low doses, increase the anticancer efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs, probably without causing the side effects typical of broad-spectrum MMP inhibitors.

Abstract
Overexpression of macrophage elastase (MMP-12), a member of the matrix metalloproteinases family, can be linked to tissue remodeling and degradation in some inflammatory processes, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and atherosclerosis. On this basis, MMP-12 can be considered an attractive target for studying selective inhibitors that are useful in the development of new therapies for COPD and other inflammatory diseases. We report herein the design, synthesis, and in vitro evaluation of a new series of compounds, possessing an arylsulfonyl scaffold, for their potential as selective inhibitors of MMP-12. The best compound in the series showed an IC50 value of 0.2 nM, with good selectivity over MMP-1 and MMP-14. A docking study was carried out on this compound in order to investigate its binding interactions with MMP-12, and NMR studies on the complex with the MMP-12 catalytic domain were able to validate the proposed binding mode.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) is a key enzyme implicated in the degradation of the extracellular matrix in osteoarthritis (OA). For this reason, MMP-13 synthetic inhibitors are being sought as potential therapeutic agents to prevent cartilage degradation and to halt the progression of OA. Herein, we report the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of a new series of selective MMP-13 inhibitors possessing an arylsulfonamidic scaffold. Among these potential inhibitors, a very promising compound was discovered exhibiting nanomolar activity for MMP-13 and was highly selective for this enzyme compared to MMP-1, -14, and TACE. This compound acted as a slow-binding inhibitor of MMP-13 and was demonstrated to be effective in an in vitro collagen assay and in a model of cartilage degradation. Furthermore, a docking study was conducted for this compound in order to investigate its binding interactions with MMP-13 and the reasons for its selectivity toward MMP-13 versus other MMPs.

Abstract
This short review highlights some recent advances in matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor (MMPi) design and development. Three distinct approaches to improved MMP inhibition are discussed: (1) the identification and investigation of novel zinc-binding groups (ZBGs), (2) the study of non-zinc-binding MMPi, and (3) mechanism-based MMPi that form covalent adducts with the protein. Each of these strategies is discussed and their respective advantages and remaining challenges are highlighted. The studies discussed here bode well for the development of ever more selective, potent, and well-tolerated MMPi for treating several important disease pathologies.

Abstract
Invasive and metastatic cells, as well as endothelial cells, must cross basement membranes (BMs) in order to disseminate or to form new blood vessels. The chemoinvasion assay using the reconstituted BM Matrigel in Boyden blind-well chambers is a very rapid, easy, inexpensive and flexible test that can be used to quantify the invasive potential of most cell types; it can be applied to detect the migratory activity associated with matrix degradation and can also be adapted to study the selective degrading activity on different matrix substrates. Transwell inserts can also be used. Once the optimal experimental conditions are empirically determined for specific cellular models, the chemoinvasion assay can be used for the screening of inhibitors of invasiveness and angiogenesis, or to select for invasive cellular populations. This protocol can be completed in 9 h.

Abstract
As the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) can be massively up-regulated in degenerative tissues and degrade the extracellular matrix, these key enzymes are promising targets for the therapy of cancer and other degenerative diseases. Here, we are presenting a series of new non-peptidic hydroxamate-based matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors, MMPIs, incorporating the iminodiacetic (IDA) hydroxamic acid scaffold, as mimics of truncated peptidic MMPIs. A series of alkylaryl and sulfonylaryl groups, on the IDA basic scaffold, was investigated with the aim of improving potency and selectivity against MMPs involved in degenerative diseases. The sulfonamide based IDA derivatives studied (compounds B1-B3) showed to be potent (nM range) against deep S1' pocket MMPs enzymes (i.e., MMP-2).

Abstract
Two series of 1-(6-chloro-1,1-dioxo-1,4,2-benzodithiazin-3-yl)-4-arylsemicarbazides 6-17 and 2-arylamino-8-chloro-5,5-dioxo[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-b][1,4,2]benzodithiazines 18-26 were prepared in order to evaluate their biological activity. Compounds 6 and 18-26 were tested for their in vitro cytotoxic potency against 12 human cancer cell lines. The compounds 6 and 19 were inactive, whereas triazolobenzodithiazines 18, 20-26 possess tumor growth inhibitory properties. The prominent methyl 8-chloro-2-(4-chlorophenylamino)-5,5-dioxo[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-b][1,4,2]benzodithiazine-7-carboxylate (21) exhibited potency higher or comparable to cisplatin. Moreover, compounds 6, 9, 19 and 23-25 with structure similar to other chemotherapeutic agents were tested for their antibacterial activity and exhibited MIC and MBC against Staphylococcus aureus (3.9-31.5 microg ml).

Abstract
The search for an MMP inhibitor with anticancer efficacy is a nearly three-decade endeavor. This inhibitor is yet to be found. The reasons for this failure include shortcomings in the chemistry of these compounds (including broad MMP sub-type selectivity, metabolic lability, and toxicity) as well as the emerging, and arguably extraordinary, complexity of MMP cell (and cancer) biology. Together these suggest that the successful anticancer inhibitor must possess MMP selectivity against the MMP subtype whose involvement is critical, yet highly temporally (with respect to metastatic progression) and mechanistically (with respect to matrix degradation) regulated. This review summarizes the progression of chemical structure and mechanistic thinking toward these objectives, with emphasis on the disappointment, the perseverance, and the resilient optimism that such an inhibitor is there to be discovered.

Abstract
Ab initio calculations (B3LYP/Lanl2DZ level of theory) were performed in this study to determine all the structural and catalytic zinc parameters required in order to study MMPs and their complexes with hydroxamate inhibitors by means of the AMBER force field. The parameters thus obtained were used in order to study the docking of some known MMPi (Batimastat, CGS 27023A and Prinomastat) and our previously described inhibitor a which had shown an inhibitory activity for MMP-1, and -2, with the aim of explaining the different selectivity. On this basis the two enantiomers (R)-b and (S)-b were designed and synthesized, as more potent MMP-2 inhibitors than our previously described inhibitor a. Between these two enantiomers the eutomer (R)-b proved to be 24.7 times and 15.3 times more potent than CGS 27023A and the parent compound a on MMP-2, maintaining a higher index of MMP-2/MMP-1 selectivity compared with CGS 27023A and the more potent inhibitor Prinomastat. The hydroxamate (R)-b can be considered as a progenitor of a new class of biphenylsulfonamido-based inhibitors that differ from compound a in the presence of an alkyl side chain on the C alpha atom, and show different potency and selectivity profiles on the two MMPs considered.
