Identification of potent and selective TACE inhibitors via the S1 pocket

By focusing on the P1 portion of the piperidine β-sulfone ligands we identified a motif that induces selectivity and resulted in a series of TACE inhibitors that demonstrated excellent in vitro potency against isolated TACE enzyme and excellent selectivity over MMPs 1, 2, 9, 13, and 14.
