Abstract

5-Benzylidene-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-4-one inhibitors of ADAMTS-5 (Aggrecanase-2) have been prepared via commercially available starting materials. The identified compounds show micromolar ADAMTS-5 potency and demonstrate SAR trends for both the aryl group and thioxothiazolidinone zinc chelator. This series of compounds represents steps toward a metalloprotease inhibitor as a disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug.
