Through the use of empirical and computational methods, phosphinate-based inhibitors of MMP-1 and MMP-13 that bind into the S2 pocket of these enzymes were designed. The synthesis and testing of 2 suggested that binding was occurring as hypothesized. Structure determination of a co-crystal of 2 bound to the catalytic domain of MMP-1 confirmed the binding mode. Substituents binding into S2, S1', S2' and S3', were optimized yielding compounds with low double-digit nM IC50's against these enzymes.
