1 TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are believed to play a role in various airway inflammatory disorders. Therefore we have tested the effect of two new inhibitors of TACE/MMPs (PKF242-484, PKF241-466) in models of airway inflammation. 2 PKF242-484 and PKF241-466 inhibited purified MMP-1, -2, -3, -9, -13 and rat collagenase at low nanomolar range. Both compounds inhibited the TNF-a release from activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with IC50 values of 56 +/- 28 and 141 +/- 100 nM, respectively and had no significant effect on the activation of other human leukocytes, as neither neutrophils and eosinophils oxidative burst nor proliferation or cytokines production by T cells were inhibited in vitro. 3 PKF242-484 and PKF241-466 had beneficial effects in two different murine models of acute lung inflammation in vivo. The influx of neutrophils and lymphocytes into the airways was reduced 3 and 24 h after intranasal LPS challenge. This was accompanied by reduced levels of myeloperoxidase and elastase activities in the bronchoalveolar lavage. Furthermore, a complete inhibition of TNF-alpha release into the airways was observed. In addition, PKF242-484 effectively reduced the influx of neutrophils, cosinophils and lymphocytes in a model of acute allergic lung inflammation. 4 PKF242-484 and PKF241-466 are two novel and potent dual inhibitors of TACE and MMPs, which show activity in in vivo models of lung inflammation. Such compounds could have beneficial effects in airway inflammatory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
