A novel series of achiral TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitors has been discovered. These compounds exhibited activities from 0.35 to 11nM in a porcine TACE assay and inhibited TNF-alpha production in an LPS-stimulated whole blood assay with an IC(50) value of 23nM for the most potent one. They also have excellent selectivities over related metalloproteases including aggrecanases.
