With the exception of collagenase-1 and matrilysin, phosphinic pseudo-tripeptides behave as highly potent inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases, provided they contain in P1' position an unusual long aryl-alkyl substituent. Study of structure-activity relationships regarding the influence of the R and Xaa' substituents in this series may contribute to the design of inhibitors able to block only a few members of the matrix metalloproteinase family.
