The present invention is related to:(i) matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors containing sulfonylamino acid derivatives of the formula (Ia); wherein R1 is hydrogen, C1-4 alkyl; R2 is hydrogen, C1-8 alkyl etc.; E is -CONR3-, in which R3 is hydrogen, C1-4 alkyl etc., -NR3CO-, -CO-O-, -O-CO- etc.; A is hydrogen, C1-8 alkyl, C3-7 cycloalkyl, or Ar; J is bond, C2-4 alkylene etc.; G is -(CH2)m-, in which m is 2, 3 or 4, orin which R6 and R7 is hydrogen, C1-8 alkyl etc.; and non-toxic salts thereof,(ii) sulfonylamino acid derivatives of the formula (Ib):wherein all the symbols are the same meaning as (i); and non-toxic salts thereof, and(iii) process for the preparation of the compound of the formula (Ib).The compounds of the formula (Ia) are useful for prevention and / or treatment of diseases induced by overexpression and excess activity of MMP. The diseases such as above, for example, are rheumatoid, arthrosteitis, unusual bone resorption, osteoporosis, periodontitis, interstitial nephritis, arteriosclerosis, pulmonary emphysema, cirrhosis, cornea injury, metastasis of, invasion of or growth of tumor cell, autoimmune disease (Crohn's disease, Sjogren's syndrome etc.), disease caused by vascular emigration or infiltration of leukocytes, arterialization.

Phenylalanine derivatives of the following formula, analogues thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have an antagonistic activity to α4 integrin. They are used as therapeutic agents or preventive agents for various diseases concerning α4 integrin in which α4 integrin-depending adhesion process participates in the pathology, such as inflammatory diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, asthma, psoriasis, allergy, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, arterial sclerosis, restenosis, tumor proliferation, tumor metastasis and transplantation rejection.wherein R1 is a methyl group and R2 is a methoxy group.
