The present invention relates a process for preparing a compound of Formula XX wherein: R1 is
hydrogen, optionally substituted
alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl,
aryl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkenyloxy or alkynyloxy; R2 is an N-containign heterocyclyl or heteroaryl; and Q is optionally substitued
aryl or heteroaryl. Furthermore a compound of the present invention are useful in the treamtment of various inflammatory, autoimmune and allergic diseases, such as method of treating
asthma,
rheumatoid arthritis,
COPD, rhinitis, osteoartluitis, psoriatic
arthritis,
psoriasis,
pulmonary fibrosis,
wound healing disorders,
pulmonary inflammation,
acute respiratory distress syndrome, perodontitis,
multiple sclerosis,
gingivitis, atherosclerosis, neointimal proliferation, which leads to
restenosis and
ischemic heart failure,
stroke, renal diseases, tumor
metastasis, and other inflammatory disorders characterized by the overexpression and over-activation of a
matrix metalloproteinase using the compound.
