The compounds of general formulae IV to XVII used as starting materials, some of which are known from the literature, may be obtained by methods known from the literature. Their preparation is also described in the Examples.
The compounds of general formulae IV, VI, XII, and XIII (in each case with the structure V) may, for example, be prepared analogously to K. Maekawa and J. Ohtani, Agr. Biol. Chem. 1976, 40, 791-799.
Thus, for example, a compound of general formulae V and XIII is obtained by acylation of a corresponding o-diamino compound with a corresponding reactive acyl derivative.
Compounds of general formulae IV with the structure VII may, for example, be obtained analogously to F. Messina, M. Botta, F. Corelli, and C. Villani, Tetrahedron Asymm. 2000, 11, 1681-1685 or R. M. Wilson, R. A. Farr, and D. J. Burlett, J. Org. Chem. 1981, 46, 3293-3302.
Compounds of general formulae XII with the structure VII may, for example, be obtained analogously to L. Capuano, A. Ahlhelm, and H. Hartmann, Chem. Ber. 1986, 119, 2069-2074.
Thus, for example, a compound of general formula XIV and XV is obtained by acylation of a corresponding o-aminohydroxymethyl compound with a corresponding reactive acyl derivative, followed by bromination under Appel conditions or with phosphorus tribromide in pyridine followed by reaction with triphenylphosphine.
The preparation of carboxylic acid derivatives of general formulae XI and XVII is described in “Methoden der organischen Chemie” (Houben-Weyl), volume E5, Carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives, 4th edition, published by Thieme, Stuttgart 1985.
Compounds of general formulae IV and XII with structure VII in each case may, for example, also be prepared analogously to methods described in E. Müller and O. Bayer (Eds.): Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Houben-Weyl), Volume E6b, Hetarene I (ed. R. P. Kreher), supplementary and subsequent volumes to the 4th edition, published by Thieme, Stuttgart 1994, pp. 546-1336.
Moreover, the compounds of general formula I obtained may be resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereomers.
Thus, for example, the compounds of general formula I obtained which occur as racemates may be separated by methods known per se (cf. N. L. Allinger and E. L. Eliel in “Topics in Stereochemistry”, Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical enantiomers and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical-chemical differences using methods known per se, e.g., by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization, and, if these compounds are obtained in racemic form, they may subsequently be resolved into the enantiomers as mentioned above.
The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation on chiral phases or by recrystallization from an optically active solvent or by reacting with an optically active substance which forms salts or derivatives such as, e.g., esters or amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained, e.g., on the basis of their differences in solubility, whilst the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents. Optically active acids in common use are, e.g., the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid. An optically active alcohol may be, for example, (+) or (−)-menthol and an optically active acyl group in amides, for example, may be a (+)- or (−)-menthyloxycarbonyl.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I may be converted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may be used for this purpose include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, or maleic acid.
Moreover, if the new compounds of formula I contain a carboxy group, they may subsequently, if desired, be converted into the salts thereof with inorganic or organic bases, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts thereof. Suitable bases for this purpose include, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine.
As already mentioned, the compounds of general formula I and the tautomers, enantiomers, diastereomers and physiologically acceptable salts thereof have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an antithrombotic activity which is preferably based on an effect on thrombin or factor Xa, for example, on a thrombin-inhibiting or factor Xa-inhibiting activity, on a prolonging effect on the aPTT time and on an inhibitory effect on related serine proteases such as, e.g., urokinase, factor Vila, factor IX, factor XI, and factor XII.
The compounds listed in the Experimental Section were investigated for their effect on the inhibition of factor Xa as follows:
Method:
Enzyme-kinetic measurement with chromogenic substrate. The quantity of p-nitroaniline (pNA) released from the colorless chromogenic substrate by human factor Xa is determined photometrically at 405 nm. It is proportional to the activity of the enzyme used. The inhibition of the enzyme activity by the test substance (in relation to the solvent control) is determined at various concentrations of test substance and from this the IC50 is calculated, as the concentration which inhibits the factor Xa used by 50%.

Procedure:
10 μL of a 23.5-times concentrated starting solution of the test substance or solvent (control), 175 μL of TRIS/HSA buffer and 25 μL of a 65.8 μL Factor Xa working solution are incubated for 10 minutes at 37° C. After the addition of 25 μL of S 2765 working solution (2.82 mmol/L), the sample is measured in a photometer (SpectraMax 250) at 405 nm for 600 seconds at 37° C.
Evaluation:
1. Determining the maximum increase (deltaOD/minutes) over 21 measuring points.
2. Determining the % inhibition based on the solvent control.
3. Plotting a dosage/activity curve (% inhibition vs substance concentration).
4. Determining the IC50 by interpolating the X-value (substance concentration) of the dosage/activity curve at Y=50% inhibition.
All the compounds tested had an IC50 value of less than 100 μmol/L.
The compounds prepared according to the invention are generally well tolerated.
In view of their pharmacological properties the new compounds and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof are suitable for the prevention and treatment of venous and arterial thrombotic diseases, such as, for example, the prevention and treatment of deep leg vein thrombosis, for preventing reocclusions after bypass operations or angioplasty (PT(C)A), and occlusion in peripheral arterial diseases, and for preventing and treating pulmonary embolism, disseminated intravascular coagulation, for preventing and treating coronary thrombosis, for preventing stroke and the occlusion of shunts. In addition, the compounds according to the invention are suitable for antithrombotic support in thrombolytic treatment, such as, for example, with alteplase, reteplase, tenecteplase, staphylokinase or streptokinase, for preventing long-term restenosis after PT(C)A, for the prevention and treatment of ischemic incidents in patients with all forms of coronary heart disease, for preventing metastasis and the growth of tumors and inflammatory processes, e.g., in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, for preventing and treating rheumatoid arthritis, for preventing and treating fibrin-dependent tissue adhesions and/or the formation of scar tissue and for promoting wound healing processes. The new compounds and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof may be used therapeutically in conjunction with acetylsalicylic acid, with inhibitors of platelet aggregation such as fibrinogen receptor antagonists (e.g., abciximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban, or roxifiban), with physiological activators and inhibitors of the clotting system and the recombinant analogues thereof (e.g., Protein C, TFPI, or antithrombin), with inhibitors of ADP-induced aggregation (e.g., clopidogrel or ticlopidine), with P2T receptor antagonists (e.g., cangrelor), or with combined thromboxane receptor antagonists/synthetase inhibitors (e.g., terbogrel).
The dosage required to achieve such an effect is appropriately 0.01 to 3 mg/kg, preferably 0.03 to 1.0 mg/kg by intravenous route, and 0.03 to 30 mg/kg, preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg by oral route, in each case administered 1 to 4 times a day.
