## Background
This application is the National Phase filing of International Patent Application No. PCT/JP01/09759, filed 8 Nov. 2001.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a novel carbamate derivative having the anticoagulant activity which inhibits activated blood coagulation factor X (FXa) and is useful as a medicament, a process for preparing the same and use thereof.
BACKGROUND ART
It is important to inhibit the formation of a thrombus in preventing and/or treating cardiac infarction, cerebral thrombosis and the like, and various anti-thombotic agents such as anti-thrombin agents and platelet aggregation inhibitors have been developed. Nevertheless, platelet aggregation inhibitors as well as anti-thrombin agents have hemorrhagic side effects and problems in their safety, since these agents possess a platelet aggregation-inhibiting activity in combination with anti-coagulative effect. On the other hand, FXa inhibitors specifically inhibit a coagulation factor, and thus are considered to be useful as anticoagulant.
So far, compounds having FXa-inhibiting effects are disclosed for example in JP 7-112970 A, JP 5-208946 A, WO-96/16940, WO96/40679, WO 96/10022, WO 98/28269, WO 99/37304, WO 99/127, and the like.
Currently, there is a demand for a compound which has a stronger FXa inhibiting activity than that of the above-mentioned compounds having FXa inhibiting activity by oral administration, and is practically excellent as a medicament.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The activity of the substance is indicated as a ratio (%) of the clotting time in a treatment group based on the clotting time in the control group.
(3-2) Oral Administration:
Male ICR mice (25 to 35 g, Slc) were employed. 5 ml/kg of a test substance was given by a forcible oral administration to an animal after fasting for 12 hours or longer. 1 hour after administration, a blood was taken from an abdominal aorta under anesthesia with pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.). The test substance was used after suspending in 0.5% methyl cellulose, and 0.5% methyl cellulose was given instead of the test substance in a control group. Otherwise, the procedure similar to that for the intravenous administration described above was employed.
(4) In vivo Antithrombotic Effect Measurement
(4-1) Rat Arteriovenous Shunt Method:
A method by Umetsu et al (Thromb. Haemostas., 39, 74–73, (1978)) was employed. Male SD rats (weighing 250 to 350 g) were used under anesthesia with pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.) to form an extracorporeal circulation of a polyethylene tube attached with a silk thread between the left jugular vein and the right jugular vein. In order to prevent a blood coagulation, the tube had previously been filled with a physiological saline containing heparin (50 U/ml). The blood was allowed to circulate for 15 minutes, the thrombus depositing on the silk thread during which period was weighed wet. A test substance was given orally or intravenously. When given orally, the test substance was suspended in 0.5% methyl cellulose, and given (5 ml/kg) 2 hours before initiation of the experiment to an animal while fasting. In a control group, 0.5% methyl cellulose was given instead of the test substance. When given intravenously, 1 ml/kg was given to a tail vein 5 minutes before initiating the blood circulation. The test substance was used after dissolving in physiological saline, and the physiological saline was given instead of the test substance in a control group. The activity of a test substance is indicated as a ratio (%) of the wet weight of the thrombus in a treatment group based on the wet weight in the control group.
(4-2) Rat Abdominal Vena Cava Partial Stasis Model
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250–400 g, NIPPON CLAIR) were employed. An abdominal vena cava thrombus model was established by a modified Finkle's method (Thromb, Haemostas., 79, 431–438, 1998). An abdominal vena cava was exposed carefully under anesthesia with pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.), and the abdominal vena cava was tied at the renal vein bifurcation and at 1 cm downstream thereof, between which all branches were ligated. A balloon catheter (Fogarty, 2F, Baxter) was inserted from the left femoral vein, and the region between the two ties was injured three times by means of the balloon inflated with 200 to 300 ml of air. The balloon catheter was removed, the thread tied at the renal vein bifurcation was bound together with a 26G needle, and then the needle was removed, whereby establishing a partial stasis. After 30 minutes, another thread was bound, and the thrombus formed between the two threads was isolated carefully, and its wet weight was measured using a hooded analytical balance (BP110S, Sartorius). On the other hand, 2 ml of the blood was taken from an abdominal aorta with a 1/10 volume of 3.8% sodium citrate (CYTORAL, YAMANOUCHI), and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes to obtain a platelet-poor plasma (PPP). A test substance was given orally or intravenously. When given orally, the test substance was suspended in 0.5% methyl cellulose, and given (5 ml/kg) 2 hours before initiation of the experiment to an animal while fasting. In a control group, 0.5% methyl cellulose was given instead of the test substance. When given intravenously, 1 ml/kg was given to a tail vein 5 minutes before initiating the partial stasis. The test substance was used after dissolving in physiological saline, and the physiological saline was given instead of the test substance in a control group. The activity (% inhibition of thrombus formation) of a test substance is indicated as a ratio (%) of the wet weight of the thrombus in a treatment group based on the wet weight in the control group.
(4-3) Rat Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Model
Male SD rats (weighing 250 to 350 g) were employed. A polyethylene tube was inserted into the left femoral vein under anesthesia with pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.). In the polyethylene tube, a silk thread (5 cm in length) which had previously been attached to a guide wire was inserted, and a physiological saline containing heparin (50 U/ml) was filled in order to prevent a blood coagulation. After inserting the polyethylene to reach the abdominal vena cava, the silk thread was placed in the abdominal vena cava using the guide wire. After placing for 30 minutes, heparin (200 U/kg) was given intravenously from a tail vein. After exsanguinating by cutting a brachial artery, the abdominal region was opened and the silk thread was taken out and examined for the wet weight of the thrombus depositing on the thread (including the weight of the thread). A test substance was given at 1 ml/kg to a tail vein 5 minutes before placing the silk thread. The test substance was used after dissolving in physiological saline, and the physiological saline was given instead of the test substance in a control group. The wet weight only of the thrombus was calculated as (wet weight of thrombus depositing on silk thread)−(wet weight determined after immersing silk thread in heparinized venous blood (11.6±0.2 mg)).
