Description: PEPTIDYL HETEROCYCLES USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF THROMBIN RELATED DISORDERS This invention relates a series of peptidyl heterocycles, intermediates used in their manufacture and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The compounds are inhibitors of serine proteases, particularly α- thrombin and may be used in a variety of thrombin related disorders such as venous thrombosis and arterial thrombosis. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION With a rapidly aging population, diseases of the vascular system are of great concern to our society. Arterial thrombosis is the major cause of death in the form of heart attacks and strokes.while venous thrombosis is associated with pulmonary embolism which occurs after surgery or extended periods of inactivity. Thrombin is a multifunctional serine protease whose role in thrombosis and hemostasis has been documented by a number of sources ( See generally. Tapparelli, et al. TiPS 1993, 14, 366-76). Thrombin acts as a procoagulant through proteolytic cleavage of fibrinogen to form fibrin and as an anticoagulant through activation of the protein C pathway, (followed by inactivation of coagulation factors V and VIII. ) The concentration of active thrombin is limited by a number of feedback mechanisms involving endogenous factors and proteins . In addition to protein C, antithrombin III is another regulating protein which forms a complex with endogenous heparin. This complex binds to active thrombin, thus inactivating it. Current anticoagulant therapy consists of three classes of compounds: heparins, coumarins and low molecular weight heparins. These drugs act indirectly to limit the concentration of active thrombin. Heparins and low molecular weight heparins interact with antithrombin III and the coumarins inhibit a number of vitamin K dependent coagulation factors. Although these drugs are prescribed for diseases associated with venous thrombosis and arterial thrombosis, their use is limited. They have a number of side effects, a slow onset of action and only the coumarins are orally active (warfarin and dicumarol). Indirect thrombin inhibitors have been shown to be less effective at controlling associated diseases than direct thrombin inhibitors. Thus the search for orally active αirect thrombin inhibitors is underway in a number of laboratories. These efforts have produced a number of small peptidyl compounds which directly inhibit thrombin. PPACK, argatroban, (D -NAPAP and DUP 714 are examples of the direct thrombin inhibitors of interest. argatroban DUP 714 PPACK Unfortunately, only some of these compounds are weakly orally active and most have a poor selectivity for thrombin versus other serine proteases. Therefore, a need remains for direct thrombin inhibitors which exhibit good selectivity over other serine proteases and are orally active.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The compounds of the invention may be prepared as illustrated in Scheme I. The illustrated example prepares a compound where A is a polypeptide where the first amino acid is L-proline and the second amino acid is M-methyl-D-phenylalanine, R-i is hydrogen, R2 is amidino C 4 alkyl, p is 0 and E is benzoxazol-2-yl. Other compounds which may be prepared from this general scheme are listed below with the appropriate modifications. A natural or unnatural amino acid is the starting point for the scheme. Compound la is prepared by known synthetic procedures to give the protected amino acid, where the α-amino group is protected with CBZ and the co-amino is protected with a Ts. Culvenor, et al. J. Chem . Soc. D. 1969 19„ 1091. The protecting groups can be varied . In Scheme I the α-amino and ω-amino protecting groups must be stable to moderately acidic conditions and removed by methods that are mutually exclusive. Examples of appropriate α-amino and ω-amino protecting groups are listed respectively: FMOC-TS, FMOC-NO2 and CBZ-NO 2 . For examples of other suitable protecting groups see Green, Theodora. Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis; John Wiley & Sons. New York, 1981. la Ic Id If ig Ii Compound la is coupled to 1 ,1 '-carbonyldiimidazole in THF at 0-10° C, followed by treatment with DIBAL iexane at -42 °C to give aldehyde Ib_ using the method described by Greco, et al. Journal Of The American Chemical Society, 1995, 777, 1225. A direct conversion of la to Ib_ may be accomplished using bis(N.-methylpiperazinyl)aluminurn hydride in toluene at 0 °C to reflux. (Hubert, et al. Journal Of Organic Chemistry, 1984, 49, 2279). Another method for the direct conversion of la to lb uses borane- dimethylsulfide in THF at 25 °C to reflux. Brown, et al. Synthesis 1979, 704. Yet another method is to convert the carDoxylic acid to the corresponding Weinreb Amide using triethylamine, BOP and N.O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride. Reduction of formed amide with LAH in THF gives the corresponding aldehyde. Cyanohydrin Ic. is prepared by the addition of KCN to an emulsion of the aldehyde ] in H 2 0, MeOH and ethyl acetate at room temperature. Alternatively compound Iς can prepared combining aldehyde Ik, acetone cyanohydrin and triethylamine in dichloromethane at room temperature. Imidate . is prepared by treating l£ with gaseous HCI in methanol. Benzoxazole If is prepared by heating I<i with fe in ethanol at reflux. Amine lg is prepared by hydrogenolysis of If using Pd(OH)2/C as a catalyst at room temperature under atmospheric or elevated pressure using a hydrogen donor solvent. Other catalysts such as Pd/C or Pd black can be employed using suitable reaction conditions. Other reagents that may be used to remove the CBZ group include: hydrazine, iodotrimethylsilane methanesulfonic acid/anisole and boron tribromide. Compound lg may be coupled with acid Ih HOBT and DCC in CH3CN at room temperature to give the coupled alcohol Ij.. Other suitable coupling reagents include : BOP, BOP-CI and PyBrOP. Compound Ii is oxidized to compound Ij using periodinane in an anhydrous aprotic solvent. The final step of the Scheme I is deprotection of Ii using HF in the presence of a carbocation scavenger such as anisole, thioanisole, pentamethylbenzene, dimethylsulfide and cresol followed by reverse phase choromatography to give the final product Ik- To produce the compounds of the invention where A is C-Malkyl, phenylCι-4alkyl and substituted phenylC-Malkyl, the starting material of Scheme I is modified. Treatment of compound la with two equivalents of sodium hydride in DMF from 0°C to room temperature followed by an alkyl halide gives the M-alkylated carboxylic acid. This acid can be treated under the same reaction conditions used in Scheme I to give the desired compounds as illustrated in Scheme IA. la 1-Periodinane 2- HF/anisole If A is Ci-4alkoxycarbonyl, phenylC- alkoxycarbonyl, Cι-4alkylcarbonyl, C3-7cycloalkylcarbonyl, phenylcarbonyl, and substituted phenylcarbonyl, Scheme I may be modified once again. The CBZ group of la is removed and the resulting free amine is reacted with an appropriate carbonyl compound. Examples of such compounds are benzoyi chloride, propionyl chloride, methyl chloroformate, cyclohexane carbonyl chloride, benzyl chloroformate and the like. This starting material is used in Scheme IB, under the same conditions used in Scheme IA to give the desired compounds. SCHEME IB la 1-Periodinane 2- HF/anisole Similarly, when A is: Ci -4alkylsulfonyl, perfluoro Cι-4alkylsulfonyi, phenylsulfonyl, substituted phenylsulfonyl, Ci -4alkylsuifinyl, perfluoro Ci-4alkylsulfinyl, phenylsulfinyl, substituted phenylsulfinyl , 1 - napthylsulfonyl, 2-napthylsulfonyl and substituted napthylsulfonyl, 1 - napthylsulfinyl, 2-napthylsulfinyl or substituted napthylsulfinyl; the desired compounds may be prepared from their corresponding commercially available arylsulfonyl and aryl sulfinyl halides using Scheme IB. If A is an amino acid, whose amino terminus is connected to another group, Scheme I may be used again. The N-coupled amino acid (protected if necessary) replaces Ih in Scheme I using the same reaction conditions. Alanine, asparagine, 2-azetidinecarboxylic acid, glycine, proline, pipecolinic acid, valine, methionine, cysteine, serine, threonine, leucine, tert-leucine. and isoleucine may be used in this scheme where their amino groups are connected to Ci-4alkyl, (phenylCi -4alkyl), (substituted phenyl Ci -4aikyl), (1 ,1-diphenyiCi -4alkyl, 3-phenyl-2-hydroxypropionyl), (2,2-diphenyl-1 - hydroxyethylcarbonyl), ([1 ,2,3,4]-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1 -carbonyl), ([1 ,2,3,4]-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carbonyl), (1 -methylamino-1 - cyclohexanecarbonyl), (1 -hydroxy-1 -cyclohexanecarbonyl), (1 -hydroxy-1 -phenylacetyl), 1 -cyclohexyl-1 -hydroxyacetyl, 3-phenyl-2- hydroxypropionyl, 3,3-diphenyl-2-hydroxypropionyl, 3-cyclohexyi-2- hydroxypropionyl, formyl, C1-4 alkoxycarbonyl, C-|-4alkylcarbonyl, perfluoroCι-4 alkylCo-4 alkylcarbonyl, phenylCi -4alkylcarbonyl, substituted phenylCι-4alkylcarbonyl, 1 ,1 -diphenylCι-4 alkylcarbonyl, substituted 1 ,1- diphenylCM alkylcarbonyl, perfluoroCι-4 alkylsulfonyl, C1.4 alkylsulfonyl, phenylsulfonyl, substituted phenylsulfonyl, perfluoroC1 -4alkylsulfinyl, Ci-4alkylsulfinyl, phenylsulfinyl, substituted phenylsulfinyl, 1 -napthylsulfonyl, 2-napthylsulfonyl, substituted napthylsulfonyl, 1 -napthylsulfinyl, 2- napthylsulfinyl, and substituted napthylsulfinyl. If A is a dipeptide whose amino terminus is connected to another group, once again Scheme I may be used. One example is the replacement of Ih with N-methyl-N-CBZ-D-phenylalanyl-L-azetidinecarboxylic acid to give the corresponding final product using substantially the same reaction conditions as Scheme I. To prepare compounds where R-i is H and R2 is aminoC2-5alkyl, guanidinoC2-5alkyl, amidinoC2-5 alkyl, C 1 -3 alkoxyC 2-5 alkyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl (where the substituents are selected from amidino, guanidino, CMalkylamino, halogen, perfluoro CM alkyl, C-Malkyl, d-3alkoxy and nitro), benzyl, aryl substituted benzyl (where the substituents are selected from amidino, guanidino, C alkylamino. halogen, perfluoro C alkyl, C1-4 alkyl, C 1 - 3 alkoxy and nitro), (pyridin-4-yl)amino C 1 . 4 alkyl, (pyridin-3-yl)amino Cι- 4 alkyl, Ci-salkylamino C 2 -5aikyl, and C^s alkyl; Scheme I may be used once again. Starting material la may be replaced with commercially available amino acids, such as : arginine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine, p-amidinophenyl alanine, methoxypropyl glycine and 2-(3-pyridyl)alanine; where the α amino group, as well as any other reactive substituents are protected with CBZ, Ts or FMOC as appropriate. If the desired substituents are not commerically available, as is the case when R2 is substituted phenyl and substituted benzyl, the desired amino acid may be synthesized by published chemical procedures. See D. A. Evans etal {Tetrahedron 1988, 44, 5525-5540). To prepare compounds where E is 4-oxo-2-quinoxalin-2-yl, benzimidazol-2-yl and benzothiazol-2-yl, Scheme I may be used again. Replacement of le. with 2-aminothiophenol gives the benzothiazole derivatives following the same reaction conditions as Scheme I; with the caveat one must not use Pd to remove the CBZ group. However any of the other methods listed earlier may be used. If E is 5-carboethoxythiazol-2-yl, Scheme I may be modified to give the desired compounds, as illustrated in Scheme Ic. Replacement of compound la with cysteine ethyl ester hydrochloride gives the thiazoline derivative H at room temperature using CH2CI 2 as a solvent. Oxidation of the thaizoline ring of compound H with Mnθ2 at room temperature gives thiazole Im* Oxidation of the hydroxyl group of Im, followed by removal of the * amino protecting groups with HF/anisole gives the carboethoxy derivative In. To prepare ester derivatives of In, the carboethoxy group in either U, la or Im may be modified using known chemistry. One can prepare the following ester derivatives in this manner: carboxy, amido, formyi and other alkoxyCι- 4 carbonyl groups. SCHEME IC Im In Another method of preparing the compounds of the invention is illustrated in Scheme II. The illustrated example prepares a compound where A is L-proiine which is connected at its N-terminus to (1 ,1-diphenyl C 2 alkylcarbonyl ), R-i is hydrogen, R 2 is guanidino C3 alkyl, p is 0 and E is thiazol-2-yl. Other compounds which may be prepared from this general scheme are listed below with the appropriate modifications. lid A commercially available acid IJa is the starting point for this scheme. Said acid is converted into the activated ester derivative flb by treatment with DCC and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoi at - 20 - 0 °C in an inert solvent such as THF. The proline derivative IJo was prepared by treating Nb_ with JJk triethyl amine and pyrindine. Alternatively Hd could have been prepared directly by treating acid IJa with amino acid U_ς in the presence any of the peptide coupling agents listed in Scheme I. The Weinrab amide of NαBoc-Nω-tosylarginine, He. was prepared by literature procedures from the protected acid. DiMaio, et al. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 1992, 35, 3331. This amide was treated with IJf at -78 °C in THF to give ketone g. This ketone may be reduced with a hydride reducing agent such as sodium borohydride, at -20 ° to room temperature followed by treatment with TFA at room temperature to give the corresponding amine Uji. Coupling Ah and lid in the presence of DCC and HOBT at room temperature in acetonitrile gives the coupled alcohol I_π.

Oxidation of UJ to the ketone using periodinane in CH2CI2, followed by removal of the ω-amino protecting group with HF and anisole gives the desired product Uj. To prepared compounds of the invention where A is Chalky!, phenylCι-4 alkyl, or substituted phenylCι- 4 alkyl, the starting material of Scheme II can modified and used as illustrated in Scheme IIA. SCHEME IIA The starting material for Scheme IIA is made from the protected Weinrab amide, He. The amide is deprotected with TFA, reductively alkylated with an appropriate substrate and sodium cyanoborohydride and protection with BOC to the N-aikylated starting material. The illustrated example uses benzaldehyde as a substrate for the reductive alkylation. The alkylated material can be treated with the same conditions and reagents as Scheme II to give the desired compounds. If A is formyl, Ci-4alkoxycarbonyl, phenylCi-4 alkoxycarbonyl, Ci-4alkylcarbonyl, C3-7cycloalkylcarbonyi, phenylcarbonyl, and substituted phenylcarbonyl, Scheme II may be modified once again. The BOC group of lie is removed with TFA at room temperature and the resulting free amine is reacted with an appropriate commercially available carbonyl compound. Examples of such compounds are formic acid/acetic anhydride, benzoyi chloride, propionyl chloride, methyl chloroformate, cyclohexane carbonyl chlorideand the like. This starting material is used under the same conditions used in Scheme IIA to give the desired compounds. Similarly, when A is: Ci-4alkylsuifonyl, perfluoro Cι- alkylsulfonyl, phenylsulfonyl, substituted phenylsulfonyl, Ci -4alkylsulfinyl, perfluoro Ci-4alkylsulfinyl, phenylsulfinyl, substituted phenylsulfinyl , 1 -napthylsulfonyl, 2-napthyisuifonyl and substituted napthylsulfonyl, 1 - napthylsulfinyl, 2-napthylsulfinyi and substituted napthylsulfinyl; the desired compounds may be prepared from their corresponding commercially available arylsulfonyi and aryl sulfinyl halides using Scheme IIA. If A is an amino acid, whose amino terminus is connected to another group, Scheme II may be used again. The N-coupled amino acid may be purchased or prepared by known procedures. This amino acid will replace lid in Scheme II using the same reaction conditions. Alanine, asparagine, 2-azetidinecarboxyiic acid, glycine, proline, pipecolinic acid, valine, methionine, cysteine, serine, threonine, leucine, tert-leucine. and isoleucine may be used in this scheme where their amino groups are connected to C -4alkyl, phenylC -4alkyl, substituted phenyl Ci -4alkyl, 1 ,1 -diphenylCi -4alkyl, 3-phenyl-2-hydroxypropionyl, 2,2-diphenyl-1 - hydroxyethylcarbonyl, [1 , 2,3, 4]-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1 -carbonyl, [1 ,2,3,4]- tetrahydroisoquinoiine-3-carbonyl, 1 -methylamino-1 -cyclohexanecarbonyl, 1 -hydroxy-1 -cyclohexanecarbonyl, 1 -hydroxy-1 -phenylacetyl, 1 -cyclohexyl- 1-hydroxyacetyl, 3-phenyl-2-hydroxypropionyl, 3,3-diphenyl-2- hydroxypropionyl, 3-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxypropionyl, formyl, C1 -4 alkoxycarbonyl, C1-4 alkylcarbonyl, perfluoro CM alkyl Co-4 alkylcarbonyl, phenyl C1 -4 alkylcarbonyl, substituted phenyl Ci -4 alkylcarbonyl, 1 ,1-diphenyl C1-4 alkylcarbonyl, substituted 1,1-diphenyl C alkylcarbonyl, perfluoroC-i -4 alkylsulfonyl, Ci-4alkylsulfonyl, phenylsulfonyl, substituted phenylsulfonyl, perfluoroC1-4alkyisulfinyl, Ci -4alkylsulfinyl, phenylsulfinyl, substituted phenylsulfinyl, 1 -napthylsulfonyl, 2-napthylsuifonyl, and substituted napthylsulfonyl, 1 -napthylsulfinyl, 2-napthylsulfinyl, and substituted napthylsulfinyl. If A is a dipeptide whose amino terminus is connected to another group, once again Scheme II may be used. One example is the replacement of M with N-methyl-phenylaiane-pipecolinic acid to give the corresponding final product using substantially the same reaction conditions as Scheme II. To prepare compounds where R*ι is H and R2 is amino C 2-5 alkyl, guanidino C2-5alkyl, amidino C2-5 alkyl, Cι- alkoxy C 2-salkyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl (where the substituents are selected from amidino, guanidino, C 1-4 alkylamino, halogen, perfluoro C 1-4 alkyl, CM alkyl, C ι-3alkoxy and nitro), benzyl, aryl substituted benzyl (where the substituents are selected from amidino, guanidino, C1.4 alkylamino, halogen, perfluoro C alkyl, C1 -4 aikyl, C 1 -3 aikoxy and nitro), (pyridin-4- yl)amino Cι-4alkyl, (pyridin-3-yl)amιno Cι.4alkyl. C1-5 alkylamino C2-5 alkyl, and C1-5 aikyl; Scheme II may be used once again. Using the methods of DiMaio, et al. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 1992, 35, 3331 , the Weinreb amides of known protected amino acid may prepared. These compounds replace compound Ik, in Scheme II and are treated under the same reaction conditions illustrated in Scheme II. Scheme II may be used once again to prepare compounds of the invention where E is oxazol-2-yl; thiazol-2-yl; thiazol-5-yl; thiazol-4-yl; 1 - alkylimidazol-2-yl; 2-pyridyl; 3-pyridyl; 4-pyridyl; benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl; benzoxazol-2-yl; 1 -alkylbenzimidazo!-1 -yl; benzothiazol-2-yl; 1 - alkylindol-2-yl; 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazol-2-yl; naphtho[2,1 -d]thiazol-2- yl; naphtho[1 ,2-d]thiazol-2-yi; pyrimidin-2-yl; quinoxalin-2-yl; benzo[b]furan- 2-yl; pyrazin-2-yl, quinazolin-2-yl, isothiazol-5-yl, isothiazol-3-yl. When the nitrogen at position 1 is protected with a base-stable protecting group (eg. TMS, Boc, Ts, etc), Scheme II may be used to prepare compounds of the invention where E is imidazol-2-yi; pyrazol-2-yl; triazol-2-yl; triazol-4-yl; triazol-6-yl; tetrazol-2-yl; quinolin-2-yl; indol-2-yl; isoquinolin-1 -yl; isoquinolin-3-yl; and purin-8-yl (requires protection at position 7 instead of 1 ). Replacement of Ilf with any of the known lithiated heterocycles listed gives the desired compounds. Another method of preparing the compounds of the invention is illustrated in Scheme III. The illustrated example prepares a compound where A is a polypeptide where the first amino acid is L-proline and the second amino acid is M-methyl-D-phenylalanine, R-j is hydrogen, R2 is (guanidino C3 alkyl), p is 1 , n is 0, R3 is H and E is thiazol-2-yl. SCHEME III Illi Compounds of the invention where E is equal to pyrazo3-yl is can be prepared via thel ,3-dipolar addition of diazoketones to alkynes (Padwa et al, "1 ,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Chemistry," 2 vols., Wiley, New York, 1984), which is exemplified in Scheme IN. Diazoketone intermediate IVa ( i. S. Patent 4.318.904^ can be reacted with alkyne IVb in refluxing benzene to give pyrazole IVc, which can be elaborated further to pyrazole IVd as previously described. SCHEME IV Vc IVd Compounds of the invention where E is equal to thiazol-2-yl and oxazole-2-yl can also be prepared as shown in Scheme V. Cyclization of alcohols Va and Vb with the Burgess reagent to the corresponding thiazoline and oxazoline followed by oxidation with Mnθ2 or Niθ2 will furnish Vc and Vd (P. Wipf et al Tetrahedorn Letters, 1992, 33, 6267-6270). Similarly, aldehyde Ve can be converted to Vd with triphenylphoshine/iodine in the presence of triethylamine (P. Wipf et al Journal of Organic Chemistry 1993, 58, 3604-3603). SCHEME V Va Vc Vb Vd 2 Ve Although the claimed compounds are useful as thrombin or trypsin inhibitors, the preferred compounds of Formula I include: The particularly preferred "A"s are : 1 naphthylsulfonyl, 2-naphthylsulfonyl, substituted naphthylsuifonyls (where the substituents are selected from Cι- 4 alkyl, perfluoroC-ι- 4 alkyl, Cι- 4 alkoxy, hydroxy, halo, amido, nitro, amino, C-ι- 4 alkylamino, Cι- 4 dialkylamino, carboxy and C-ι- 4 alkoxycarbonyl); an L amino acid such as glycine or proline, where the amino terminus is unsubstituted or monosubstituted with a member of the group consisting of 1 naphthylsulfonyl, 2-naphthylsulfonyl and substituted naphthylsuifonyls (where the substituents are selected from C-ι- 4 alkyl, perfluoroCι- 4 alkyl, Cι- 4 alkoxy, hydroxy, halo, amido, nitro, amino, C-ι- 4 alkylamino, d- 4 dialkylamino, carboxy and C-ι- 4 alkoxycarbonyl), formyl, and phenylcarbonyl; or a poly peptide comprised of two amino acids, where the first acid is L- proline or L-pipecoiinic and the second acid is D-phenylaianine, D-cyclohexylalanine, D-diphenylaianine or (2,3,4,5,6- pentafluorophenyl)alanine where the amino terminus of said second amino acid is unsubstituted or monosubstituted with a member of the group consisting of Ci-salkyl perfluoroC-ι- 4 alkyl or formyl.

The compounds of the invention were tested for their ability to inhibit thrombin mediated hydrolysis. An in vitro enzyme assay was performed as well as an ex vivo assay. In addition, the compounds were tested in vitro for their ability to inhibit trypsin, as an indication of their selectivity. Thrombin-catalyzed hydrolysis rates were measured spectrophotometrically using commercial human alpha-thrombin (American Diagnostica), a chromogenic substrate (Spectozyme® TH (H-D-HHT-Ala- Arg-pNA*2AcOH), American Diagnostica) in aqueous buffer (10 mM Tris, 10 mM Hepes, 150 mM NaCI, 0.1% PEG; pH 7.4), and a microplate reader (Molecular Devices). Changes in absorbance at 405 nm were monitored (Softmax, Molecular Devices), upon addition of enzyme, both with and without inhibitor present at 37°C over 30 minutes. IC50S were determined by fixing the enzyme and substrate concentrations and varying the inhibitor concentration (1 nM thrombin, 50 μM Spectozyme® TH). Michaelis-Menton kinetics were applied to the initial reaction slopes. Inhibition constants (Ki) were determined by fixing the enzyme and inhibitor concentrations and varying the substrate concentration (1 nM thrombin, 5-100 μM Spectozyme® TH). Michaelis-Menton kinetics were applied to the initial reaction slopes using the program K*Cat (Bio Metallics Inc.). Trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis rates were measured using the same method as the thrombin procedure. Bovine type 1 trypsin (Sigma) and Spectrozyme ® TRY (Cbo-Gly-D-Ala-Arg-pNA » AcOH, American Diagnostics) replaced their thrombin equivalents in a concentration range of 3.2 U/ml trypsin and 0.1-0.3 mM Spectrozyme. The IC 50 for representative compounds are listed in Table A. Representative K;s are listed in place of the IC 50 value for selected compounds. N-Me PPACK aldehyde and argatroban were used as reference standards and their values are listed below. The compound numbers in the table correspond to the examples described hereinafter. An ex vivo assay was conducted to determine the duration of action of the compounds of Formula I. For this i.v. assay male rats (Long Evans, 350 -500 g) were implanted with a teflon cannulae via the femoral artery while under anesthesia (pentobarbital i.p., 35 mg/kg). After surgery, the animals were individually housed in standard cages, fed with rat chow (Hanlan, #8604) and continuously infused with physiological saline to maintain arterial patency, (0.5 mlJh, intra arterial) using a spring-shielded swivelling tether connected to an infusion system. The animals were allowed to recover for at least 24 h after the surgical procedure. A sample of blood was drawn from the animals 15 min before dosing with the inhibitor (0.25 mL blood is drawn into a syringe containing 0.025 mL of Sigma sodium citrate). The test compound was dispersed in water and delivered to the animal (0.25 mL) via the femoral vein. The inhibitor was given at a concentration (mg/mL) which produced 80% inhibition of V 0 in a plasma sample at 5 min after infusion. Blood was drawn from the arterial line (blood:sodium citrate, 0.25/0.025 mL ) at regular intervals after dosing (5, 10, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min) and placed in a centrifuge tube. A plasma sample was obtained by centrifuging the blood at 10,000 rpm for 5 min. This sample is analyzed for thrombin inhibition using the chromogenic assay, described below. The rate of increase in absorbance at 405 nm of synthetic peptides (50 μM Spectozyme® TH (H-D-HHT-Ala-Arg-pNA*2AcOH), American Diagnostica) is measured in the presence of plasma with a microplate reader (Molecular Devices) at 37 °C using an aqueous buffer (10 mM Tris, 10 mM Hepes, 150 mM NaCI, 0.1% PEG; pH 7.4). The buffer was added to the plasma samples (1 :1) dilution prior to delivery to the microplate (1 :5 and 1 :50 for final plasma dilutions of 1 :10 and 1 :100 respectively) followed by the enzyme (1 nM human α thrombin). Datum was collected over a 30 min period and the initial rate of substrate hydrolysis (Vn (mOD/min)) was calculated with an analysis program (Softmax, Molecular Devices). The time to half plasma elimination (t 1/2) was calculated from the slope of V 0 vs. time, using the following equation: 1 1/2 ==-1.6 slope. These datum are presented in Table A Bioavaiiability was determined by an ex vivo assay which incorporated hydrolysis rates from drug administered both i.v. and p.o. In this assay male rats were prepared as described above with a teflon tube implanted in their femoral artery. Blood was drawn from the animals 15 min before dosing with the inhibitor (0.25 mL blood was drawn into a syringe containing 0.025 mL of Sigma sodium citrate) and set aside for analysis. The test compound was dispersed in water (0.3-3.0 mg/mL final cone.) and delivered to the animals (0.25 mL) either i.v. or p.o.. Blood was drawn from the arterial line (blood:sodium citrate, 0.25/0.025 mL ) at regular intervals after dosing (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 h) and plasma was obtained by centrifuging the blood at 10,000 rpm for 5 min. This sample was analyzed for thrombin inhibition using the chromogenic assay, described below. The rate of increase in absorbance at 405 nm of synthetic peptides (50 μM Spectozyme® TH (H-D-HHT-Ala-Arg-pNA*2AcOH), American Diagnostica) was measured in the presence of plasma with a microplate reader (Molecular Devices) at 37 °C using an aqueous buffer (10 mM Tris, l O mM Hepes, 150 mM NaCI, 0.1 % PEG; pH 7.4). The buffer was added to the plasma samples (1 :1 ) dilution prior to delivery to the microplate (1 :5 and 1 :50 for final plasma dilutions of 1 :10 and 1 :100 respectively) followed by the enzyme (1 nM human α thrombin). Datum were collected over a 30 min period and the initial rate of substrate hydrolysis (Vo(mOD/min)) was calculated with an analysis program (Softmax, Molecular Devices). A standard curve was generated by adding of drug or vehicle (100 μL) to whole blood (900 μL) followed by incubating (5 min) and centrifuging to obtain plasma. The percentage of thrombin inhibition was calculated by comparing the Vo of the vehicle to that of the drug treated samples. Datum from several runs were normalized with a statistical package (SAS) to generate a standard curve. The percentage of thrombin inhibition in the treated animals was calculated by comparing the Vo prior to treatment with the Vo obtained from samples collected after treatment. The percent inhibition was applied to the standard curve (generated above) using the statistical package (SAS) and the quantity of drug in the sample was extrapolated. Bioavailability (Bioavail.) was calculated from the plots of the extrapolated drug in sample vs. time for both i.v. and p.o. administration using the following equation: %Bioavail. =(i.v. dose administered/p.o. dose administered) x (area under p.o. curve/area under curve i.v.) As indicated by Table A, the compounds of Formula I may be used in pharmaceutical compositions to treat patients (humans and other primates) with thrombotic disorders in a similar manner as known heparins and coumarins. The compounds can be administered by any parenteral route (intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, dermal patch), where the preferred route is intravenous infusion. Infusion doses can range from about 0.1-300 μg/kg/min of inhibitor, admixed with a pharmaceutical carrier over a period ranging from several minutes to several days. Selected compounds can also be administered by the oral route in doses ranging from about 1-100 mg/kg. The pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared using conventional pharmaceutical excipients and compounding techniques. Oral dosage forms may be elixers, syrups, capsules tablets and the like. Where the typical solid carrier is an inert substance such as lactose, starch, glucose, methyl cellulose, magnesium sterate, dicalcium phosphate, mannitol and the like; and typical liquid oral excipients include ethanol, glycerol, water and the like. All excipients may be mixed as needed with disinteg rants, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders and the like using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art of preparing dosage forms. Parenteral dosage forms may be prepared using water or another sterile carrier. Typically the compounds of Formula I are isolated and used as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Examples of such salts include hydrobromic, hydroiodic, hydrochloric, perchloric, sulfuric, maieic, fumaric, malic, tartatic, citric, benzoic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, hydroethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, oxalic, pamoic, 2- naphthalenesulfonic, p.-toluenesulfonic, cyclohexanesulfamic and saccharic. In addition to the treatment of thrombotic disorders, the compounds of Formula I may be used to prevent coagulation of stored blood samples and as coatings on medical devices such as stents and orthopedic devices. Generally they may be used in any circumstance where one seeks to inhibit coagulation by placing the compounds in contact with the medium containing thrombin. Those experienced in the use of anticoagulant agents, may find a variety of other uses for the thrombin inhibitors of this invention. These uses are considered to be within the scope of this invention, for this invention contemplates the use of compounds of Formula I as antithrombotic agents. Yet another use for the compounds of the invention is as trypsin inhibitors. Inhibitors of trypsin have been used clinically in the treatment of pancreatic disorders, such as pancreatitis. The IC50 values for the compounds of the invention compare favorably with the pancreatic agents camostat mesilate and nafamostat (IC50 s, 1 x 10-8 and 1.3 x 10-8 respectively). The compounds of Formula I may be used in the same manner as those therapeutic agents. In order to illustrate the invention the following examples are included. These examples do not limit the invention. They are only meant to suggest a method of practicing the invention. Those skilled in the art may find other methods of practicing the invention, which are obvious to them. However those methods are deemed to be within the scope of this invention.
