Description: Description SUBSTITUTED OXOAZAHETEROCYCLYL COMPOUNDS FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention is directed to oxoazaheterocyclyl compounds which inhibit Factor This invention is directed to oxoazaheterocyclyl compounds which inhibit Factor Xa, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, to intermediates useful for preparing these compounds and to a method of inhibiting Factor Xa. This invention is also directed to oxoazaheterocyclyl compounds which directly inhibit both Factor Xa and Factor Ila (thrombin), to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, to intermediates useful for preparing these compounds and to a method of simultaneously directly inhibiting both Factor Xa and Factor Ila (thrombin). BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Factor Xa and Factor Xa assembled in the prothrombinase complex (Factor Xa, Factor Va, calcium and phospholipid) activate prothrombin (Factor II) to generate thrombin (Factor Ila). Factor Xa is strategically located at the intersection of extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of the blood coagulation system. Thus, an inhibitor of Factor Xa inhibits the formation of thrombin and, therefore, is useful for preventing or treating disorders related to blood coagulation in mammals. Anticoagulant therapy is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of a variety of thrombotic conditions of both the venous and arterial vasculature. In the arterial system, abnormal thrombus formation is primarily associated with arteries of the coronary, cerebral and peripheral vasculature. The diseases associated with thrombotic occlusion of these vessels principally include acute myocardial infarction (AMI), unstable angina, thromboembolism, acute vessel closure associated with thrombolytic therapy and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), transient ischemic attacks, stroke, intermittent claudication and bypass grafting (CABG) of the coronary or peripheral arteries. Chronic anticoagulant therapy may also be beneficial in preventing the vessel luminal narrowing (restenosis) that often occurs following PTCA and CABG, and in the maintenance of vascular access patency in long-term hemodialysis patients. With respect to the venous vasculature, pathologic thrombus formation frequently occurs in the veins of the lower extremities following abdominal, knee and hip surgery (deep vein thrombosis, DVT). DVT further predisposes the patient to a higher risk of pulmonary thromboembolism. A systemic, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) commonly occurs in both vascular systems during septic shock, certain viral infections and cancer. This condition is characterized by a rapid consumption of coagulation factors and their plasma inhibitors resulting in the formation of life-threatening clots throughout the microvasculature of several organ systems. In addition to their use in anticoagulant therapy, Factor Xa inhibitors are useful in the treatment or prevention of other diseases in which the generation of thrombin has been implicated as playing a physiologic role. For example, thrombin has been proposed to contribute to the morbidity and mortality of such chronic and degenerative diseases as arthritis, cancer, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease by virtue of its ability to regulate many different cell types through specific cleavage and activation of a cell surface thrombin receptor, mitogenic effects, diverse cellular functions such as cell proliferation, for example, abnormal proliferation of vascular cells resulting in restenosis or angiogenesis, release of PDGF and DNA syntheses. Inhibition of Factor Xa will effectively block thrombin generation and therefore neutralize any physiologic effects of thrombin on various cell types. The representative indications discussed above include some, but not all, of the possible clinical situations amenable to treatment with a Factor Xa inhibitor. Oxoazaheterocyclyl Factor Xa inhibitors are disclosed in International Patent Application Numbers PCT/US98/07158, published Oct. 22, 1998; PCT/US98/07159, published Oct. 22, 1998; PCT/US98/07160, published Oct. 22, 1998; PCT/US98/07161 , published Oct. 22, 1998; and PCT/US96/09290, published Dec. 19, 1996. Oxoazaheterocyclyl fibrinogen antagonists are disclosed in International Patent Application Number PCT/US92/09467, published May 13, 1993. Vascular injury, caused by biochemical or physical perturbations, results in the activation of the coagulation system, culminating in the generation of thrombin. Thrombin promotes thrombus formation by catalyzing the transformation of fibrinogen to fibrin, by activating Coagulation Factor XIII, which stabilizes the thrombus, and by activating platelets. Thrombin promotes further thrombus growth by positive feedback to the coagulation cascade (activation of Coagulation Factors V and VIII), resulting in the explosive production of thrombin. Thrombin is present, and active, in the thrombi of patients with thrombotic vascular disease. Thrombin inhibition prevents the action of thrombin after thrombin has been activated from prothrombin. An inhibitor of thrombin inhibits cleavage of fibrinogen to fibrin, activation of Factor Xllla, activation of platelets, and feedback of thrombin to the coagulation cascade to generate more thrombin. Consequently, inhibition of thrombin activity with a direct thrombin inhibitor would be useful for preventing or treating disorders related to blood coagulation in mammals. The combined inhibitors of Factor Xa and Factor Ila described herein inhibit thrombin activity (via Ila inhibition) and thrombin production (via Factor Xa inhibition). Therefore, these agents inhibit any thrombin that may be present and also inhibit the further production of thrombin. Other agents which have this dual activity include heparin and low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs), which have demonstrated efficacy in thrombotic diseases. However, heparin and LMWHs act indirectly through a cofactor, antithrombin-lll (ATIII), to inhibit Xa and Ila. The heparin/ATIII complex is too large, however, to inhibit thrombus-bound Xa and Ila, thus limiting its efficacy. Direct inhibitors of Factor Xa and Factor Ila, as described herein, are capable of inhibiting soluble and thrombus-bound Xa and Ila, thus providing an important therapeutic advantage over currently available Xa/lla inhibitors.

Although pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said basic compounds are preferred, all acid addition salts are useful as sources of the free base form even if the particular salt, per se, is desired only as an intermediate product as, for example, when the salt is formed only for purposes of purification, and identification, or when it is used as intermediate in preparing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt by ion exchange procedures. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention are those derived from the following acids: mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and sulfamic acid; and organic acids such as acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malonic acid, methanesufonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, cyclohexylsulfamic acid, quinic acid, and the like. The corresponding acid addition salts comprise the following: hydrohalides, e.g. hydrochloride and hydrobromide, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, sulfamate, acetate, citrate, lactate, tartarate, malonate, oxalate, salicylate, propionate, succinate, fumarate, maleate, methylene-bis-β-hydroxynaphthoates, gentisates, mesylates, isethionates and di-p-toluoyltartratesmethanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, cyclohexylsulfamate and quinate, respectively. Acid addition salts of the compounds of this invention are prepared by reaction of the free base with the appropriate acid by the application or adaptation of known methods. For example, the acid addition salts of the compounds of this invention are prepared either by dissolving the free base in aqueous or aqueous-alcohol solution or other suitable solvents containing the appropriate acid and isolating the salt by evaporating the solution, or by reacting the free base and acid in an organic solvent, in which case the salt separates directly or can be obtained by concentration of the solution. The compounds of this invention can be regenerated from the acid addition salts by the application or adaptation of known methods. For example, parent compounds of the invention can be regenerated from their acid addition salts by treatment with an alkali, e.g. aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution or aqueous ammonia solution. Where the compound of the invention is substituted with an acidic moiety, base addition salts may be formed. The bases which can be used to prepare the base addition salts include preferably those which produce, when combined with the free acid, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, that is, salts whose cations are non-toxic to the animal organism in pharmaceutical doses of the salts, so that the beneficial effects inherent in the free acid are not vitiated by side effects ascribable to the cations. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts, including for example alkali and alkaline earth metal salts, within the scope of the invention are those derived from the following bases: sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, ammonia, trimethylammonia, triethylammonia, ethylenediamine, n-methylglucamine, lysine, arginine, ornithine, choline, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, diethanolamine, procaine, n-benzylphenethylamine, diethylamine, piperazine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, and the like. Metal salts of compounds of the present invention may be obtained by contacting a hydride, hydroxide, carbonate or similar reactive compound of the chosen metal in an aqueous or organic solvent with the free acid form of the compound. The aqueous solvent employed may be water or it may be a mixture of water with an organic solvent, preferably an alcohol such as methanol or ethanol, a ketone such as acetone, an aliphatic ether such as tetrahydrofuran, or an ester such as ethyl acetate. Such reactions are normally conducted at ambient temperature but they may, if desired, be conducted with heating. Amine salts of compounds of the present invention may be obtained by contacting an amine in an aqueous or organic solvent with the free acid form of the compound. Suitable aqueous solvents include water and mixtures of water with alcohols such as methanol or ethanol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, nitriles such as acetonitrile, or ketones such as acetone. Amino acid salts may be similarly prepared. The compounds of this invention can be regenerated from the base addition salts by the application or adaptation of known methods. For example, parent compounds of the invention can be regenerated from their base addition salts by treatment with an acid, e.g. hydrochloric acid. As well as being useful in themselves as active compounds, salts of compounds of the invention are useful for the purposes of purification of the compounds, for example by exploitation of the solubility differences between the salts and the parent compounds, side products and/or starting materials by techniques well known to those skilled in the art.

Preparation of the Compounds of the Invention A general route to the compounds of this invention wherein A is N and R,, R 1a , R 2 , R 2a , 3 , a a . R 4 . R a . L,, L 2 , Cy, , Cy 2 , m and n are defined for Formula I above is outlined in Scheme 1. Scheme 1 III r As outlined in Scheme 1 , coupling of a compound of formula III with a sulfonyl chloride, an alkyl halide, an acid or an activated derivative thereof, such as an acid anhydride or acid chloride, an isocyanate, chloroformate or activated sulfamoyl ester in an appropriate solvent, generates the compound of formula I in which the L,-Cy, portion is a sulfonamide, alkyl amine, amide, urea, carbamate or sulfamyl urea, respectively. Sulfonamide formation is accomplished with a base such as a trialkylamine in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, THF or acetonitrile at about 0 °C to about 100 °C in the presence or absence of an activating agent such as dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). Alkyl amine formation can be achieved with a suitable base such as K 2 CO 3 or trialkylamine in an appropriate solvent such as DMF or acetonitrile at about 0 °C to about 100 °C. Amide, urea, carbamate and sulfamyl urea formation can be conducted with acids and coupling reagents such as EDC or TBTU or with any variant of reactive acid derivatives and the use of an appropriate base additive such as triethylamine, N- methylmorpholine or diisopropylethylamine. The preparation of a compound of formula III wherein R,, R, a , R 2 , R 2a , R 3 , R 3a , R 4 , R 4a , L 2 , Cy 2 , m and n are as defined herein from formula 1 , is outlined in Scheme 2. Scheme 2 III' III As outlined in Scheme 2, a compound of formula III is prepared by removing a nitrogen protecting group P from the compound of formula III'. In a preferred aspect, P is an alkyl, aralkyl or aryl carbamate moiety, which is removed using strong acid, strong base or catalytic hydrogenation in an appropriate solvent such as methanol or ethanol. The preparation of a compound of formula III' wherein R,, R, a , R 2 , R 2a , R 3 , R 3a , R 4 , R 4a , L,, L 2 , Cy,, Cy 2 , m and n and P are defined herein is outlined in Scheme 3. Scheme 3 IV II P As indicated in Scheme 3, the compound of formula III' is obtained by coupling a compound of formula IV with an appropriate Cy 2 -L 2 -LG compound wherein LG is a leaving group, such as chloro, bromo, iodo, or optionally substituted lower alkylsulfonyloxy or arylsulfonyloxy, in an inert organic solvent, such as THF, Et 2 O or DMF, in the presence of a strong base such as NaH, lithium hexamethyldisilylazide or lithium diisopropylamine. In a preferred aspect, P is an alkyl, aralkyl or aryl carbamate group. The preparation of intermediate compounds of formula 7 and 10 is outlined in Scheme Scheme 4 Ar = monocyclic aryl or heteroaryl As indicated in Scheme 4, reacting a compound of formula 3 with an appropriate malonic acid in a polar , such as pyridine or ethanol, and a base, such as piperidine or pyridine, at reflux provides a compound of formula 4 wherein R is H. Alternatively, a compound of formula 3 may be reacted with a suitable Wittig or Horner-Emmons reagent in an inert solvent such as THF to give a compound of formula 4 wherein R is lower alkyl. When R is lower alkyl, the ester is hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acid (R is H) using an appropriate strong acid or alkali base. The corresponding acid is converted to the acid chloride using standard reagents such as thionyl chloride, or is converted to the mixed anhydride in a polar solvent, such as acetone or THF, to form an activated acyl compound. The activated acyl compound is then treated with a solution of NaN 3 in water at about -10 °C to about 25 °C to yield the corresponding acyl azide. The acyl azide compound is then heated slowly in an inert solvent such as benzene or toluene at about 60 °C to about 110 °C and then concentrated in vacuo and heated in a higher boiling inert solvent, such as 1 ,2-dichlorobenzene or phenyl ether, at about 180 °C to about 240 °C with a catalyst such as iodine or tributylamine to obtain a compound of formula 5. Alternatively the acyl azide compound can be added directly to a high boiling inert solvent, such as phenyl ether, at about 180 °C to about 240 °C with a catalyst such as iodine or tributylamine to obtain the compound of formula 5. A compound of formula 8, prepared as described in Syn., 739 (1975), the contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference, or a compound of formula 5 above, may be chlorinated using standard reagents such as POCI 3 or POCI 3 /PCI 5 and halogenated using standard conditions, such as N-halosuccinimide and benzoyl peroxide in an inert solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, to give the corresponding chloro-halomethyl compounds 6 and 9, respectively. Compounds of formula 6 or 9 are coupled to compounds of formula IV, in which R3 and R3a taken together form oxo, under basic condition employing NaH, or KOtBu or some other deprotonating base, to give compounds of formula 7 or 10. The preparation of aminoquinazoline, quinazolinone or amino-thienopyrimidine intermediates is outlined in Scheme 5. Scheme 5 As shown in Scheme 5, an aminoheteroaryl carboxylic acid or an aminoarylcarboxylic acid of formula 1 1 , in which the amino and carboxylic acid are ortho to each other, is treated with formamidine under heat to form the corresponding quinazolinone or thienopyrimidinone 12. The quinazolinone or thienopyrimidinone 12 is then converted to the chloroquinazoline or chlorothienopyrimidine using a chlorinating reagent such as P(O)CI 3 and heat. The chloroquinazoline or chlorothienopyrimidine is brominated at the benzylic carbon using radical bromination conditions. Alternatively, a chloroquinazoline or chlorothienopyrimidine, containing a hydroxy-methylene group is converted to the corresponding bromide using CBr 4 /PPh 3 ; or PBr 3 . The bromide 13 is then reacted with the anion of the ring nitrogen of a compound of formula III, formed using NaH, LiN(SiMe 3 ) 3 , NaN(SiMe 3 ) 3 , LDA, lithium alkoxide, sodium alkoxide or an appropriate base, in an inert solvent such as THF, DMF, ether, or DME. This yields compounds of formula 14 which contain a chloro-quinazoline or a chloro-thienopyrimidine group. The chloro group is converted to an amino group using NH 3 in ethanol in the presence of a catalytic amount of acid, such as HOAc to give compounds of formula 16. Alternatively, the chloro group is converted to a substituted amino group using a primary or secondary amine in an inert solvent. Alternatively, the chloro group is converted to a hydroxy group using acetic acid in water with heating or using a hydroxide source to give compounds of formula 15. Alternatively, the chloro is converted to an alkoxy group using an alcoholic solvent with heated in the presence of a base.

As shown in Scheme 6, an amino-aryl nitrile or an amino heteroaryl nitrile 17 is treated with an aldehyde or ketone under imine forming conditions. The corresponding aryl or heteroaryl imine is brominated using radical bromination with NBS. The bromide is then coupled with compounds of formula IV under basic conditions, such as NaH, LiN(SiMe 3 ) 3 , NaN(SiMe 3 ) 3 , LDA, lithium alkoxides, sodium alkoxides or an appropriate base, in an inert solvent, such as THF, DMF, ether, or DME. This yields compounds of formula 20 in which J før- CN is an imino-aryl nitrile or an imino heteroaryl nitrile. The imine is deprotected using an acid such as HCI to give the corresponding aniline. The aniline-aryl-nitrile or the aniline- heteroaryl nitrile 20, is converted to the amino-quinazoline or thienopyrimidine, formula 22 (in which R 20 =H), using triazine or formamidine. The quinazolinone or thienopyrimidinone, formula 21 , in which R 20 =H, is formed from a compound of formula 20 using formamide. Alternatively, compounds of formula 20 can be reacted under acid conditions, such as HCI (gas) in a solvent such as ethanol in the presence of a nitrile, to give compounds of formula 22 in which R 20 is alkyl, aryl or amino depending on the group attached to the nitrile. The preparation of cinnoline (X = N) and quinoline (X = CH) intermediates is outlined in Scheme 7. Scheme 7 As shown in Scheme 7, halogenated azaarenes 23, exemplified by 4-chloro-7- trifluoromethylquinoline or cinnoline, are treated with H 2 SO 4 (70 -95 %) at 180-220 °C for about 16 to 48 hours in a sealed reaction vessel. The solution is cooled, poured into water and neutralized with base to pH - 3-4. The product is dissolved in aqueous base and precipitated by acidification to yield 7-carboxy-4-chloroquinoline or cinnoline. This material is converted to the alkyl ester, such as methyl (24) or ethyl, by standard methods. 7-Alkyloxycarbonyl-4- chloroquinoline or cinnoline is dissolved in an anhydrous, aprotic solvent (THF or ether). The solution is cooled (-60 to -95 °C) and treated with a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride. The solution is warmed (to approximately -40 to -50 °C) for about 15 to 30 minutes and quenched with a solvent such as ethyl acetate. Standard workup gives the product 7- hydroxymethyl-4-chloroquinoline, or cinnoline (25). Material 25 is treated with 45-50 % HBr and heated to about 100-140 °C for about 45 to 90 minutes. After cooling and standard workup, 7- bromomethyl-4-chloroquinoline (or cinnoline) 26 is obtained. Alkylation as described before provides 4-chloroquinoline (or cinnoline) 27 followed by deprotection under the usual acidic conditions gives 4-chloroquinoline (or cinnoline) 28. The preparation of pyrrolopyridine derivatives is outlined in Scheme 8. Scheme 8 As indicated in Scheme 8, pyrrolopyridine derivatives are prepared by alkylation of a suitably protected oxopiperazine 33 with propargyl bromide in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride. The resulting alkyne 32 is heated (100-120 °C) with a halopyridine 31 , optionally substituted with hydroxy, alkoxycarbonylamino, or sulfhydryl, a catalyst, such as Pd(PPh 3 ) 2 CI 2 , copper iodide and triethylamine, in a suitable solvent, such as acetonitrile, in a sealed vessel or in DMF for 2-20 hours. When the pyridine is substituted with an alkoxycarbonylamino moiety, additional treatment with DBU at about 60 °C in DMF yields pyrrolopyridine 35. Subsequent carbamate deprotection using transfer hydrogenation conditions such as Pd black in formic acid yields the desired oxopiperazine pyrroloopyridines 34. After further reaction of 34 with the L,-Cy, group, an additional deprotection step such as Boc removal using, for example, TFA, HCI is required for generating the oxopiperazine pyrrolopyridines with L,-Cy, in place.

Treatment of intermediate 150 with p-toluenesulphonic acid provides the unsaturated ketopiperazine 151. Deprotective hydrogenation of intermediate 151 provides intermediate 152. Attatchment of the moiety G, provides intermediate 153. The acetal of the 4- substituted cyclohexanone is hydrolyzed under acetic conditions to provide intermediate 154. Reductive amination with the appropriate primary amine provides intermediate 156. Reductive amination of the cyclohexanone with the selected amines can be achieved using standard methods known to those skilled in the art using borohydrides such as sodium borohydride or lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride in an appropriate solvent such as methanol or acetic acid at temperatures between 0 and 100 °C. The isomeric cis/trans products of reductive amination can be separated by silica-gel chromatography or RP-HPLC. Intermediate 156 is reacted with diphenyl cyano-carbonimidate to provide intermediate 157. Intermediate 157 is reacted with appropriate primary and secondary amines to provide a compound of Formula 155. Scheme 39 General Methods for the preparation of 2-substituted-4&5-methylpyrimidyl- ketopiperazines of Formulas 158 & 159 are outlined in Scheme 40 below. As shown in scheme 40, a preferred method of preparation of compounds of formula 158 and 159 involves alkylating a ketopiperazine intermediate 160 containing a desired N-4 substituent (designated G-1) with either 4 or 5-halomethyl 2-thiomethylpyrimidine to provide intermediate 161. Oxidation of the thiomethyl group of intermediate 161 , to provide intermediate 162, followed by displacement with the appropriate amine or alkoxide affords compounds of Formula 158 or 159, respectively. Alkylation of the amide of intermediate 160 can be achieved using standard methods known to those skilled in the art such as deprotonation with NaH in DMF or t- butoxide in f-butanol at temperatures between -78 and 100°C followed by addition of the halide intermediate 165 and stirring at 0 to 100°C for 0.5 hours to 24 hours. Oxidation of the sulfide of intermediate 161 to the sufone of intermediate 162 can be accomplished in standard fashion, such as using oxone in a mixture of MeOH and H 2 O or m-CPBA in CH 2 CI 2 . Displacement of the sulfone of intermediate 162 with the appropriate amine can be acheived by simply stirring the components neat or in an unreactive solvent such as CH 2 CI 2 or DMF for 0.5 to 24 hours at 20 to 100°C. Similary, reaction of an alkoxide in an inert solvent leads to the desired displacement product. Scheme 40 The 4&5-halomethyl-2-methylthiopyrimidines intermediates 165 can be prepared as illustrated in scheme 41 from the corresponding 4&5-carboxaldehydes intermediate 163, respectively. 2-Methylthiopyrimidine-4-carboxaldehyde can be prepared using the procedure of Bredereck et al. (Chem. Ber. 1964, 3407). 2-Methylthiopyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde can be prepared by the procedure of Gupton et al. (d. Het. Chem. 28, 1991 , 1281 ). Scheme 41 163 164 165 Alternatively, as illustrated in scheme 42, compounds of formula 158 and 159 can be prepared by alkylating suitably protected [at N-4 (designated P)] ketopiperazine intermediate 166, with either the 4- or 5-halomethyl-2-methylthiopyrimidine (intermediate 165) to provide intermediate 167. The protecting group of intermediate 167 can then be removed to provide intermediate 168 and the desired G-1 substituent added to provide intermediate 169. Suitable protecting groups include Boc, Cbz, Alloc and Fmoc, which can be manipulated in the usual manner. Scheme 42 deprotection Diketopiperazine compounds of formula I, in which A is N, both R, and R, a taken together and R 2 and R 2a taken together are oxygen, are prepared in general as described in d. Org. Chem. 1998, 63, 4131 and Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1981 , 29, 684. The synthetic route used is outlined in Scheme 43 below. Scheme 43 As shown in Scheme 43 above, an aryl, heteroaryl or biaryl aldehyde or alkenyl aldehyde derivatives representative of Cy,-L, groups defined herein can be aminated with a suitably protected form of ethylenediamine using a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride. The secondary amine 171 is treated with an appropriate form of oxalyl chloride, notably methyl chlorooxoacetate, in the presence of base to form oxalamic ester intermediate 172. 2,3- Diketopiperazine 203 is formed by removal of the protecting group under acidic conditions (HCI or TFA) followed by cyclization under base conditions (TEA). Appropriate Cy 2 -L 2 groups can be appended to compounds of formula 173 by alkylation with a suitable aryl chloromethyl or bromomethyl ring system, such as a compound of formula 179 using NaH, LiN(SiMe 3 ) 3 , NaN(SiMe 3 ) 3 , LDA, or an appropriate base, in an inert solvent such as THF or DMF to provide compounds of formula 174 in which Cy 2 is a chloroquinazoline, chloroquinoline, aminoquinazoline or another group defined herein. Scheme 43A 172 As shown in Scheme 43 A above deprotection of oxalamic ester intermediate 172 under acidic conditions can also be used to isolate intermediate 172a (Scheme 43A) and followed directly by reductive amination conditions with aryl aldehydes to incorporate the respective Cy 2 - L 2 groups using a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride. Ring closure occurs under these conditions to provide the 2,3-diketopiperazines 174 in situ. Scheme 43B NHBoc H ,N ^-N^ 2 cy," cy^ 1 171 171 a Alternatively, the route shown above in Scheme 43B can be used by deprotecting the secondary amine 171 under acidic conditions (HCI or TFA) to diamine 171 a and followed directly by reductive amination with aryl aldehydes to incorporate the respective Cy 2 -L 2 groups using a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride. Diamine 171 b is then cyclized by reacting with dimethyl oxalate to provide 2,3-diketopiperazines 174. Scheme 43C OH NH, BocNH C0 2 H _ BocNH ^ J ~- BocNH. As shown in Scheme 43 C above substituted unsymmetrical ethylenediamine units can be employed by preparing from corresponding amino acids (Scheme 43C). Formation of the mixed anhydride from the acid moiety (iso-butyl chloroformate) followed by reduction (sodium borohydride) gives the respective amino alcohol intermediate. The alcohol moiety can be derivatized as the mesylate (methanesulfonyl chloride), converted to the azide (sodium azide) and reduced by hydrogen to generate the appropriately protected ethylenediamines. Scheme 44 178 179 As shown in Scheme 44, the quinazoline 179 can be prepared by reduction of the acid 175 with Super Hydride in THF to afford the alcohol 176. The alcohol 176 is then reacted in formamide at about 180°C to afford cyclised compound 177. The cyclised compound 177 is then converted to its chloro derivative 178, by reacting with POCI 3 . The chloro derivative 178 is then converted to the amino compound 179 by using NH 3 in ethanol or NH 4 OAc/PhOH.

Inhibition of Factor Xa The compounds described herein inhibit blood coagulation by virtue of their ability to inhibit the penultimate enzyme in the coagulation cascade, controlling the activity of Factor Xa. Both the activity of free Factor Xa and Factor Xa assembled in the prothrombinase complex (Factor Xa, Factor Va, calcium and phospholipid) are inhibited by compounds of formula 1. The inhibition of the Factor Xa activity is obtained by direct complex formation between the inhibitor and the enzyme and is therefore independent of the plasma co-factor antithrombin III. Effective inhibition of the Factor Xa activity is achieved by administering the compounds either by oral administration, continuous intravenous infusion, bolus intravenous administration or any other parenteral route such that it achieves the desired effect of preventing the activity of Factor Xa induced formation of thrombin from prothrombin. Anticoagulant therapy is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of a variety of thrombotic conditions of both the venous and arterial vasculature. In the arterial system, abnormal thrombus formation is primarily associated with arteries of the coronary, cerebral and peripheral vasculature. The diseases associated with thrombotic occlusion of these vessels principally include acute myocardial infarction (AMI), unstable angina, thromboembolism, acute vessel closure associated with thrombolytic therapy and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), transient ischemic attacks, stroke, intermittent claudication and bypass grafting of the coronary (CABG) or peripheral arteries. Chronic anticoagulant therapy may also be beneficial in preventing the vessel luminal narrowing (restenosis) that often occurs following PTCA and CABG, and in the maintenance of vascular access patency in long-term hemodialysis patients. With respect to the venous vasculature, pathologic thrombus formation frequently occurs in the veins of the lower extremities following abdominal, knee and hip surgery (deep vein thrombosis, PVT). PVT further predisposes the patient to a higher risk of pulmonary thromboembolism. A systemic, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (PIC) commonly occurs in both vascular systems during septic shock, certain viral infections and cancer. This condition is characterized by a rapid consumption of coagulation factors and their plasma inhibitors resulting in the formation of life-threatening thrombin throughout the microvasculature of several organ systems. The indications discussed above include some, but not all, of the possible clinical situations where anticoagulant therapy is warranted. Those experienced in this field are well aware of the circumstances requiring either acute or chronic prophylactic anticoagulant therapy. Accumulated experimental evidence has also reflected that prothrombin activation is only one of the biological activities of Factor Xa. EPR-1 (effector cell protease receptor-1 , recognizing Factor Xa), is believed to mediate several of the vascular wall interactions by Factor Xa. It has been shown to be expressed on human umbilical vein endothelial cells, rat smooth muscle cells and platelets(CR McKenzie, et al., Arterioscler Thromb Vase BioMδ 1285- 91 (1996); also F Bono, et al., J Cell Physiol 72 36-43 (1997), AC Nicholson, et al., J Biol Chem 271 28407-13 (1996),J.M. Herbert, et al., J Clin Invest 101993-1000 (1998)). This protease-receptor interaction could mediate not only prothrombinase-catalyzed thrombin generation, but also diverse cellular functions such as cell proliferation, release of PPGF and PNA syntheses. The mitogenic effect of Factor Xa has been reported to be dependent on Factor Xa enzymatic activity (F Bono, et al., J Cell PhysiolJ72 36-43 (1997), J.M. Herbert, et al., J Clin Invest 101 993-1000 (1998)). TAP for example inhibited the mitogenesis of human and rat cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (F Bono, et al., J Cell Physiol 172 36-43 (1997)). In a study of the rabbit carotid artery air-drying injury model, increased EPR-1 expression is detected after vascular injury. Animals treated with the specific Factor Xa inhibitor, PX-9065a, exhibited less neointimal proliferation. The important regulatory role of Factor Xa in the coagulation process coupled with its mitogenic effects points to Factor Xa's involvement in the formation of thrombin at the luminal surface of the vessel wall and contribution to the atherothrombotic process and abnormal proliferation of vascular cells resulting in restenosis or angiogenesis. These compounds may be used alone or in combination with other diagnostic, anticoagulant, antiplatelet or fibrinolytic agents. For example adjunctive administration of inhibitors of the activity of Factor Xa with standard heparin, low molecular weight heparin(s), synthetic pentasaccharides, direct thrombin inhibitors (e.g. hirudin, Agratroban (Novastan ® ), aspirin, fibrinogen receptor antagonists, statins / fibrates streptokinase, urokinase and/or tissue plasminogen activator. The compounds described herein may be administered to treat thrombotic complications in a variety of animals such as primates including humans. Inhibition of factor Xa is useful not only in the anticoagulant therapy of individuals having thrombotic conditions but is useful whenever inhibition of blood coagulation is required such as to prevent coagulation of stored whole blood and to prevent coagulation in other biological samples for testing or storage. Thus, any inhibitor of Factor Xa activity can be added to or contacted with any medium containing or suspected of containing Factor Xa and in which it is desired that blood coagulation be inhibited. In addition to their use in anticoagulant therapy, Factor Xa inhibitors may find utility in the treatment or prevention of other diseases in which the generation of thrombin has been implicated as playing a physiologic role. For example, thrombin has been proposed to contribute to the morbidity and mortality of such chronic and degenerative diseases as arthritis, cancer, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease by virtue of its ability to regulate many different cell types through specific cleavage and activation of a cell surface thrombin receptor, mitogenic effects, diverse cellular functions such as cell proliferation, for example, abnormal proliferation of vascular cells resulting in restenosis or angiogenesis, release of PDGF and DNA syntheses. Inhibition of Factor Xa will effectively block thrombin generation and therefore neutralize any physiologic effects of thrombin on various cell types. According to a further feature of the invention there is provided a method for the treatment of a human or animal patient suffering from, or subject to, a physiological condition which can be ameliorated by the administration of an inhibitor of the Factor Xa activity, for example conditions as hereinbefore described, which comprises the administration to the patient of a therapeutically effective amount of compound of formula I or formula II, or a composition containing a compound of formula I or formula II,. "Effective amount" is meant to describe an amount of compound of the present invention effective in inhibiting the activity of Factor Xa and thus producing the desired therapeutic effect. The present invention also includes within its scope pharmaceutical formulations which comprise at least one of the compounds of formula I or formula II in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or coating. The pharmaceutical compositions can be administered in a suitable formulation to humans and animals by topical or systemic administration, including oral, inhalational, rectal, nasal, buccal, sublingual, vaginal, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intradermal, intrathecal and epidural), intracisternal and intraperitoneal. It will be appreciated that the preferred route may vary with for example the condition of the recipient. The products according to the invention may be presented in forms permitting administration by the most suitable route and the invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one product according to the invention which are suitable for use in human or veterinary medicine. These compositions may be prepared according to the customary methods, using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants or excipients. The adjuvants comprise, inter alia, diluents, sterile aqueous media and the various non-toxic organic solvents. The compositions may be presented in the form of tablets, pills, granules, powders, aqueous solutions or suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs or syrups, and can contain one or more agents chosen from the group comprising sweeteners, flavorings, colorings, or stabilizers in order to obtain pharmaceutically acceptable preparations. The choice of vehicle and the content of active substance in the vehicle are generally determined in accordance with the solubility and chemical properties of the product, the particular mode of administration and the provisions to be observed in pharmaceutical practice. For example, excipients such as lactose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate and disintegrating agents such as starch, alginic acids and certain complex silicates combined with lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc may be used for preparing tablets. To prepare a capsule, it is advantageous to use lactose and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions are used they can contain emulsifying agents or agents which facilitate suspension. Piluents such as sucrose, ethanol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol and chloroform or mixtures thereof may also be used. For parenteral administration, emulsions, suspensions or solutions of the products according to the invention in vegetable oil, for example sesame oil, groundnut oil or olive oil, or aqueous-organic solutions such as water and propylene glycol, injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate, as well as sterile aqueous solutions of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are used. The solutions of the salts of the products according to the invention are especially useful for administration by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The aqueous solutions, also comprising solutions of the salts in pure distilled water, may be used for intravenous administration with the proviso that their pH is suitably adjusted, that they are judiciously buffered and rendered isotonic with a sufficient quantity of glucose or sodium chloride and that they are sterilized by heating, irradiation or microfiltration. Suitable compositions containing the compounds of the invention may be prepared by conventional means. For example, compounds of the invention may be dissolved or suspended in a suitable carrier for use in a nebulizer or a suspension or solution aerosol, or may be absorbed or adsorbed onto a suitable solid carrier for use in a dry powder inhaler. Solid compositions for rectal administration include suppositories formulated in accordance with known methods and containing at least one compound of formula I or formula II. Actual dosage levels of active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active compound(s) that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration. The selected dosage level will depend upon the activity of the particular compound, the route of administration, the severity of the condition being treated, and the condition and prior medical history of the patient being treated. However, it is within the skill of the art to start doses of the compound at levels lower than required for to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. In the adult, the doses are generally from about 0.01 to about 100, preferably about 0.01 to about 10, mg/kg body weight per day by inhalation, from about 0.01 to about 100, preferably 0.1 to 70, more especially 0.5 to 10, mg/kg body weight per day by oral administration, and from about 0.01 to about 50, preferably 0.01 to 10, mg/kg body weight per day by intravenous administration. In each particular case, the doses will be determined in accordance with the factors distinctive to the subject to be treated, such as age, weight, general state of health and other characteristics which can influence the efficacy of the medicinal product. The products according to the invention may be administered as frequently as necessary in order to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Some patients may respond rapidly to a higher or lower dose and may find much weaker maintenance doses adequate. For other patients, it may be necessary to have long-term treatments at the rate of 1 to 4 doses per day, in accordance with the physiological requirements of each particular patient. Generally, the active product may be administered orally 1 to 4 times per day. It goes without saying that, for other patients, it will be necessary to prescribe not more than one or two doses per day. Compounds within the scope of the present invention exhibit marked pharmacological activities according to tests described in the literature which tests results are believed to correlate to pharmacological activity in humans and other mammals. The following pharmacological test results are typical characteristics of compounds of the present invention. Enzyme Assays: The ability of the compounds in the present invention to act as inhibitors of factor Xa, thrombin, trypsin, tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA), urokinase-plasminogen activator (u-PA), plasmin and activated protein C is evaluated by determining the concentration of inhibitor which resulted in a 50% loss in enzyme activity (IC50) using purified enzymes. All enzyme assays are carried out at room temperature in 96-well microtiter plates using a final enzyme concentration of 1 nM. The concentrations of factor Xa and thrombin are determined by active site titration and the concentrations of all other enzymes are based on the protein concentration supplied by the manufacturer. Compounds according to the invention are dissolved in PMSO, diluted with their respective buffers and assayed at a maximal final PMSO concentration of 1.25%. Compound dilutions are added to wells containing buffer and enzyme and pre-equilibrated for between 5 and 30 minutes. The enzyme reactions are initiated by the addition of substrate and the color developed from the hydrolysis of the peptide-p-nitroanilide substrates is monitored continuously for 5 minutes at 405 nm on a Vmax microplate reader (Molecular Pevices). Under these conditions, less than 10% of the substrate is utilized in all assays. The initial velocities measured are used to calculate the amount of inhibitor which resulted in a 50% reduction of the control velocity (IC50). The apparent Ki values are then determined according to the Cheng-Prusoff equation (IC50 = Ki [1+[S]/Km]) assuming competitive inhibition kinetics. An additional in vitro assay may be used to evaluate the potency of compounds according to the invention in normal human plasma. The activated partial thromboplastin time is a plasma-based clotting assay that relies on the in situ generation of factor Xa, its assembly into the prothrombinase complex and the subsequent generation of thrombin and fibrin which ultimately yields the formation of a clot as the assay endpoint. This assay is currently used clinically to monitor the ex vivo effects of the commonly used anticoagulant drug heparin as well as direct acting antithrombin agents undergoing clinical evaluation. Therefore, activity in this in vitro assay is considered as a surrogate marker for in vivo anticoagulant activity. Human Plasma Based Clotting Assay: Activated partial thromboplastin clotting times are determined in duplicate on a MLA Electra 800 instrument. A volume of 100 ml of citrated normal human pooled plasma (George King Biomedical) is added to a cuvette containing 100 ml of a compound according to the invention in Tris/NaCI buffer (pH 7.5) and placed in the instrument. Following a 3 minute warming period the instrument automatically adds 100 ml of activated cephaloplastin reagent (Actin, Pade) followed by 100 ml of 0.035 M CaCl2 to initiate the clotting reaction. Clot formation is determined spectrophotometrically and measured in seconds. Compound potency is quantitated as the concentration required to double a control clotting time measured with human plasma in the absence of the compound according to the invention. A compound according to the invention may also be evaluated for their in vivo antithrombotic efficacy in two well established animal experimental models of acute vascular thrombosis. A rabbit model of jugular vein thrombosis and a rat model of carotid artery thrombosis are used to demonstrate the antithrombotic activity of these compounds in distinct animal model paradigms of human venous thrombosis and arterial thrombosis, respectively. Experimental Plazma Protein Binding Assay Compounds are dissolved into PMSO to prepare a 10 mM stock. Serial dilutions of compounds are made in a buffer containing 0.05M Tris, 0.15M NaCl, 0.1% PEG-8000, PH 7.5. Human FXa and the substrate, Spectrozyme FXa, are prepared in the aforementioned buffer containing human Albumin and fibrinogen at 3.45 mg/ml and 2.3 mg/ml, respectively. The FXa assay is carried out at room temperature in the 96-well microtiter plates with a final enzyme concentration and substrate concentration of 1nM and 200 μM, respectively. Compound dilutions are added to the wells containing buffer and FXa and preincubated for 30 minutes. The enzyme reactions are initiated by the addition of substrate, Spectrozyme FXa, and the color developed from the release of p-nitroanilide from each chromogenic substrate is monitored continuously for 5 minutes at 405 nm on a Thermomax microtiter plate reader(Molecular Pevices, Sunnyvale, CA.). In the final reaction mixture, the concentration of albumin and fibeinogen is 3mg/ml and 2 mg/ml, respectively. Under the experimental conditions, less than 10% of the substrate is consumed in all assays. The initial velocities measured are used to determine the amount of inhibitor required to diminish 50% of the control velocity and defined as IC S0 of the inhibitor. Assuming the kinetic mechanisms are competitive inhibition, the apparent Ki values are then calculated according to the Cheng-Prusoff equation , Ki = IC 50 (1 + [SjVKm) Experimental In Vivo Rabbit Venous Thrombosis Model: This is a well characterized model of fibrin rich venous thrombosis that is validated in the literature and shown to be sensitive to several anticoagulant drugs including heparin (Antithrombotic Effect of Recombinant Truncated Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI 1-161) in Experimental Venous Thrombosis-a Comparison with Low Molecular Weight Heparin, J. Hoist, B. Lindblad, P. Bergqvist, O. Nordfang, P.B. Ostergaard, J.G.L. Petersen, G. Nielsen and U. Hedner. Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 71, 214-219 (1994). The purpose of utilizing this model is to evaluate the ability of compounds to prevent the formation of venous thrombi (clots) in vivo generated at a site of injury and partial stasis in the jugular vein. Male and female New Zealand white rabbits weighing 1.5-2 kg are anesthetized with 35 mg/kg of ketamine and 5 mg/kg xylazine in a volume of 1 ml/kg (i.m.). The right jugular vein is cannulated for infusion of anesthetic (ketamine/xylazine 17/2.5 mg/kg/hr at a rate of approximately 0.5 ml/hr) and administration of test substances. The right carotid artery is cannulated for recording arterial blood pressure and collecting blood samples. Body temperature is maintained at 39°C with a GAYMAR T-PUMP. The left external jugular vein is isolated and all side branches along an exposed 2-3 cm of vessel are tied off. The internal jugular vein is cannulated, just above the bifurcation of the common jugular, and the tip of the cannula is advanced just proximal to the common jugular vein. A 1 cm segment of the vein is isolated with non-traumatic vascular clamps and a relative stenosis is formed by tying a ligature around the vein with an 18G needle just below the distal most clamp. This creates a region of reduced flow and partial stasis at the injury site. The isolated segment is gently rinsed with saline 2-3 times via the cannula in the internal jugular. Thereafter the isolated segment is filled with 0.5 ml of 0.5% polyoxyethylene ether (W-1) for 5 minutes. W-1 is a detergent which disrupts the endothelial cell lining of the segment, thus providing a thrombogenic surface for initiating clot formation. After 5 minutes the W-1 is withdrawn from the segment, and the segment is again gently rinsed with saline 2-3 times. The vascular clamps are then removed, restoring blood flow through this portion of the vessel. Clot formation is allowed to form and grow for 30 minutes after which the vein is cut just below the stenotic ligature and inspected for blood flow (the absence of blood flow is recorded as complete occlusion). The entire isolated segment of vein is then ligated and the formed clot is removed and weighed (wet weight). The effect of test agents on final clot weights is used as the primary end point. Animals are maintained for an additional thirty minutes to obtain a final pharmacodynamic measure of anticoagulation. Prug administration is initiated 15 minutes prior to vascular injury with W-1 and continued through the period of clot formation and maturation. Three blood samples (3 ml ea.) are obtained for evaluation of hemostatic parameters: one just prior to administration of W-1 ; a second 30 minutes after removal of the vascular clamps and a third at the termination of the experiment. Antithrombotic efficacy is expressed as a reduction in the final clot weight in preparations treated with a compound according to the invention relative to vehicle treated control animals. Experimental In Vivo Rat Arterial Thrombosis Model: The antithrombotic efficacy of factor Xa inhibitors against platelet-rich arterial thrombosis may be evaluated using a well characterized rat carotid artery FeCl2-induced thrombosis model (Superior Activity of a Thromboxane Receptor Antagonist as Compared with Aspirin in Rat Models of Arterial and Venous Thrombosis, W.A. Schumacher, OL. Heran, T.E. Steinbacher, S. Youssef and M.L. Ogletree. Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 22, 526-533 (1993); Rat Model of Arterial Thrombosis Induced by Ferric Chloride, K.P. Kurtz, B.W. Main, and G.E. Sandusky. Thrombosis Research, 60, 269-280 (1990); The Effect of Thrombin Inhibition in a Rat Arterial Thrombosis Model, R.J. Broersma, L.W. Kutcher and E.F. Heminger. Thrombosis Research 64, 405-412 (1991). This model is widely used to evaluate the antithrombotic potential of a variety of agents including heparin and the direct acting thrombin inhibitors. Sprague Pawley rats weighing 375-450 g are anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/kg i.p.). Upon reaching an acceptable level of anesthesia, the ventral surface of the neck is shaved and prepared for aseptic surgery. Electrocardiogram electrodes are connected and lead II is monitored throughout the experiment. The right femoral vein and artery are cannulated with PE-50 tubing for administration of a compound according to the invention and for obtaining blood samples and monitoring blood pressure, respectively. A midline incision is made in the ventral surface of the neck. The trachea is exposed and intubated with PE-240 tubing to ensure airway patency. The right carotid artery is isolated and two 4-0 silk sutures are placed around the vessel to facilitate instrumentation. An electromagnetic flow probe (0.95-1.0 mm lumen) is placed around the vessel to measure blood flow. Pistal to the probe a 4x4 mm strip of parafilm is placed under the vessel to isolate it from the surrounding muscle bed. After baseline flow measurements are made, a 2x5 mm strip of filter paper previously saturated in 35% FeCl2 is placed on top of the vessel downstream from the probe for ten minutes and then removed. The FeCl2 is thought to diffuse into the underlying segment of artery and cause deendothelialization resulting in acute thrombus formation. Following application of the FeCl2- soaked filter paper, blood pressure, carotid artery blood flow and heart rate are monitored for an observation period of 60 minutes. Following occlusion of the vessel (defined as the attainment of zero blood flow), or 60 minutes after filter paper application if patency is maintained, the artery is ligated proximal and distal to the area of injury and the vessel is excised. The thrombus is removed and weighed immediately and recorded as the primary end point of the study. Following surgical instrumentation a control blood sample (B1) is drawn. All blood samples are collected from the arterial catheter and mixed with sodium citrate to prevent clotting. After each blood sample, the catheter is flushed with 0.5 ml of 0.9% saline. A compound according to the invention is administered intravenously (i.v.) starting 5 minutes prior to FeCl2 application. The time between FeCl2 application and the time at which carotid blood flow reached zero is recorded as time to occlusion (TTO). For vessels that did not occlude within 60 minutes, TTO is assigned a value of 60 minutes. Five minutes after application of FeCl2, a second blood sample is drawn (B2). After 10 minutes of FeCl2 exposure, the filter paper is removed from the vessel and the animal is monitored for the remainder of the experiment. Upon reaching zero blood flow blood a third blood sample is drawn (B3) and the clot is removed and weighed. Template bleeding time measurements are performed on the forelimb toe pads at the same time that blood samples are obtained. Coagulation profiles consisting of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) are performed on all blood samples. In some instances a compound according to the invention may be administered orally. Rats are restrained manually using standard techniques and compounds are administered by intragastric gavage using a 18 gauge curved dosing needle (volume of 5 ml/kg). Fifteen minutes after intragastric dosing, the animal is anesthetized and instrumented as described previously. Experiments are then performed according to the protocol described above. Experimental Canine intravenous and intragastric dosing experiments. Beagle dogs (9-13 kg) of either sex are used to evaluate the pharmacodynamic effect of compounds of this invention after intravenous and intragastric dosing. Blood samples for these experiments are obtained via venipuncture of the cephalic vein. After discarding the first 0.5 ml of blood drawn, the control sample of 4.5 ml of blood is drawn into chilled plastic syringes containing 0.5 ml of trisodium citrate. After drug administration, 0.9 ml of blood is obtained at each time point (after discarding the first 0.5 ml of blood) by drawing the sample directly into chilled plastic syringes containing 0.1 ml trisodium citrate. For the intravenous experiments, compounds are administered in the cephalic vein in the forelimb contralateral to that used for blood sampling. Compounds are dissolved in saline (0.5 ml/kg body weight) and administered as an i.v. bolus. Post-dosing blood samples are obtained at specific time points after dosing. For the intragastric experiments, Compounds (in 0.5% methyl cellulose and 1 % polysorbate-80, 1 ml/kg dosing volume) are administered via an intragastric feeding tube. A pre-dosing control blood sample is obtained as above and post-dosing samples are obtained at specific time points after dosing. Coagulation times. Platelet-poor plasma is used for determination of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT), which are measured using a ® Microsample Coagulation Analyzer (MCA210, Bio Pata Corp, Horsham, PA) and Pade ® ----- reagents (Thromboplastin-C Plus and Actin FS Activated PTT reagent, Baxter Piagnostics, Inc., Peerfield, IL). Ex vivo inhibition of Factor Xa. Factor-Xa inhibitory activity is analyzed by chromogenic methods using reagents (bovine factor Xa and spectrozyme Xa) supplied by American Piagnostica (Greenwich, CT). The rate of change of optical density (Vmax, 405 nm) is measured using a SPECTRAmax microtiter plate spectrophotometer and Softmax Pro software (Molecular Pevices Corp., Sunnyvale, CA). Inhibition of Xa activity is determined as follows: percent inhibition of Xa activity = 1-(Vmax of sample with inhibitor/Vmax of the pre-drug control sample) X 100.
