Accordingly, the term &#34;halo-substituted phenyl&#34; refers to a phenyl moiety substituted with one or more fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo atoms. Similarly, the term &#34;trihalomethyl&#34; refers to radicals such as trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, tribromomethyl and triiodomethyl. 
     The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention are acid addition salts derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, phosphoric, phosphorous, nitric, sulfuric, hydrobromic, hydriodic acid and the like. Additionally, such salts may be derived from organic acids such as aliphatic mono and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxyalkanoic and alkandioic acids, for example. Therefore, such pharmaceutically acceptable salts include sulfate, bisulfate, chloride, bromide, iodide, fluoride, nitrate, phosphate, acetate, formate, propionate, caprate, fumarate, maleate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, hydroxybenzoate, phthalate, benzenesulfonate, phenylacetate, phenylpropionate, citrate, malate, tartrate, and the like. Salts from inorganic acids are preferred, particularly the hydrochloride salt. 
     Preferred compounds of the present invention are those compounds of formula I wherein R 1  is ##STR5## wherein R 7  is C 1  -C 14  alkyl or --(CH 2 ) n  Z, where n and Z are as defined above; R 2  is hydrogen, phenyl or naphthyl; and R 3 , R 4  and R 5  are hydrogen or C 1  -C 4  alkyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Of the above group of preferred compounds, those compounds which are particularly preferred are those wherein R 7  is C 3  -C 10  alkyl or, when R 7  is --(CH 2 ) n  Z, n is 1 or 2 and Z is phenyl; and R 2  is hydrogen or phenyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Of the above group of particularly preferred compounds, those compounds which are most particularly preferred are those wherein R 7  is C 4  -C 7  alkyl and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. 
     The compounds of the present invention are readily prepared by known methodologies using starting materials which are either commercially available or otherwise prepared by conventional techniques. For example, the compounds of formula 1 wherein R 3  is hydrogen (i.e., the β-substituted propanamines) may be prepared by condensing an R 1  -substituted aldehyde of the formula 
     
         R.sup.1 --CHO                                              (II) 
    
     with an appropriate R 2  -substituted nitrile of the formula 
     
         R.sup.2 --CH.sub.2 --CN                                    (III) 
    
     to form an intermediate nitrile of the formula ##STR6## where the values for R 1  and R 2  are as defined in formula I, above. The reaction between the above-aldehyde and nitrile is usually performed in equimolar amounts although ratios other than equimolar are completely operative. Said reaction is carried out in an inert organic solvent, preferably an alcoholic solvent such as methanol in the presence of base. The base employed may be inorganic or organic in nature and is preferably an alkali metal hydroxide. The reaction mixture is typically stirred and the temperature maintained anywhere from about ambient temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent for a time sufficient to effect formation of said intermediate nitrile (IV). The skilled artisan will readily appreciate that at temperatures in excess of ambient, the amount of time required to form said intermediate will likely be reduced, although stirring at room temperature for about eight to twelve hours is totally operative. Upon completion of the reaction and the addition of water, the resultant solid intermediate nitrile IV is collected, washed and reduced to the primary amine (i.e., those compounds of formula I wherein R 4  and R 5  are is hydrogen). The reduction is effected as by the catalytic action of platinum, palladium or preferably Raney nickel in a hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of anhydrous ammonia. The solvent used is a nonreactive solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or an alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol. The reaction is carried out at elevated temperatures of from about 50° to about 200° centigrade (C) and pressures of from about 50 to about 2000 pounds per square inch (psi). The reaction is allowed to continue for a time sufficient to allow substantial completion of the reaction, typically from about 5 to about 15 hours. Such reaction conditions are completely operative but should not be construed as being the exclusive means of reducing the intermediate nitrile IV, the reduction itself being conventional in the art. Isolation and work-up of the resultant product is similarly conventional, for example, by removal of the catalyst and solvent, resuspension and filtration through magnesia-silica gel and subsequent recrystallization from an appropriate organic solvent as needed. 
     Those compounds of formula I wherein R 4  and R 5  are other than hydrogen (R 3  =hydrogen) are conveniently prepared by catalytically reducing the intermediate nitrile (IV) as described above in the presence of an amine of the formula 
     
         NHR.sup.4 R.sup.5                                          (V) 
    
     wherein R 4  and R 5  are as defined for formula I, above rather than anhydrous ammonia. Subsequent reaction conditions and work-up are substantially the same as described above and render the desired amine. 
     Those compounds of formula I wherein R 2  is hydrogen (i.e., the α-substituted propanamines) are readily prepared by the reductive amination of a ketone of the formula ##STR7## wherein R 1  and R 3  are as defined in formula I, above. Said ketones are either commercially available or may be prepared as described hereinafter. The reductive amination is similarly accomplished by conventional methodology as by the treatment of said ketone with the appropriately substituted amine of the formula 
     
         NHR.sup.4 R.sup.5                                          (VII) 
    
     (where R 4  and R 5  are as defined in formula I, above) in a nonreactive solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or preferably an alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol. The reduction is effected by the catalytic action of a platinum or palladium catalyst in a hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of the amine (VII). The reaction is carried out at elevated temperatures of from about 50° C. to about 200° C. and at pressures of from about 50 to about 2000 psi. Work-up of the desired product is similarly conventional as will be described hereinafter. The skilled artisan will appreciate that when the value R 1  in ketone VI is ##STR8## and R 7  is C 1  -C 14  alkyl or C 3  -C 6  cycloalkyl, alkylation of the phenoxy ketone may be effected either prior to or after the reductive amination utilizing potassium t-butoxide and the appropriate alkyl halide or tosylate under conventional alkylation conditions as described hereinafter. 
     Compounds of formula which are α, β-substituted are prepared by the condensation of a R 1  -containing aldehyde as defined by formula II with an R 2 , R 3  -substituted ketone according to the following reaction scheme: ##STR9## where each of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4  and R 5  are as defined in formula I, above. Approximately equimolar amounts of the aldehyde and ketone are added to a nonreactive organic solvent, preferably toluene, in the presence of a minor amount of a catalyst such as piperidine. The reaction mixture is heated at reflux temperature for a time sufficient to effect condensation, typically from about 4 to about 12 hours. Reductive amination of the resulting ketone is achieved as described previously with the appropriately substituted ketone of formula VII to render the desired α, β-substituted compounds of formula I.

     As previously mentioned, the compounds of the present invention are anticoagulant agents, antifungal agents, or both. Anticoagulant agents find utility in the treatment of, for example, venous thrombosis and thromboembolic disease, arterial thrombosis and thromboembolic disease, myocardial infarctions, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular disease, thrombotic occlusions during and subsequent to thrombolytic therapy or angioplastic therapy and, in general, any other such conditions for which anticoagulant therapy is indicated. Such conditions include but are not limited to, thrombotic complications of other diseases, for example, cancer, tumor metastasis, diabetes, chronic inflammation, sepsis, shock and other conditions where preventative or prophylactic anticoagulant effects are desired. Additionally, compounds of the present invention act as antithrombotic agents. For these purposes, an effective anticoagulant amount of a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered to a patient in need thereof. By &#34;effective anticoagulant amount&#34; is meant that quantity of one or more compounds of the present invention (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or salts thereof) sufficient to alleviate the condition for which it is being administered. Typically, this amount will range from about 0.5 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) per day to about 100 mg/kg per day in singe or divided doses. Preferably, this amount will range from about 0.5 mg/kg per day to about 25 mg/kg per day. 
     Similarly, as antifungal agents an effective antifungal amount of a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered to a patient in need thereof. By &#34;effective antifungal amount&#34; is meant that quantity of one or more compounds of the present invention (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or salts thereof) sufficient to alleviate the condition for which it is being administered. Typically, this amount will range from about 0.5 mg/kg per day to about 100 mg/kg per day in single or divided doses. Preferably, this amount will range from about 0.5 mg/kg per day to about 25 mg/kg per day. However, it will be understood that the amount of the compound to be administered either as an anticoagulant or antifungal agent will be determined by a physician in light of the relevant circumstances including the condition being treated, the age, weight and response of the patient, the route of administration and the like. Accordingly, the above dosage ranges are not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention in any way. 
     The compounds of the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are administered via anticoagulant or antifungal pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions contain, in admixture with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, sufficient amounts of one or more of the compounds of the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof to deliver an effective anticoagulant or antifungal amount of said compound(s) to a patient for whom such therapy is administered. The choice of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers will be dictated by the route of administration selected. For example, preferably said compounds are administered orally as by means of tablets, capsules, powders, suspensions, solutions, syrups and the like, including sustained release preparations thereof. Accordingly, such compositions utilize pharmaceutically acceptable carriers containing materials such as diluents, binders, lubricants, disintegrators, buffering agents, surfactants, emulsifying agents, dispersants, flavoring agents and the like. Further, dosage forms for parenteral administration can also be prepared by suspending or dissolving a quantity of a compound of the present invention (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) in a non-toxic liquid pharmaceutically acceptable carrier suitable for injection such as an aqueous or oleaginous medium and sterilizing the suspension or solution. Alternatively, a measured amount of said compound may be placed in a vial and the vial and its contents sterilized and sealed. An accompanying vial may then be provided which contains the carrier for purposes of mixing prior to administration. Such parenteral compositions employ pharmaceutically acceptable carriers such as water for injection, bacteriostatic water for injection, sesame oil, groundnut oil, aqueous propylene glycol, N,N&#39;-dimethylformamide, and the like. Other appropriate pharmaceutical compositions may be readily prepared by the skilled artisan depending on the specific route of administration selected. Further information pertinent to the preparation of such compositions may be obtained by reference to standard treatises such as Remington&#39;s Pharmaceutical Sciences, Seventeenth Edition, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. (1985), which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     The anticoagulant activity of the compounds of the present invention was demonstrated by a prothrombin time test which was measured as a function of thromboplastin clotting time in human plasma. Briefly, to 0.1 ml of each of human plasma, normal saline and thromboplastin was added 0.03 ml of the test compound of the present invention (2 mg/ml in 50 percent methanol). The clotting time was measured at 37° C. with a Fibrometer. The results of this study are shown in Table I.

     The compound of Example 3 when tested at a concentration of 139, 69, 28 and 0 micrograms per ml exhibited prothrombin times of 80, 25, 16 and 15 seconds, respectively. The compound of Example 21 is insoluble in methanol and therefore a prothrombin time was not determined. 
     As noted previously, some of the compounds of the present invention also exhibit in vitro antifungal activity. The antifungal activity was assayed in vitro against Candida abicans A26, Trichophyton mentagrophytes CDC27, and Aspergillus flavus M152. The inocula, previously frozen under liquid nitrogen in a lactose, glycerol and water solution, were standardized by counting spores with a hemocytometer. Final concentrations (C. albicans, 1×10 5  cells/m; T. mentagrophytes, 1×10 6  cells/ml; A. flavus, 1×10 5  cells/ml) in RPMI 1640 plus 10% fetal calf serum were added to each of the 96 wells of a microtiter plate (100 μl/well). The compounds to be tested were solubilized in either water or ethanol and added to the microtiter wells in serial dilutions to give final concentrations in the range 0.039-20 μg/ml. The plates were incubated at 35° C. for 48 hours. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined as the highest dilution showing 95-100% inhibition of growth. The results of this study are shown in Table 2.
