Claim:
A method of treating a patient suffering from one or more conditions selected from the group consisting of coronary thrombosis, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, thromboembolism, acute vessel closure, transient ischemic attacks, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, peripheral arterial occlusion, and restenosis, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I): wherein: R 1 represents hydrogen, —C 1-6 alkyl, —C 3-6 alkenyl, —C 2-3 alkylNR b R c , —C 2-3 alkylNHCOR b , phenyl being optionally substituted by halogen, or R 1 represents a group X—W, wherein X represents —C 1-3 alkylene- and W represents —CN, —CO 2 H, —CONR b R c , —COC 1-6 alkyl, —CO 2 C 1-6 alkyl, or phenyl, the phenyl being optionally substituted by one or more substitutents selected from: —C 1-3 alkyl, —C 1-3 alkoxy, —C 1-3 alkylOH, halogen, —CN, —CF 3 , —NH 2 , —CO 2 H and —OH; R 2 and R 3 independently represent hydrogen, —C 1-3 alkyl or —CF 3 with the proviso that one of R 2 and R 3 is —C 1-3 alkyl or —CF 3 and the other is hydrogen; R b and R c independently represent hydrogen or —C 1-3 alkyl; A represents: Z represents one or two optional substituents independently selected from halogen and OH, B represents one or more optional substituents on ring carbon atoms selected from: (i) one or more substituents selected from —CF 3 , —F, —CO 2 H, —C 1-6 alkyl, —C 1-6 alkylOH, —(C 1-3 alkyl)NR b R c , —(C 0-3 alkyl)CONR b R c and —(C 0-3 alkyl)CO 2 C 1-3 alkyl, —CONHC 2-3 alkylOH, —CH 2 NHC 2-3 alkylOH, —CH 2 OC 1-3 alkyl and —CH 2 SO 2 C 1-3 alkyl; (ii) a group —Y—R e , Y represents —C 1-3 alkylene-, —CO—, —C 1-3 alkylNH—, —C 1-3 alkylNHCO—, —C 1-3 alkylNHSO 2 —, —CH 2 NHSO 2 CH 2 — or a direct link, R e represents phenyl, a 5- or 6-membered cycloalkyl or a 5- or 6-membered heterocycle consisting of at least one heteroatom selected from O or S, each of which is optionally substituted by one or more substituents selected from: —C 1-3 alkyl, —C 1-3 alkoxy, —C 1-3 alkylOH, halogen, —CN, —CF 3 , —NH 2 , —CO 2 H and —OH; or (iii) a second ring R f which is fused to the heterocyclic ring, wherein R f represents phenyl, a 5- or 6-membered cycloalkyl group or a 5- or 6-membered aromatic heterocyclic group consisting of at least one heteroatom selected from O, N or S, and the fused bicyclic group is optionally substituted by one or more substituents selected from: —C 1-3 alkyl, —C 1-3 alkoxy, —C 1-3 alkylOH, halogen, —CN, —CF 3 , —NH 2 , —CO 2 H and —OH; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
