SSR182289A, a selective and potent orally active thrombin inhibitor
2004
SSR182289A 1 is the result of a rational optimisation process leading to an orally active thrombin inhibitor. The struc- ture incorporates an original 2-(acetylamino)-(1,1 0 -biphenyl)-3-sulfonyl N-terminal motif, a central l-Arg surrogate carrying a weakly basic 3-amino-pyridine, and an unusual 4-difluoropiperidine at the C-terminus. Its synthesis is convergent and palladium catalysis has been employed for the construction of the key C-C bonds: Suzuki coupling for the bis-aryl fragment and Sonogashira reaction for the d-e bond of the central amino-acid chain. The compound is a potent inhibitor of thrombin's activities in vitro and demonstrates potent oral anti-thrombotic potencies in three rat models of thrombosis. The observed in vitro potency could be rationalized through the examination of the interactions within the SSR182289A 1 - thrombin crystal structure. SSR182289A 1, has been therefore selected for further development. # 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
