In this manuscript we demonstrate that a modification principally directed toward the improvement of the aqueous solubility (i.e., introduction a P3 pyridine N-oxide) of the previous lead compound afforded a new series of potent orally bioavailable P1 N-benzylamide thrombin inhibitors.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent research on thrombin inhibitors is concentrating on finding compounds that are effective when taken orally and have good pharmacokinetics.
  • A new approach was used to improve a specific compound framework (3-(2-phenethylamino)-6-methylpyrazinone acetamide) by modifying its main components.
  • The result was the discovery of several strong thrombin inhibitors that are not only potent but also have high oral bioavailability and extended plasma half-lives.
