The structure activity relationships of a novel series of non-amide-based thrombin inhibitors are described. Exploration of the P2 and the aryl binding region for this series has identified optimal groups for achieving nanomolar potency. The binding modes of these optimal groups have been confirmed by X-ray structural analysis.

We describe a new class of potent, non-amide-based small molecule thrombin inhibitors in which an amidinohydrazone is used as a guanidine bioisostere on a non-peptide scaffold. Compound 4 exhibits nM inhibition of thrombin, is selective for thrombin, and shows 60 and 23% bioavailability in rabbits and dogs, respectively. Crystallographic analysis of 4 bound to thrombin confirmed the amindinohydrazone binding mode.

This class of achiral inhibitors lacks an amide-based backbone, exhibits nM inhibition of thrombin, and is selective for thrombin. Compound 14 does not interact with the active-site catalytic apparatus and is anchored to the enzyme via a single network of hydrogen bonds to Asp189 of the S1 pocket.
