We have synthesized several C7-aminomethyl analogues of vorapaxar that are potent PAR-1 antagonists. Many of these analogues showed excellent in vitro binding affinity and pharmacokinetics profile in rats. Compound 6a from this series showed excellent PAR-1 activity (K i = 5 nM). We have also synthesized a C9a-hydroxy analogue of vorapaxar, which showed very good PAR-1 affinity (K i = 19.5 nM) along with excellent rat pharmacokinetic profile and ex vivo efficacy in the cynomolgus monkey.
