Structure-based drug design coupled with polymer-assisted solution-phase library synthesis was utilized to develop a series of pyrazinone inhibitors of the tissue factor/Factor Vila complex. The crystal structure of a tri-peptide ketothiazole complexed with TF/VIIa was utilized in a docking experiment that identified a benzyl-substituted pyrazinone as a P-2 surrogate for the tri-peptide. A 5-step PASP library synthesis of these aryl-substituted pyrazinones was developed. The sequence allows for attachment of a variety of P-1 and P-3 moieties, which led to synthesis pyrazinone 23. Compound 23 exhibited 16 nM IC50 against TF/VIIa with > 6250x selectivity versus Factor Xa and thrombin. This potent and highly selective inhibitor of TF/VIIa was chosen for preclinical intravenous proof-of-concept studies to demonstrate the separation between antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding side effects in a primate model of thrombosis.
