Thrombin inhibitors built on an azaphenylalanine scaffold
摘要:
A series of azaphenylalanine derivatives were investigated as novel thrombin inhibitors based on the prodrug principle. By systematic structural modifications we have identified optimal groups for this series that led us to potent inhibitors of thrombin incorporating the benzamidine fragment at the PI position, and their potentially orally active benzamidoxime prodrugs. The binding modes in the thrombin active site of two representative compounds were identified by X-ray crystallographic analysis. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Design and structure–activity relationship of thrombin inhibitors with an azaphenylalanine scaffold: potency and selectivity enhancements via P2 optimization
provides an enhanced fit into this activesite S2 pocket. In the present paper, we also report on the structure of these inhibitors in solution and conformational analysis of inhibitors in the activesite in order to asses the consequences of the replacement of the central alpha-CH by a nitrogen functionality. In vitro biological testing of the designedinhibitors shows that elimination of R, S stereoisomerism
