Invented are non-peptide TPO mimetics. Also invented is a method of treating thrombocytopenia, in a mammal, including a human, in need thereof which comprises administering to such mammal an effective amount of a selected substituted naphthimidazole derivative.

The invention of a new class of naphtho[1,2-d]imidazole thrombopoietin mimics based on a pharmacophore hypothesis for small-molecule thrombopoietic agonists is discussed. Parallel array synthesis and purification techniques allowed for the rapid exploration of structure-activity relationships within this class and for the improvement in TPO mimetic potencies and efficacies.
