Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to bicyclic heteroaryl substituted compounds useful as inhibitors of platelet aggregation.
  • bicyclic heteroaryl substituted compounds useful as inhibitors of platelet aggregation.
  • compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of their use.
  • the invention further pertains to pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one compound according to the invention that are useful in preventing or treating thromboembolic disorders.
  • Thromboembolic diseases remain the leading cause of death in developed countries despite the availability of anticoagulants such as warfarin (COUMADIN®), heparin, low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), synthetic pentasaccharides, and antiplatelet agents such as aspirin and clopidogrel (PLAVIX®).
  • anticoagulants such as warfarin (COUMADIN®), heparin, low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), synthetic pentasaccharides, and antiplatelet agents such as aspirin and clopidogrel (PLAVIX®).
  • Alpha-thrombin is the most potent known activator of platelet aggregation and degranulation. Activation of platelets is causally involved in atherothrombotic vascular occlusions.
  • Thrombin activates platelets by cleaving G-protein coupled receptors termed protease activated receptors (PARs).
  • PARs provide their own cryptic ligand present in the N-terminal extracellular domain that is unmasked by proteolytic cleavage, with subsequent intramolecular binding to the receptor to induce signaling (tethered ligand mechanism; Coughlin, S. R., Nature, 407:258-264 (2000)).
  • Synthetic peptides that mimic the sequence of the newly formed N-terminus upon proteolytic activation can induce signaling independent of receptor cleavage.
  • Platelets are a key player in atherothrombotic events. Human platelets express at least two thrombin receptors, commonly referred to as PAR1 and PAR4. Inhibitors of PAR1 have been investigated extensively, and several compounds, including vorapaxar and atopaxar have advanced into late stage clinical trials. Recently, in the TRACER phase III trial in ACS patients, vorapaxar did not significantly reduce cardiovascular events, but significantly increased the risk of major bleeding (Tricoci, P. et al., N. Eng. J. Med., 366(1):20-33 (2012). Thus, there remains a need to discover new antiplatelet agents with increased efficacy and reduced bleeding side effects.
  • Compound 58 is also referred to as YD-3 in Wu, C-C. et al., “Selective Inhibition of Protease-activated Receptor 4-dependent Platelet Activation by YD-3 ”, Thromb. Haemost., 87:1026-1033 (2002). Also, see Chen, H. S. et al., “Synthesis and antiplatelet activity of ethyl 4-(1-benzyl-1H-indazol-3-yl)benzoate (YD-3) derivatives”, Bioorg. Med. Chem., 16:1262-1278 (2008).
  • EP1166785 A1 and EP0667345 disclose various pyrazole derivatives which are useful as inhibitors of platelet aggregation.
  • potent compounds that have activity as PAR4 inhibitors. These compounds are provided to be useful as pharmaceuticals with desirable potency, stability, bioavailability, therapeutic index, and toxicity values that are important to their drugability.
  • bicyclic heteroaryl substituted compounds in accordance with the present invention are PAR4 antagonists which inhibit platelet aggregation in gamma-thrombin induced platelet aggregation assays.
  • the present invention provides bicyclic heteroaryl substituted compounds that are PAR4 antagonists and are useful as selective inhibitors of platelet aggregation, including stereoisomers, tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or prodrugs thereof.
  • the present invention also provides processes and intermediates for making the compounds of the present invention or stereoisomers, tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or prodrugs thereof.

  • the present invention also provides the compounds of the present invention or stereoisomers, tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or prodrugs thereof, for use in therapy.
  • the present invention also provides the use of the compounds of the present invention or stereoisomers, tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or prodrugs thereof, for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of a thromboembolic disorder.

With XXI in hand, various compounds of Formula I with structure XXIIa are prepared with boronic acid Ib via Suzuki cross-coupling.
  • Substitution at the 4-position of the benzothiazole R 3 group can be accomplished from intermediates XXVa and XXVb as shown in Scheme 14. Lithiation of XXVa followed by its addition to a variety of aldehydes provides XXVI, as does Grignard addition to benzaldehyde XXVb. XXVI is then coupled to Ib as described above to provide compounds of Formula I with structure XXVII.
  • chloroformate XXIX is synthesized from compounds with formulas analogous to XXVIII using phosgene. These chloroformates are then reacted with a variety of nucleophiles to generate compounds of structure XXX.
  • Compounds of structure XXXII are synthesized from amines such as XXXI using sulfonyl chloride reagents.
