Description

This is a division of application Ser. No. 10/148,544 filed Oct. 2, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,642,224, which in turn is a 371 of PCT/JP01/02673 filed Mar. 29, 2001.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to a novel diazepan derivative or a salt thereof, which is useful as a pharmaceutical particularly as an activated blood coagulation factor X inhibitor and also to such a pharmaceutical agent.

BACKGROUND ART

With the changes into European and American life styles and the increase in aged population in recent years, the number of patients with thromboembolic diseases including myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis and peripheral arterial thrombosis have been increasing year by year and social importance of their treatment has been increasing more and more. As well as the fibrinolysis therapy and antiplatelet therapy, the anticoagulation therapy takes a part of the medical therapy in treating and preventing thrombosis (Sogo Rinsho, 41: 2141-2145, 1989). In particular, the safety which withstands long-term administration and accurate and proper expression of the anticoagulation activity are essential in the prevention of thrombosis. Warfarin potassium is frequently used in the world as the sole oral anticoagulant but this drug is extremely difficult to use clinically because it is difficult to control the anticoagulation capacity due to the characteristics based on its action mechanism (J. Clinical Pharmacology 32, 196 209, 1992 and N. Eng. J. Med., 324(26), 1865-1875, 1991) whereby a great concern has been directed toward the development of more useful and easily usable anticoagulants.

Thrombin controls conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin which is the final step of coagulation and is also concerned deeply in the activation and aggregation of platelets (“T-PA and Pro-UK” edited by S. Matsuo, published by Gakusai Kikaku, pp. 5-40 “Blood Coagulation”, 1986) and its inhibitor has been the center of anticoagulant studies as a target of development of pharmaceuticals. However, thrombin inhibitors which can be administered orally have not been put into the market until now because of their low bioavailability by oral administration and problems from the viewpoint of safety (Biomed. Biochim. Acta, 44, 1201-1210, 1985).

Activated blood coagulation factor X is a key enzyme which is located at the joining point of the extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation cascade reactions and located upstream to thrombin whereby there is a possibility that inhibition of this factor is more efficient than the thrombin inhibition and such an inhibitor can inhibit this coagulation system in a specific manner (THROMBOSIS RESEARCH (19), 339-349, 1980).

As the compounds having an activated blood coagulation factor X inhibiting action, amidinonaphthyl alkylbenzene derivatives or salts thereof have been known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 208946/1993; Thrombosis Haemostasis, 71(3), 314-319, 1994; and Thrombosis Haemostasis, 72(3), 393-396, 1994).

In WO 96/16940, it is mentioned that an amidinonaphthyl derivative or a salt thereof represented by the following general formula is the compound having an activated blood coagulation factor X inhibiting action (Prior Art 1).

(For the symbols in the formula, refer to the gazette.)

In WO99/00121, WO99/00126, WO99/00127, WO99/00128, WO00/39111, WO00/39117 and WO00/39118, phenylenediamide compounds, etc. represented by the following general formula are mentioned as an factor Xa inhibitor (Prior Art 2).

(For the symbols in the formula, refer to the gazette.)

Further, in WO99/32477, a broad range of compounds represented by the following general formula is mentioned as an anticoagulant (Prior Art 3).

(For the symbols in the formula, refer to the gazette.)
