Definitions
- This Application relates to compounds and compositions for treating diseases associated with serine protease activity, particularly factor Xa activity.
- Hemostasis is a function of the physiological processes which initiate and modulate blood coagulation and fibrinolysis.
- Blood coagulation involves a series of highly complex, inter-related proteolytic events which culminate in the formation of a fibrin clot surrounding the platelet aggregate which makes up the primary hemostatic plug that forms to prevent loss of blood when a vessel is damaged.
- Fibrin is the product of a proteolytic reaction catalyzed by thrombin, a serine protease, which in turn is the product of a proteolytic activation of prothrombin by factor Xa, also a serine protease.
- Thrombin also is a potent activator of platelet aggregation.
- Factor Xa is converted from inactive factor X by two distinct mechanisms referred to as the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways.
- the intrinsic pathway comprises a series of proteolytic reactions catalyzed by factors originating in blood and culminates in the formation of factor IXa.
- the extrinsic pathway comprises the activation of factor VII by tissue factor, a membrane bound protein, which is available at the site of vessel injury and culminates in the formation of factor Vila.
- Factor IXa and factor Vila in concert with tissue factor, catalyzes the conversion of factor X to factor Xa.
- the formation of factor Xa represents a convergence of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways in the cascade of events which lead to blood coagulation.
- Fibrinolysis is the mechanism by which the platelet aggregate and fibrin clot is dissolved after the vessel injury has healed.
- the normal physiological condition results in an equilibrium between blood coagulation and anticoagulation mechanisms preventing hemorrhage while maintaining blood fluidity.
- a pathological condition leading to the occlusion of a blood vessel i.e., thrombosis, is the equilibrium tipped in the direction of procoagulation.
- Arterial thrombosis which deprives tissue of oxygen will result in ischemic necrosis of that tissue.
- Venous thrombosis may result in a pulmonary embolism.
- Agents which shift the equilibrium towards anticoagulation provide a method for treating and/or preventing thrombosis.
- Agents which inhibit factor Xa provide a valid pharmacological mechanism for effecting anticoagulation.
