Definitions

  • the compounds of formula I exhibit useful pharmacological activity and accordingly are incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions and used in the treatment of patients suffering from certain medical disorders. More specifically, they are Factor Xa inhibitors.
  • the present invention is directed to compounds of formula I, compositions containing compounds of formula I, and their use for treating a patient suffering from, or subject to, conditions which can be ameliorated by the administration of an inhibitor of Factor Xa.
  • Factor Xa is the penultimate enzyme in the coagulation cascade. Both free factor Xa and factor Xa assembled in the prothrombinase complex (Factor Xa, Factor Va, calcium and phospholipid) are inhibited by compounds of formula I. Factor Xa inhibition is obtained by direct complex formation between the inhibitor and the enzyme, and is therefore independent of the plasma co-factor antithrombin III. Effective factor Xa inhibition is achieved by administering the compounds either by oral administration, continuous intravenous infusion, bolus intravenous administration or any other parenteral route such that it achieves the desired effect of preventing the factor Xa induced formation of thrombin from prothrombin.
  • Anticoagulant therapy is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of a variety of thrombotic conditions of both the venous and arterial vasculature.
  • abnormal thrombus formation is primarily associated with arteries of the coronary, cerebral and peripheral vasculature.
  • the diseases associated with thrombotic occlusion of these vessels principally include acute myocardial infarction (AMI), unstable angina, thromboembolism, acute vessel closure associated with thrombolytic therapy and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), transient ischemic attacks, stroke, and intermittent claudication and bypass grafting (CABG) of the coronary or peripheral arteries.
  • AMI acute myocardial infarction
  • PTCA percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
  • CABG intermittent claudication and bypass grafting
  • Chronic anticoagulant therapy may also be beneficial in preventing the vessel luminal narrowing (restenosis) that often occurs following PTCA and CABG, and in the maintenance of vascular access patency in long- term hemodialysis patients.
  • restenosis vessel luminal narrowing
  • CABG vessel luminal narrowing
  • DVT deep vein thrombosis
  • DVT further predisposes the patient to a higher risk of pulmonary thromboembolism.
  • a systemic, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) commonly occurs in both vascular systems during septic shock, certain viral infections and cancer.
  • This invention is directed to compounds of formula I below as well as to the pharmaceutical use for treating a patient suffering from a physiological disorder capable of being modulated by inhibiting the activity of Factor Xa:
