Design, synthesis and structure–Activity relationships of benzoxazinone-Based factor Xa inhibitors

A series of benzoxazinone derivatives was designed and synthesized as factor Xa inhibitors. We demonstrated that the naphthyl moiety in the aniline-based compounds 1 and 2 can be replaced with benzene-fused heterobicycles and biaryls to give factor Xa inhibitors with improved trypsin selectivity. The P4 modifications lead to monoamidines which are moderately active. The benzoxazinones 41-45 are potent against factor Xa, retain the improved trypsin selectivity of the corresponding aniline-based compounds, and show strong antithrombotic effect dose responsively.

Design, synthesis, and SAR of monobenzamidines and aminoisoquinolines as factor Xa inhibitors

Monoamidine FXa inhibitors 3 were designed and synthesized. SAR studies and molecular modeling led to the design of conformationally constrained diaryl ethers 4 and 5, as well as benzopyrrolidinone 7 as potent FXa inhibitors. The monoamidines show high efficacy in a DVT model, but lack desirable oral bioavailability. The benzopyrrolidinone-based aminoisoquinolines 8 do not show significant improvement in oral bioavailability.
