Jm. Fevig et al., Preparation of meta-amidino-N,N-disubstituted anilines as potent inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa, BIOORG MED, 8(22), 1998, pp. 3143-3148
The serine protease factor Xa is a critical enzyme in the blood coagulation
cascade. Recently, the inhibition of factor Xa has begun to emerge as an a
ttractive strategy for the discovery of novel antithrombotic agents. Here w
e describe a series of meta-amidino-N,N-disubstituted anilines as structura
lly simple and very potent inhibitors of factor Xa. (C) 1998 The DuPont Pha
