Title:

Design of selective phenylglycine amide tissue factor/factor VIIa inhibitors.

Abstract:

Proof of concept experiments have shown that tissue factor/factor VIIa inhibitors have antithrombotic activity without enhancing bleeding propensity. Starting from lead compounds generated by a biased combinatorial approach, phenylglycine amide tissue factor/factor VIIa inhibitors with low nanomolar affinity and good selectivity against other serine proteases of the coagulation cascade were designed, using the guidance of X-ray structural analysis and molecular modelling.
