TITLE
AMIDINOTNDOLES, AM~D~NOAZOLES, AND ANALOGS T~EREOF AS INHlBllORS OF FACTOR
Xa AND OF THROMBIN
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to amidinoindoles,
amidinoazoles, and analogs which are inhibitors of trypsin-
like serine protease enzymes, especially thrombin and factor
Xa, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and
methods of using the same as anticoagulant agents for
treatment and prevention of thromboembolic disorders.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
EP 0, 540,051 and JP 06227971 describe a series of
15 compounds useful as factor Xa inhibitors or to treat influenza
based on the formula:


NH~ X--(CH2)n--Y

wherein A is an alkylene linker optionally substituted by
hydroxyalkyl, carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl,
or carboxyalkyl, X is a bond, O, S, or carbonyl, n is 0-4, and
Y is an optionally substituted carbocycle or heterocycle. The
present invention does not involve compounds containing the
above noted combination of A, X, n, and Y.
Tidwell et al, Thrombosis Research 1981, 24, 73-83,
describe factor Xa inhibitory activity of a series of aromatic
mono- and di-amidines. The amidino aromatic moieties are
include indole, indoline, benzofuran and benzimidazole.
Tidwell et al, J. Med. Chem. 1983, 26, 294-298,
report a series of amidinoindoles of the formula:

R2
X
wherein one of Rl and R2 is amidine, X may be methyl or ethyl
when Y and Z are H, Y may be C(O)CH2CH3 when X and Z are H, and




. . .

CA 022~9~73 1999-01-06

WO98/01428 - PCT~S97/11325
Z may be CHO, COCH3, COCF3, or C(O)Ph when X and Y are H.
Thrombin inhibition constants are given for these compounds.
EP 0,655,439 discuss IIb/IIIa antagonists of the formula:


~X7 X, (La)--A
R2
wherein the core ring is a heterocycle, B is a basic group, A
is an acidic group, Rl is an optional substituent, R2 is an
optional substituent, and La and Lb are linkers which may
optionally be substituted. The present invention does not
contain the La-A group.
Fairley et al, J. Med. Chem. 1993, 36, 1746-1753,
illustrate a series of bis(amidinobenzimidazoles) and
bis(amidinoindoles) of the formulae:



N N~ Nr N~1
wherein R is an amidine or derivative thereof and X is an
alkylene, alkenylene, phenylene or phenylenedimethylene
linker. The DNA binding capabilities of these compounds were
studied and reported, but inhibition of trypsin-like enzymes
was not discussed.
WO 95/08540 depicts bis(amidinobenzimidazolyl)alkanes of
the formula:

Z~H N3~ Z
wherein Z is an amidine derivative and R and Rl are selected
from a variety of substituents including hydroxyl, amino, and
alkoxy. These compounds are said to be useful in the
treatment of viruses, specifically HIV. No mention is made of
Xa or thrombin inhibition.
Trypsin-like enzymes are a group of proteases which
hydrolyzed peptide bonds at basic residues liberating either a
C-terminal arginyl or lysyl residue. Among these are enzymes
of the blood coagulation and fibrinolytic system required for




CA 022~9~73 1999-01-06

WO98/01428 - PCT~S97/11325
hemostasis. They are Factors II, X, VII, IX, XII, kallikrein,
tissue plasminogen activators, urokinase-like plasminogen
activator, and plasmin. Elevated levels of proteolysis by
these proteases can result in disease states. For example,
consumptive coagulopathy, a condition marked by a decrease in
the blood levels of enzymes of both the coagulation system,
the fibrinolytic system and accompanying protease inhibitors
is often fatal. More specifically, proteolysis by thrombin is
required for blood clotting. Inhibition of thrombin results
in an effective inhibitor of blood clotting. The importance
of an effective inhibitor of thrombin is underscored by the
observation that conventional anticoagulants such as heparin
(and its complex with the protein inhibitor, antithrombin III)
are ineffective in blocking arterial thrombosis associated
with myocardial infarctions and other clotting disorders.
However, a low molecular weight thrombin inhibitor, containing
a different functionality, was effective in blocking arterial
thrombosis (Hanson and Harker, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.
85, 3184 (1988).
Activated factor Xa, whose major practical role is the
generation of thrombin by the limited proteolysis of
prothrombin, holds a central position that links the intrinsic
and extrinsic activation mechanisms in the final common
pathway o blood coagulation. The generation of thrombin, the
final serine protease in the pathway to generate a fibrin
clot, from its precursor is amplified by formation of
prothrombinase complex (factor Xa, factor V, Ca2~ and
phospholipid). Since it is calculated that one molecule of
factor Xa can generate 138 molecules of thrombin ~Elodi, S.,
Varadi, K.: Optimization of conditions for the catalytic
effect of the factor IXa-factor VIII Complex: Probable role of
the complex in the amplification of blood coagulation.
Thromb. Res. 1979, 15, 6l7-629~, inhibition of factor Xa may
be more ef icient that inactivation of thrombin in
interrupting the blood coagulation system.
There-ore, efficacious and specific inhibitors of factor
Xa or thrombin are needed as potentially valuable therapeutic
agents for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders. It is


CA 022~9~73 1999-0l-06

WO98/01428 - PCT~S97/11325
thus desirable to discover new thrombin or factor Xa
inhibitors.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to
provide novel amidinoindoles and analogs thereof which are
useful as factor Xa or thrombin inhibitors or pharmaceutically
acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide
pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of
at least one of the compounds of the present invention or a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug form thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide
a method for treating thromboembolic disorders comprising
administering to a host in need of such treatment a
therapeutically effective amount of at least one of the
compounds of the present invention or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt or prodrug form thereof.
These and other objects, which will become apparent
during the following detailed description, have been achieved
by the inventors' discovery that compounds of formula (I):

DEFINITIONS
The compounds herein described may have asymmetric
centers. Compounds of the present invention con~i n ing an
asymmetrically substituted atom may be isolated in optically
active or racemic forms. It is well known in the art how to
prepare optically active forms, such as by resolution of
racemic forms or by synthesis from optically active starting
materials. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C=N double
bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds
described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated
in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric isomers of
the compounds of the present invention are described and may
be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric
forms. All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms and all
geometric isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless
the specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically
indicated.
When any variable (e.g., R6) occurs more than one time in
any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition on
each occurrence is independent of its definition at every
other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to
be substituted with 0-2 R6, then said group may optionally be
substituted with up to two R6 and R6 at each occurrence is
selected independently from the defined list of possible R6.
Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are
permissible only if such combinations result in stable
compounds.
As used herein, "Cl_4 alkyl" is intended to include both
branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon
groups having the specified number of carbon atoms, examples

consisting of N, O and S and including any bicyclic group in
which any of the above-defined heterocyclic rings is fused to
a benzene ring. The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may
optionally be oxidized. The heterocyclic ring may be attached
to its pendant group at any heteroatom or carbon atom which
results in a stable structure. The heterocyclic rings
described herein may be substituted on carbon or on a nitrogen
atom if the resulting compound is stable. If specifically
noted, a nitrogen in the heterocycle may optionally be
quaternized. It is preferred that when the total number of S

included are fused ring and spiro compounds containing, for
example, the above heterocycles.
When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross the bond
connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be
bonded to any atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed
without indicating the atom via which such substituent is
bonded to the rest of the compound of a given formula, then
such substituent may be bonded via any atom in such
substituent. Combinations of substituents and/or variables
are permissible only if such combinations result in stable
compounds.
The term "substituted", as used herein, means that any
one or more hydrogens on the designated atom is replaced with
a selection from the indicated group, provided that the
designated atom's normal valency is not exceeded, and that the
substitution results in a stable compound. When a substitent
is keto (i.e., =O), then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced.
As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refer
to derivatives of the disclosed compounds wherein the parent
compound is modified by making acid or base salts thereof.
Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are
not limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic
residues such as amines; alkali or organic salts of acidic
residues such as carboxylic acids; and the like. The
pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the conventional
non-toxic salts or the quaternary ammonium salts of the parent
compound formed, for example, from non-toxic inorganic or
organic acids. For example, such conventional non-toxic salts
include those derived from inorganic acids such as

ratio.
"Prodrugs" are intended to include any covalently bonded
carriers which release the active parent drug according to
formula (I) in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a
mAmm~lian subject. Prodrugs of a compound of formula (I~ are
prepared by modifying functional groups present in the
compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved,
either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent
compound. Prodrugs include compounds of formula (I) wherein a
hydroxy, amino, or sulfhydryl group is bonded to any group
that, when the prodrug or compound of formula (I) is
administered to a mAmm~lian subject, cleaves to form a free
hydroxyl, free amino, or free sulfhydryl group, respectively.
Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate,
~ 35 formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine
functional groups in the compounds of formula (I), and the
- like. Preferred prodrugs are amidine prodrugs wherein either
D or Da is C(=NH)N(H)Rl0, and Rl0 is selected from OH, Cl_4

Scheme 5 details the synthesis of 2-substituted-amidino-
benzimidazoles from 3,4-diamino-benzonitrile and 3-amino-4-
hydroxybenzonitrile 13 which are obtained by hydrogenation of4-amino-3-nitro-benzonitrile or 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzonitrile.
Treatment of 13 with an acyl chloride or an acid in the
presence of PPA can form compound 14 (see Walker et al
Synthesis 1981, 303). Compound 14 can be converted to its
amidino derivative via the Pinner reaction. Alternatively,
when Y is NH, alkylation of 14 with a halide in the presence
of a base, such as K2CO3, can afford a mixture of two
regioisomers 15 and 16, which can, after being separated, be
subjected to the Pinner reaction to give 2-substituted-6-
amidino-benzimidazoles and 2-substituted-5-amidino-
benzimidazole derivatives, respectively.

reactions of [(4-bromophenyl)carbonyl]methyl-6-
cyanobenzimidazole or [(4-bromophenyl)carbonyl]methyl-5-
cyanobenzimidazole with a variety of boronic acids by using
Na2CO3 (2-4 equivalents) and Pd(PPh3)4 (5-10% mmol~1) as
catalyst in THF (80% in H2O, 10 mL/mmol), followed by Pinner
reactions.
A mixture of [(4-bromophenyl)carbonyl]methyl-6-
cyanobenzimidazole and [(4-bromophenyl)carbonyl]methyl-5-
cyanobenzimidazole was made in over 90% yield by alkylation of
5-cyano-benzimidazole (36 mmol) with 2, 4'-dibromoacetophenone

To a solution of 3-acetic acid indoline (0.001 mol, 0.2 g) [or
indoline acid (0.001 mol, 0.202 g)] in anhydrous acetonitrile
(10 mL) was added thionyl chloride (0.3 mL, 4.0 eq.) [for
indoline, 1.0 M HCl in ethyl ether (0.05 mL, 1.0 eq.) was
added before thionyl chloride]. This reaction mixture was
warmed up at 50~C for 10 min. then allowed to cool to ambient
temperature and stirred for 2 h. The solvent and extra
thionyl chloride were removed in vacuo and the residue was
pumped on for several hours for further dry. To this dried
residue was added a mixture of A-B (0.338 g, 1.0 e~.~ and
triethyl amine (0.14 mL, 1.0 eq.; 2.0 eq. for HCl salt) in
anhydrous methylene chloride (10 mL). This reaction mixture
was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 2 h. The
reaction mixture was evaporated and purified by flash
chromatography on a silica gel column (50 g) eluted with 3:1
hexane:ethyl acetate to give 0.4 g of pure product with n-
butyl sulfonamide (51 %).

UtilitY
The compounds of this invention are useful as
anticoagulants for the treatment or prevention of
thromboembolic disorders in mammals. The term "thromboembolic
disorders" as used herein includes arterial or venous
cardiovascular or cerebrovascular thromboembolic disorders,
including, for example, unstable angina, first or recurrent
myocardial infarction, ischemic sudden death, transient
ischemic attack, stroke, atherosclerosis, venous thrombosis,
deep vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, arterial embolism,
coronary and cerebral arterial thrombosis, cerebral embolism,
kidney embolisms, and pulmonary embolisms. The anticoagulant
effect of compounds of the present invention is believed to be
due to inhibition of factor Xa or thrombin.
The effectiveness of compounds of the present invention
as inhibitors of factor Xa was determined using purified human
factor Xa and synthetic substrate. The rate of factor Xa
hydrolysis of chromogenic substrate S2222 (Kabi Pharmacia,
Franklin, OH) was measured both in the absence and presence of
compounds of the present invention. Hydrolysis of the
substrate resulted in the release of pNA, which was monitored
spectrophotometricallY by measuring the increase in absorbance
at 405 nM. A decrease in the rate of absorbance change at 405
nm in the presence of inhibitor is indicative of enzyme
inhibition. The results of this assay are expressed as
inhibitory constant, Ki-
Factor Xa determinations were made in 0.l0 M sodiumphosphate buffer, pH 7.5, containing 0.20 M NaCl, and 0.5 %
PEG 8000. The Michaelis constant, Km, for substrate
hydrolysis was determined at 25~C using the method of
Lineweaver and Burk. Values o~ Ki were determined by allowing
0.2-0.5 nM human factor Xa (Enzyme Research Laboratories,
South Bend, IN) to react with the substrate (0.20 mM-l mM) in
the presence of inhibitor. Reactions were allowed to go for
30 minutes and the velocities (rate of absorbance change vs
time) were measured in the time frame of 25-30 minutes. The
following relationship was used to calculate Ki values:
(vO-vs)/vs = I/(Ki (l + S/Km))

CA 022~9~73 1999-01-06

WO98/01428 - PCT~S97/11325
where:
vO is the velocity of the control in the absence of
inhibitori
VS is the velocity in the presence of inhibitor;
I is the concentration of inhibitor;
Ki is the dissociation constant of the enzyme:inhibitor
complex;
S is the concentration of substrate;
Km is the Michaelis constant.
Using the methodology described above, a number of compounds
of the present invention were found to exhibit a Ki of <5 ~m,
thereby confirming the utility of the compounds of the present
invention as effective Xa inhibitors.
The antithrombotic effect of compounds of the present
invention can be demonstrated in a rabbit arterio-venous tAV)
shunt thrombosis model. In this model, rabbits weighing 2-3
kg anesthetized with a mixture of xylazine (lO mg/kg i.m.) and
ketamine (50 mg/kg i.m.) are used. A saline-filled AV shunt
device is connected between the femoral arterial and the
femoral venous cannulae. The AV shunt device consists of a
piece of 6-cm tygon tubing which contains a piece of silk
thread. Blood will flow from the femoral artery via the AV-
shunt into the femoral vein. The exposure of flowing blood to
a silk thread will induce the formation of a significant
thrombus. After forty minutes, the shunt is disconnected and
the silk thread covered with thrombus is weighed. Test agents
or vehicle will be given (i.v., i.p., s.c., or orally) prior
to the opening of the AV shunt. The percentage inhibition of
thrombus formation is determined for each treatment group.
The ID50 values (dose which produces 50% inhibition of
thrombus formation) are estimated by linear regression.
The compounds of formula (I) are also considered to be
useful as inhibitors of serine proteases, notably human
thrombin, plasma kallikrein and plasmin. Because of their
inhibitory action, these compounds are indicated for use in
the prevention or treatment of physiological reactions, blood
coagulation and inflammation, catalyzed by the aforesaid class
of enzymes. Specifically, the compounds have utility as drugs
137

for the treatment of diseases arising from elevated thrombin
activity such as myocardial infarction, and as reagents used
as anticoagulants in the processing of blood to plasma for
diagnostic and other commercial purposes.
Some compounds of the present invention were shown to be
direct acting inhibitors of the serine protease thrombin by
their ability to inhibit the cleavage of small molecule
substrates by thrombin in a purified system. In vitro
inhibition constants were determined by the method described
by Kettner et al- in J- Biol- Chem. 265, 18289-182g7 (l990),
herein incorporated by re~erence. In these assays, thrombin-
mediated hydrolysis of the chromogenic substrate S2238 (Helena
Laboratories, Beaumont, TX) was monitored
spectrophotometrically. Addition of an inhibitor to the assay
mixture results in decreased absorbance and is indicative of
throm~bin inhibition. Human thrombin (Enzyme Research
Laboratories, Inc., South Bend, IN) at a concentration of 0.2
nM in O.lO M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, 0.20 M NaCl, and
0.5% PEG 6000, was incubated with various substrate
concentrations ranging from 0.20 to 0.02 mM After 25 to 30
minutes of incubation, thrombin activity was assayed by
monitoring the rate of increase in absorbance at 405 nm which
arises owing to substrate hydrolysis. Inhibition constants
were derived from reciprocal plots of the reaction velocity as
a function of substrate concentration using the st~n~rd
method of Lineweaver and Burk. Using the methodology
described above, some compounds of this invention were
evaluated and found to exhibit a Ki of less than 5 ~m, thereby
confirming the utility of the compounds of the invention as
effective thrombin inhibitors.
The compounds of the present invention can be
administered alone or in combination with one or more
additional therapeutic agents. These include other anti-
coagulant or coagulation inhibitory agents, anti-platelet or
platelet inhibitory agents, thrombin inhibitors, or
thrombolytic or fibrinolytic agents.
The compounds are adm~inistered to a m~mm~l in a
therapeutically effective amount. By "therapeutically
138

CA 022~9~73 1999-01-06

WO98tO1428 - PCT~S97/11325
effective amount" it is meant an amount of a compound of
Formula I that, when administered alone or in combination with
an additional therapeutic agent to a mammal, is effective to
prevent or ameliorate the thromboembolic disease condition or
the progression of the disease.
By ~ ministered in combination" or "combination therapy"
it is meant that the compound of Formula I and one or more
additional therapeutic agents are administered concurrently to
the mammal being treated. When administered in combination
each component may be administered at the same time or
sequentially in any order at different points in time. Thus,
each component may be administered separately but sufficiently
closely in time so as to provide the desired therapeutic
effect. Other anticoagulant agents (or coagulation inhibitory
agents) that may be used in combination with the compounds of
this invention include warfarin and heparin, as well as other
factor Xa inhibitors such as those described in the
publications identified above under Background of the
Invention.
The term anti-platelet agents (or platelet inhibitory
agents), as used herein, denotes agents that inhibit platelet
function such as by inhibiting the aggregation, adhesion or
granular secretion of platelets. Such agents include, but are
not limited to, the various known non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin, ibuprofen,
naproxen, sulindac, indomethacin, mefenamate, droxicam,
diclofenac, sulfinpyrazone, and piroxicam, including
pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof. Of the
NSAIDS, aspirin (acetylsalicyclic acid or ASA), and piroxicam
are preferred. Other suitable anti-platelet agents include
ticlopidine, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts or
prodrugs thereof. Ticlopidine is also a preferred compound
since it is known to be gentle on the gastro-intestinal tract
in use. Still other suitable platelet inhibitory agents
include IIb/IIIa antagonists, thromboxane-A2-receptor
antagonists and thromboxane-A2-synthetase inhibitors, as well
as pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof.

WO98/01428 PCT~S97/11325
The term thrombin inhibitors (or anti-thrombin agents),
as used herein, denotes inhibitors of the serine protease
thrombin. By inhibiting thrombin, various thrombin-mediated
processes, such as thrombin-mediated platelet activation (that
is, for example, the aggregation of platelets, and/or the
granular secretion of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and/or
serotonin) and/or fibrin formation are disrupted. A number of
thrombin inhibitors are known to one of skill in the art and
these inhibitors are contemplated to be used in combination
with the present compounds- Such inhibitors include, but are
not limited to, boroarginine derivatives, boropeptides,
heparins, hirudin and argatroban, including pharmaceutically
acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof. Boroarginine
derivatives and boropeptides include N-acetyl and peptide
derivatives of boronic acid, such as C-terminal a-aminoboronic
acid derivatives of lysine, ornithine, arginine, homoarginine
and corresponding isothiouronium analogs thereof. The term
hirudin, as used herein, includes suitable derivatives or
analogs of hirudin, referred to herein as hirulogs, such as
disulfatohirudin. Boropeptide thrombin inhibitors include
compounds described in Kettner et al., U.S. Patent No.
5,187,157 and European Patent Application Publication Number
293 881 A2, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated
herein by reference. Other suitable boroarginine derivatives
and boropeptide thrombin inhibitors include those disclosed in
PCT Application Publication Number 92/07869 and European
Patent Application Publication Number 471,651 A2, the
disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by
reference.
The term thrombolytics (or fibrinolytic) agents (or
thrombolytics or fibrinolytics), as used herein, denotes
agents that lyse blood clots (thrombi). Such agents include
tissue plasminogen activator, anistreplase, urokinase or
streptokinase, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts or
prodrugs thereof. The term anistreplase, as used herein,
refers to anisoylated plasminogen streptokinase activator
complex, as described, for example, in European Patent
Application No. 028,489, the disclosure of which is hereby
140



.

CA 022~9~73 1999-01-06

WO98/01428 - PCT~S97/1132~
incorporated herein by reference herein. The term urokinase,
as used herein, is intended to denote both dual and single
chain urokinase, the latter also being referred to herein as
prourokinase.
Administration of the compounds of Formula I of the
invention in combination with such additional therapeutic
agent, may afford an efficacy advantage over the compounds and
agents alone, and may do so while permitting the use of lower
doses of each. A lower dosage minimizes the potential of side
effects, thereby providing an increased margin of safety.
The compounds of the present invention are also useful as
standard or reference compounds, for example as a qua~ity
standard or control, in tests or assays involving the
inhibition of factor Xa. Such compounds may be provided in a
commercial kit, for example, ~or use in pharmaceutical
research involving factor Xa. For example, a compound of the
present invention could be used as a reference in an assay to
compare its known activity to a compound with an unknown
activity. This would ensure the experimenter that the assay
was being performed properly and provide a basis for
comparison, especially if the test compound was a derivative
of the reference compound. When developing new assays or
protocols, compounds according to the present invention could
be used to test their effectiveness.
The compounds of the present invention may also be used
in diagnostic assays involving factor Xa. For example, the
presence of factor Xa in an unknown sample could be determined
by addition of chromogenic substrate S2222 to a series of
solutions containing test sample and optionally one of the
ccmpounds of the present invention. If production of pNA is
observed in the solutions containing test sample, but no
compound of the present invention, then one would conclude
factor Xa was present.

Dosaqe and Formulation
The compounds of this invention can be adminis~ered
in such oral dosage forms as tablets, capsules (each of which
includes sustained release or timed release formulations)~

pills, powders, granules, el~xirs, tinctures, suspensions,
syrups, and emulsions. They may also be administered in
intravenous (bolus or infusion), intraperitoneal,
subcutaneous, or intramuscular form, all using dosage forms
well known to those of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical
arts. They can be administered alone, but generally will be
administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the -
basis of the chosen route of administration and standard
pharmaceutical practice.
The dosage regimen for the compounds of the present
invention will, of course, vary depending upon known factors,
such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular
agent and its mode and route of administration; the species,
age, sex, health, medical condition, and weight of the
recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the kind of
concurrent treatment; the frequency of treatment; the route of
administration, the renal and hepatic function of the
patient,and the effect desired. A physician or veterinarian
can determine and prescribe the effective amount of the drug
required to prevent, counter, or arrest the progress of the
thromboembolic disorder.
By way of general guidance, the daily oral dosage of each
active ingredient, when used for the indicated effects, will
range between about 0.001 to 1000 mg/kg of body weight,
preferably between about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg of body weight per
day, and most preferably between about 1.0 to 20 mg/kg/day.
Intravenously~ the most preferred doses will range from about
1 to about 10 mg/kg/minute during a constant rate infusion.
Compounds of this invention may be administered in a single
daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be ~mlnjstered in
divided doses of two, three, or four times daily.
Compounds of this invention can be administered in
intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal
vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using transdermal skin
patches. When administered in the form of a transdermal
delivery system, the dosage ~min; stration will, of course, be
continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage
regimen.

The compounds are typically administered in admixture
with suitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients, or carriers
(collectively referred to herein as pharmaceutical carriers)
suitably selected with respect to the intended form of
administration, that is, oral tablets, capsules, elixirs,
syrups and the like, and consistent with conventional
pharmaceutical practices.
For instance, for oral ~mi~i stration in the form of a
tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined
with an oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable, inert
carrier such as lactose, starch, sucrose, glucose, methyl
callulose, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate, calcium
sulfate, mannitol, sorbitol and the like; for oral
administration in li~uid form, the oral drug components can be
combined with any oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable
inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like.
Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders,
lubricants, disintegrating agents, and coloring agents can
also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders
include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or
beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such
as acacia, tragacanth, or sodium alginate,
carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the
like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium
oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate,
sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and the like. Disintegrators
include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar,
bentonite, xanthan gum, and the like.
The compounds of the present invention can also be
30 ~nmi ni stered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as
small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and
multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a
variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine,
or phosphatidylcholines.
Compounds of the present invention may also be coupled
with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such
polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer,
polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamide-phenol,
143

CA 022~9~73 1999-01-06

WO98/01428 - PCT~S97/11325
polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxide-
polylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore,
the compounds of the present invention may be coupled to a
class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled
release of a drug, for example, polylactic acid, polyglycolic
ac-id, copolymers of polylactic and polyglycolic acid,
polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid,
polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans,
polycyanoacylates, and crosslinked or amphipathic block
copolymers of hydrogels.
Dosage forms ~pharmaceutical compositions) suitable for
administration may contain from about l milligram to about lO0
milligrams of active ingredient per dosage unit. In these
pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredient will
ordinarily be present in an amount of about 0.5-95% by weight
based on the total weight of the composition.
Gelatin capsules may contain the active ingredient and
powdered carriers, such as lactose, starch, cellulose
derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like.
Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both
tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release
products to provide for continuous release of medication over
a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or
film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the
tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated for selective
disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.
Li~uid dosage forms for oral ~mi ni stration can contain
coloring and flavoring to increase patient acceptance.
In general, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous
dextrose (glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols
such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols are suitable
carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for parenteral
administration preferably contain a water soluble salt of the
active ingredient, suitable stabilizing agents, and if
necessary, buffer substances- Antioxidizing agents such as
sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either
alone or combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used
are citric acid and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition,
144

CA 022~9~73 1999-01-06

WO98/01428 - PCT~S97/11325
parenteral solutions can contain preservatives, such as
benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propyl-paraben, and
chlorobutanol.
Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in
Remin~ton's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company,
a standard reference text in this field.
Representative useful pharmaceutical dosage-forms for
administration of the compounds of this invention can be
illustrated as follows:
Ca~sules
A large number of unit capsules are prepared by filling
standard two-piece hard gelatin capsules each with lO0
milligrams of powdered active ingredient, 150 milligrams of
lactose, 50 milligrams of cellulose, and 6 milligrams
magnesium stearate.
Soft Gelatin Ca~sules
A mixture of active ingredient in a digestable oil such
as soybean oil, cottonseed oil or olive oil is prepared and
injected by means of a positive displacement pump into gelatin
to form soft gelatin capsules containing lO0 milligrams of the
active ingredient. The capsules are washed and dried.
Tablets
A large number of tablets are prepared by conventional
procedures so that the dosage unit is lO0 milligrams of active
ingredient, 0.2 milligrams of colloidal silicon dioxide, 5
milligrams of magnesium stearate, 275 milligrams of
microcrystalline cellulose, ll milligrams of starch and 98.8
milligrams of lactose. Appropriate coatings may be applied to
increase palatability or delay absorption.
Iniectable
A parenteral composition suitable for administration by
injection is prepared by stirring l.5% by weight of active
ingredient in 10% by volume propylene glycol and water. The
solution is made isotonic with sodium chloride and sterilized.
Sus~ension
An aqueous suspension is prepared for oral
administration so that each 5 mL contain lO0 mg of finely
divided active ingredient, 200 mg of sodium carboxymethyl
145

CA 022~9~73 1999-01-06

WO98/01428 - PCT~S97/11325
ce~lulose, 5 mg of sodium benzoate, l.0 g of sorbitol
solution, U.S.P., and 0.025 mL of vanillin.
Where the compounds of this invention are combined with
other anticoagulant agents, for example, a daily dosage may be
about O.l to lO0 milligrams of the compound of Formula I and
about l to 7.5 milligrams of the second anticoagulant, per
kilogram of patient body weight. For a tablet dosage form,
the compounds of this invention generally may be present in an
amount of about 5 to lO milligrams per dosage unit, and the
second anti-coagulant in an amount of about l to 5 milligrams
per dosage unit.
Where the compounds of Formula I are administered in
combination with an anti-platelet agent, by way of general
guidance, typically a daily dosage may be about O.Ol to 25
milligrams of the compound of Formula I and about 50 to 150
milligrams of the anti-platelet agent, preferably about O.l to
l milligrams of the compound of Formula I and about l to 3
milligrams of antiplatelet agents, per kilogram of patient
body weight.
Where the compounds of Formula I are adminstered in
combination with thrombolytic agent, typically a daily dosage
may be about O.l to l milligrams of the compound of Formula I,
per kilogram of patient body weight and, in the case of the
thrombolytic agents, the usual dosage of the thrombolyic agent
when administered alone may be reduced by about 70-80% when
administered with a compound of Formula I.
Where two or more of the foregoing second therapeutic
agents are ~m;n; stered with the compound of Formula I,
generally the amount of each component in a typical daily
dosage and typical dosage form may be reduced relative to the
usual dosage of the agent when administered alone, in view of
the additive or synergistic effect of the therapeutic agents
when administered in combination.
Particularly when provided as a single dosage unit, the
potential exists for a chemical interaction between the
combined active ingredients. For this reason, when the
compound of Formula I and a second therapeutic agent are
combined in a single dosage unit they are formulated such that
146

CA 022~9~73 1999-01-06

WO98/01428 - PCT~S97/11325
although the active ingredients are combined in a single
dosage unit, the physical contact between the active
ingredients is minimized (that is, reduced). For example, one
active ingredient may be enteric coated- By enteric coating
one of the active ingredients, it is possible not only to
m;nimize the contact between the combined active ingredients,
but also, it is possible to control the release of one of
these components in the gastrointestinal tract such that one
of these components is not released in the stomach but rather
is released in the intestines- One of the active ingredients
may also be coated with a material which effects a sustained-
release throughout the gastrointestinal tract and also serves
to m;n;m;ze physical contact between the combined active
ingredients. Furthermore, the sustained-released component
can be additionally enteric coated such that the release of
this component occurs only in the intestine. Still another
approach would involve the formulation of a combination
product in which the one component is coated with a sustained
and/or enteric release polymer, and the other component is
also coated with a polymer such as a lowviscosity grade of
hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or other appropriate
materials as known in the art, in order to further separate
the active components. The polymer coating serves to form an
additional barrier to interaction with the other component.
These as well as other ways of mi ni m; zing contact between
the components of combination products of the present
invention, whether administered in a single dosage form or
~m; ni stered in separate forms but at the same time by the
same manner, will be readily apparent to those skilled in the
art, once armed with the present disclosure.
Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the
present invention are possible in light of the above
teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the
scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced
otherwise that as specifically described herein.
