anhydrides with aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids or
monocarbonates, imidazolides and esters 'thereof such as the
alkyl, aryl and aralkyl esters, e.g. the methyl, ethyl,
isopropyl, pentyl, phenyl, nitrophenyl o:r benzyl esters.
The reaction is expediently carried out in a solvent or mixture
of solvents such as methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, di-
methylsulphoxide, benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, tetrahydro-
furan, pyridine, pyridine/methylene chloride, pyridine/dime-
thylformamide, benzene/tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, optionally

Moreover, the compounds of general formula I obtained may op-
tionally be resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereo-
mers, as mentioned hereinbefore. Thus, f:or example, cis/trans
mixtures may be resolved into their cis and traps isomers, and
compounds with at least one optically acaive carbon atom may be
separated into their enantiomers.
Thus, for example, the cis/trans mixturE:s obtained may be re-
solved by chromatography into the cis and traps isomers
thereof, the compounds of general formula I obtained which
occur as racemates may be separated by methods known per se
(cf. Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in "Topics in Stereochemi-
stry", Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical
antipodes and compounds of general formula I with at least 2
asymmetric carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereo-
mers on the basis of their physical-chemical differences using
methods known per se, e.g. by chromatography and/or fractional
crystallisation, and, if these compound~~ are obtained in race-
mic form, they may subsequently be resolved into the enantio-
mers as mentioned above.
The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation
on chiral phases or by recrystallisation from an optically
active solvent or by reacting with an optically active sub-
stance which forms salts or derivatives such as e.g. esters or
amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the
activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the
diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained,
e.g. on the basis of their differences i.n solubility, whilst
the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric
salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents. Opti-
cally active acids in common use are e.c~. the D- and L-forms of
tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric
acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphox-sulphonic acid, glu-
tamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid. An optically active
alcohol may be for example (+) or (-)-menthol and an optically

CA 02337413 2001-O1-12
- 7 _
active acyl group in amides, for example:, may be a (+)- or
(-)-menthyloxycarbonyl.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I obtained may be con-
s verted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical
use into the physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or
organic acids. Acids which may be used f:or this purpose include
for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric
acid, methanesulphonic acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid,
succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or
malefic acid.
Moreover, if the new compounds of formula I thus obtained con-
tain a carboxy group, they may subsequently, if desired, be
converted into the salts thereof with inorganic or organic
bases, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologi-
cally acceptable salts thereof. suitable: bases for this purpose
include for example sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide,
arginine, cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine and
triethanolamine.
The compounds used as starting material: are known from the
literature in some cases or may be obtained by methods known
from the literature (cf. the Examples).
As already mentioned, the new phenylamidines of general formula
I and the salts thereof, particularly the physiologically ac-
ceptable salts thereof with inorganic ox- organic acids or
bases, have valuable properties. Thus, when administered oral-
1y, the new compounds of general formula I produce high and
long-lasting plasma levels compared with the aggregation-inhi-
biting compound 4-[2-[(4-amidinophenyl)aminocarbonyl]ethyl]-
1-carboxymethyl-piperidine (compound A) described in
WO 96/33970. Thus, the new phenylamidine s of general formula I
and the salts thereof have valuable pharmacological properties,
not only an anti-inflammatory effect and an inhibitory effect

CA 02337413 2001-O1-12
on bone degradation but particularly antithrombotic, antiag-
gregatory and tumour- or metastasis-inhibiting effects.
For example, the plasma concentration of compound A after oral
administration of the compounds of Examples 1 (compound B) and
1(1) (compound C) of the present invention was measured and
compared with the plasma concentration of compound A after oral
administration of compound A.
After the oral administration of 1 mg/kg~ of the test compounds
to Rhesus monkeys, the concentration of compound A in the
plasma was measured 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after the admini-
stration of the substance. To do this th.e Rhesus plasma was
incubated with a suspension of human thrombocytes in plasma and
3H-BIBU 52 (cf. DE-A-4,214,245) as ligand. The free and bound
ligand is separated by centrifuging and quantitatively determi-
ned by scintillation counting. The concentration of compound A
is calculated from the quantity of bound. ligand using a cali-
bration curve.
For this purpose donor blood is taken from an anticubital vein
and anticoagulated with trisodium citrate (final concentration:
13 mmol/1). The blood is centrifuged for 10 minutes at 170 x g
and the supernatant platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is removed. The
.. 25 residual blood is sharply centrifuged off again at 3200 x g and
the supernatant platelet-poor plasma (PPP) is removed.
For the calibration curve for calculating the concentration,
5 ~.l of a solution of compound A is added to 995 ~.l PPP (final
concentration 5000 nmol/1). Further samples of this plasma are
diluted with PPP to a final concentration of 2.5 nmol/1.
To 150 ~.1 of plasma sample from Rhesus monkeys or calibration
curve plasma are added 10 ~.l of 3H-BIBU 52 (final concentration
10 nmol/1) , 10 ~.1 of 14C-sucrose (370 Bq) and 80 ~Cl of PRP and
the mixture is incubated at ambient temperature for 20 minutes.
Then the samples are centrifuged at 2000 x g for 5 minutes and

CA 02337413 2001-O1-12
_ 9 _
the supernatant is removed. 100 ~.l of the supernatant are mixed
with 100 ~.1 of NaOH 0.2 moll, 15 ~Cl of HCl 5 mol/1 and 2 ml of
scintillator and the 3H and 14C radioactivity is measured quan-
titatively. The pellet is dissolved in 200 ~Cl of NaOH 0.2
moll. 180 ~.l thereof are mixed with 15 ~,l of HCl 5 mol/1 and
2 ml of scintillator and the 3H and 14C radioactivity is mea-
sured. The residual plasma remaining in the pellet is deter-
mined from the 14C content and removed. The quantity of bound
ligand is determined from the 3H content. The quantity of bound
ligand is plotted against the concentration of the calibration
curve plasma. The concentration of compound A in the Rhesus
plasma is calculated from the quantity of bound ligand in the
relevant plasma sample compared with the calibration curve.

In view of their biological properties the new compounds of
general formula I according to the invention and their physio-
logically acceptable salts are suitable for fighting or preven-
ting diseases in which larger or smaller cell aggregations
occur or in which cell-matrix interactions are involved, e.g.
in combating or preventing venous and arterial thromboses,
cerebrovascular diseases, pulmonary embolisms, cardiac infarct,
arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis and tumour metastasis and for
treating genetically caused or acquired disorders of cell in-
teractions with one another or with solid structures. Moreover,
they are suitable for parallel therapy in thrombolysis using
fibrinolytics or vascular interventions such as transluminal

dosage is between 0.1 ~.g and 30 mg/kg of body weight, prefe-
rably 1 ~,g to 15 mg/kg of body weight, taken up to 4 times a
day. For this, the compounds of formula I prepared according to
the invention, optionally in conjunction with other active sub-

stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid,
water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/
polyethyleneglycol, propyleneglycol, stearylalcohol, carboxy-
methylcellulose or fatty substances such as hardened fat or
suitable mixtures thereof, in conventional galenic preparations

dropwise, with stirring, to 9.0 g of 4-[2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-
ethyl]-piperidine and 5.2 g of N-ethyl-<iiisopropylamine in
70 ml of acetonitrile, in an ice bath, <~nd the mixture is stir-
red for 18 hours at ambient temperature.. The reaction mixture
is concentrated by evaporation and the residue is quickly dis-
tributed between tert.butylmethyl ether,, ice water and 10 ml of
