The invention also relates to the optically
active forms, the racemates, the diastereomers and also
the hydrates and solvates, e.g. alcoholates, of these
compounds.
The invention was based on the object of
finding novel compounds having valuable properties, in
particular those which can be used for the production
of medicaments.
It has been found that the compounds of the
formula I and their salts have very valuable
pharmacological properties together with good
tolerability. In particular, they exhibit factor Xa-
inhibiting properties and can therefore be employed for



CA 02364908 2001-08-30
- 3 -
the control and prevention of thromboembolic disorders
such as thrombosis, myocardial infarct,
arteriosclerosis, inflammation, apoplexy, angina
pectoris, restenosis after angioplasty and intermittent
claudication.
The compounds of the formula I according to the
invention can furthermore be inhibitors of the clotting
factors factor VIIa, factor IXa and thrombin of the
blood-clotting cascade.
Aromatic amidine derivatives having
antithrombotic action are disclosed, for example, in
EP 0 540 051 B1. Cyclic guanidines for the treatment of
thromboembolic disorders are described, for example, in
WO 97/08165. Aromatic heterocycles having factor Xa-
inhibitory activity are disclosed, for example, in
WO 96/10022. Substituted N-[(aminoiminomethyl)phenyl-
alkyl]azaheterocyclylamides as factor Xa inhibitors are
described in WO 96/40679.
The antithrombotic and anticoagulant effect of
the compounds according to the invention is attributed
to the inhibitory action against the activated clotting
protease, known under the name factor Xa, or to the
inhibition of other activated serin proteases such as
factor VIIa, factor IXa or thrombin.
Factor Xa is one of the proteases which is
involved in the complex process of blood clotting.
Factor Xa catalyses the conversion of prothrombin into
thrombin. Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen into fibrin
monomers, which, after crosslinking, contribute
elementarily to thrombus formation. Activation of
thrombin can lead to the occurrence of thromboembolic
disorders. Inhibition of thrombin, however, can inhibit
the fibrin formation involved in thrombus formation.
The inhibition of thrombin can be measured, for
example, according to the method of G.F. Cousins et
al., in Circulation 1996, 94, 1705-1712.
Inhibition o.f factor Xa can thus prevent
thrombin being formed.



CA 02364908 2001-08-30

The compounds of the formula I according to the
invention, and their salts, intervene in the blood-
clotting process by inhibition of factor Xa and thus
inhibit the formation of thrombi.
The inhibition of factor Xa by the compounds
according to the invention and the measurement of the
anticoagulating and antithrombotic activity can be
determined by customary in vitro or in vivo methods . A
suitable process is described, for example, by
J. Hauptmann et al., in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
1990, 63, 220-223.
The inhibition of factor Xa can be measured,
for example, by' the method of T. Hara et al., in
Thromb. Haemostas. 1994, 71, 314-319.
After binding to tissue factor, the clotting
factor VIIa initiates the extrinsic part of the
clotting cascade and contributes to the activation of
factor X to factor Xa. Inhibition of factor VIIa thus
prevents the formation of factor Xa and thereby
subsequent thrombin formation.
The inhibition of factor VIIa by the compounds
according to the invention and the measurement of the
anticoagulant and antithrombotic activity can be
determined by customary in vitro or in vivo methods . A
customary process for measuring the inhibition of
factor VIIa is described, for example, by H.F. Ronning
et al., in Thrombosis Research 1996, 84, 73-81.
The clotting factor IXa is generated in the
intrinsic clotting cascade and is likewise involved in
the activation of factor X to factor Xa. Inhibition of
factor IXa can therefore prevent factor Xa being formed
in other ways.
The inhibition of factor IXa by the compounds according
to the invention and the measurement of the
anticoagulant and antithrombotic activity can be
determined by customary in vitro or in vivo methods . A
suitable process is described, for example, by J. Chang
et al., in Journal of Biological Chemistry 1998, 273,
12089-12094.

The compounds of the formula I and also the
starting substances for their preparation are otherwise
prepared by methods known per se, such as are described
in the literature (e.g. in the standard works such as
Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie [Methods
of Organic Chemistry], Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart),
namely under reaction conditions which are known and
suitable for the reactions mentioned. In this case, use
can also be made of variants which are known per se,
but not mentioned here in greater detail.
The starting substances can, if desired, also
be formed in situ, such that they are not isolated from
the reaction mixture, but immediately reacted further
to give the compounds of the formula I.
Compounds of the formula I can preferably be
obtained by liberating compounds of the formula I from
one of their functional derivatives by treating with a
solvolysing or hydrogenolysing agent.
Preferred starting substances for solvolysis or
hydrogenolysis are those which otherwise correspond to
the formula I, but instead of one or more free amino
and/or hydroxyl groups contain corresponding protected
amino and/or hydroxyl groups, preferably those which
instead of an H atom which is linked to an N atom carry
an amino protective group, in particular those which
instead of an HN group carry an R'-N group, in which R'
is an amino protective group, and/or those which
instead of the H atom of a hydroxyl group carry a
hydroxyl protective group, e.g. those which correspond
to the formula I, but instead of a group -COOH carry a



CA 02364908 2001-08-30
- 16 -
group -COOR", in which R" is a hydroxyl protective
group.
Preferred starting substances are also the oxadiazole
derivatives, which can be converted into the
corresponding amidino compounds.
The liberation of the amidino group from its
oxadiazole derivative can be cleaved [sic], for
example, by treating with hydrogen in the presence of a
catalyst (e. g. water-moist Raney nickel). Suitable
solvents are those indicated below, in particular
alcohols such as methanol or ethanol, organic acids
such as acetic acid or propionic acid or mixtures
thereof. As a rule, the hydrogenolysis is carried out
at temperatures between approximately 0 and 100° and
pressures between approximately 1 and 200 bar,
preferably at 20-30° (room temperature) and 1-10 bar.
The oxadiazole group is introduced, for
example, by reaction of the cyano compounds with
hydroxylamine and reaction with phosgene, dialkyl
carbonate, chloroformic acid ester, N,N'
carbonyldiimidazole or acetic anhydride.
A number of - identical or different -
protected amino and/or hydroxyl groups can also be
present in the molecule of the starting substance. If
the protective groups present are different from one
another, in many cases they can be removed selectively.
The expression "amino protective group" is
generally known and relates to groups which are
suitable for protecting (for blocking) an amino group
from chemical reactions, but which are easily removable
after the desired chemical reaction has been carried
out at other positions in the molecule. Typical groups
of this type are, in particular, unsubstituted or
substituted acyl, aryl, aralkoxymethyl or aralkyl
groups. Since the ,amino protective groups are removed
after the desired reaction (or reaction sequence),
their nature and size is otherwise uncritical; however,
those having 1-20, in particular 1-8, C atoms are
preferred. The expression "acyl group" is to be



CA 02364908 2001-08-30
- 17 -
interpreted in the widest sense in connection with the
present process. It includes acyl groups derived from
aliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic
carboxylic acids or sulphonic acids and also, in
particular, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl and
especially aralkoxycarbonyl groups. Examples of acyl
groups of this type are alkanoyl such as acetyl,
propionyl, butyryl; aralkanoyl such as phenylacetyl;
aroyl such as benzoyl or toluyl; aryloxyalkanoyl such
as POA; alkoxycarbonyl such as methoxycarbonyl,
ethoxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, BOC
(tert-butyloxycarbonyl), 2-iodoethoxycarbonyl;
aralkyloxycarbonyl such as CBZ ("carbobenzoxy"), 4-
methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, FMOC; arylsulfonyl such as
Mtr. Preferred amino protective groups are BOC and Mtr,
and in addition CBZ, Fmoc, benzyl [sic] and acetyl.
The liberation of the compounds of the formula
I from their functional derivatives is possible -
depending on the protective group used - e.g. using
strong acids, expediently using TFA or perchloric acid,
but also using other strong inorganic acids such as
hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, strong organic
carboxylic acids such as trichloroacetic acid or
sulfonic acids such as benzene- or p-toluenesulfonic
acid. The presence of an additional inert solvent is
possible, but not always necessary. Suitable inert
solvents are preferably organic, for example carboxylic
acids such as acetic acid, ethers such as
tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, amides such as DMF,
halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, in
addition also alcohols such as methanol, ethanol or
isopropanol, and also water. Mixtures of the
abovementioned solvents are additionally suitable. TFA
is preferably used in excess without addition of a
further solvent, perchloric acid in the form of a
mixture of acetic acid and 70~ strength perchloric acid
in the ratio 9:1. The reaction temperatures for the
cleavage are expediently between approximately 0 and



CA 02364908 2001-08-30
- 18 -
approximately 50°, it is preferably carried out between
15 and 30° (room temperature).
The groups BOC, OBut and Mtr can, for example,
preferably be cleaved using TFA in dichloromethane or
using approximately 3 to 5N HCl in dioxane at 15-30°,
the FMOC group using an approximately 5 to 50~ strength
solution of dimethylamine, diethylamine or piperidine
in DMF at 15-30°.
Hydrogenolytically removable protective groups
(e. g. CBZ, benzyl or the release of the amidino group
from its oxadiazole derivative), can be removed, for
example, by treating with hydrogen in the presence of a
catalyst (e.g. 'of a noble metal catalyst such as
palladium, expediently on a support such as carbon).
Suitable solvents here are those indicated above, in
particular, for example, alcohols such as methanol or
ethanol or amides such as DMF. As a rule, the
hydrogenolysis is carried out at temperatures between
approximately 0 and 100° and pressures between
approximately 1 and 200 bar, preferably at 20-30° and
1-10 bar. Hydrogenolysis of the CBZ group is readily
possible, for example, on 5 to 10~ Pd/C in methanol or
using ammonium formate (instead of hydrogen) on Pd/C in
methanol/DMF at 20-30°.
Suitable inert solvents are, for example,
hydrocarbons such as hexane, petroleum ether, benzene,
toluene or xylene; chlorinated hydrocarbons such as
trichloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, carbon
tetrachloride, trifluoromethylbenzene, chloroform or
dichloromethane; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol,
isopropanol, n-propanol, n-butanol or tert-butanol;
ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether,
tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane; glycol ethers such as
ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether (methyl
glycol or ethyl glycol), ethylene glycol dimethyl ether
(diglyme); ketones such as acetone or butanone; amides
such as acetamide, dimethylacetamide, N-
methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or dimethylformamide (DMF);
nitriles such as acetonitrile; sulfoxides such as



CA 02364908 2001-08-30
- 19 -
dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); carbon disulfide; carboxylic
acids such as formic acid or acetic acid; nitro
compounds such as nitromethane or nitrobenzene; esters
such as ethyl acetate or mixtures of the solvents
mentioned.
The biphenyl-SOZNHZ [sic] group is preferably
employed in the form of its tert-butyl derivative. The
tert-butyl group is removed, for example, using TFA
with or without addition of an inert solvent,
preferably with addition of a small amount of anisole
(1-10o by volume).
A cyano group is converted into an amidino
group by reaction with, for example, hydroxylamine and
subsequent reduction of the N-hydroxyamidine using
hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as, for
example, Pd/C.
For the preparation of an amidine of the formula I
(e. g. Ar - phenyl monosubstituted by C(=NH)-NHZ),
ammonia can also be added to a nitrite. The addition is
preferably carried out in several stages in that, in a
manner known per se, a) the nitrite is converted, using
H2S, into a thioamide, which is converted using an
alkylating agent, e.g. CH3I, into the corresponding
S-alkylimidothio ester, which for its part reacts with
NH3 to give the amidine, b) the nitrite is converted
using an alcohol, e.g. ethanol, in the presence of HC1
into the corresponding imido ester and this is treated
with ammonia, or c) the nitrite is reacted with lithium
bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and the product is then
hydrolysed.
The radical -X-R3 is introduced into the
pyrazolone system, where X = CH2, for example, by
reaction of compounds of the formula II

in which Rl, Rz and R4 in each case are those radicals
according to Claim 1 which are not alkylatable and Y
has the meaning indicated in Claim 1, with a compound
of the formula III
R3-CHZ-L III .
In the compounds of the formula III, R3 is a
radical which is not alkylatable according to Claim 1,
such as, for example, a phenyl radical substituted by
5-methyl[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl and in which L is Cl, Br,
I or a free or reactive functionally modified OH group.
L is preferably 'Cl, Br, I or a reactive modified OH
group such as, for example, an activated ester, an
imidazolide or alkylsulfonyloxy having 1-6 C atoms
(preferably methylsulfonyloxy) or arylsulfonyloxy
having 6-10 C atoms (preferably phenyl- or p-
tolylsulfonyloxy).
The pyrazolone ring system is synthesized
according to known methods by reaction of a suitable ~3
keto ester with hydrazine or a hydrazine derivative.
It is additionally possible to convert a
compound of the formula I into another compound of the
formula I by converting one or more radicals R1, Rz, R3
and/or R4 into one or more radicals Rl, Rz, R3 and/or R4,
for example, by acylating an amino group or reducing
nitro groups (for example by hydrogenation on Raney
nickel or Pd-carbon in an inert solvent such as
methanol or ethanol) to give amino groups.
Esters can be hydrolysed, for example, using
acetic acid or using NaOH or KOH in water, water-THF or
water-dioxane at temperatures between 0 and 100°.
In addition, free amino groups can be acylated
in a customary manner using an acid chloride or
anhydride or alkylated using an unsubstituted or
substituted alkyl halide, expediently in an inert
solvent such as dichloromethane or THF and/or in the
presence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine at
temperatures between -60 and +30°.



CA 02364908 2001-08-30

A base of the formula I can be converted into
the associated acid addition salt using an acid, for
example by reaction of equivalent amounts of the base
and of the acid in an inert solvent such as ethanol and
subsequent evaporation. Acids which are particularly
suitable for this reaction are those which yield
physiologically acceptable salts. Thus, it is possible
to use inorganic acids, e.g. sulfuric acid, nitric
acid, hydrohalic acids such as hydrochloric acid or
hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acids such as
orthophosphoric acid, sulfamic acid, in addition
organic acids, in particular aliphatic, alicyclic,
araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic mono- or
polybasic carboxylic, sulfonic or sulfuric acids, e.g.
formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, pivalic acid,
diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid,
pimelic acid, fumaric acid, malefic acid, lactic acid,
tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid,
ascorbic acid, nicotinic acid, isonicotinic acid,
methane- or ethanesulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid,
2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid,
p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenemono- and
-disulfonic acids, laurylsulfuric acid. Salts with
physiologically unacceptable acids, e.g. picrates, can
be used for the isolation and/or purification of the
compounds of the formula I.
On the other hand, compounds of the formula I
can be converted using bases (e. g. sodium or potassium
hydroxide or carbonate) into the corresponding metal
salts, in particular alkali metal or alkaline earth
metal salts, or into the corresponding ammonium salts.
Physiologically acceptable organic bases, such as, for
example, ethanolamine, can also be used.
On account of their molecular structure,
compounds of the formula I according to the invention
can be chiral and can correspondingly occur in various
enantiomeric forms. They can therefore be present in
racemic or in optically active form.



CA 02364908 2001-08-30
- 22 -
Since the pharmaceutical activity of the
racemates or of the stereoisomers of the compounds
according to the invention can differ, it may be
desirable to use the enantiomers. In these cases, the
final product or else even the intermediates can be
separated into enantiomeric compounds by chemical or
physical measures known to the person skilled in the
art or even employed as such in the synthesis.
In the case of racemic amines, diastereomers
are formed from the mixture by reaction with an
optically active resolving agent. Suitable resolving
agents are, for example, optically active acids, such
as the R and S forms of tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric
acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic
acid, lactic acid, suitably N-protected amino acids
(e.g. N-benzoylproline or N-benzenesulfonylproline) or
the various optically active camphorsulfonic acids.
Chromatographic resolution of enantiomers with the aid
of an optically active resolving agent (e. g.
dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine, cellulose triacetate or
other derivatives of carbohydrates or chirally
derivatized methacrylate polymers immobilized on silica
gel) is also advantageous. Suitable eluents for this
are aqueous or alcoholic solvent mixtures such as, for
example, hexane/isopropanol/acetonitrile, e.g. in the
ratio 82:15:3.
The invention additionally relates to the use
of the compounds of the formula I and/or their
physiologically acceptable salts for the production of
pharmaceutical preparations, in particular by a non
chemical route. In this connection, they can be brought
into a suitable dosage form together with at least one
solid, liquid and/or semi-liquid vehicle or excipient
and, if appropriate, in combination with one or more
further active compounds.
The invention additionally relates to
pharmaceutical preparations comprising at least one
compound of the formula I and/or one of its
physiologically acceptable salts.

These preparations can be used as medicaments
in human or veterinary medicine. Suitable vehicles are
organic or inorganic substances which are suitable for
enteral (e.g. oral) or parenteral administration or
topical application and do not react with the novel
compounds, for example water, vegetable oils, benzyl
alcohols, alkylene glycols, polyethylene glycols,
glycerol triacetate, gelatin, carbohydrates such as
lactose or starch, magnesium stearate, talc, petroleum
jelly. Tablets, pills, coated tablets, capsules,
powders, granules, syrups, juices or drops, in
particular, are used for oral administration,
suppositories are used for rectal administration,
solutions, preferably oily or aqueous solutions, in
addition suspensions, emulsions or implants, are used
for parenteral administration, and ointments, creams or
powders are used for topical application. The novel
compounds can also be lyophilized and the lyophilizates
obtained used, for example, for the production of
injection preparations. The preparations indicated can
