derivatives of
general formula

Image

wherein

A, Ar, n, X, Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, R1 and R5 are defined as in claim 1, the
prodrugs, the
tautomers, stereoisomers, mixtures thereof and the salts thereof, particularly
the
physiologically acceptable salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids or
bases which
have valuable properties. Thus, the compounds of the above general formula I
wherein
R5 does not contain a cyano group have, in particular, an antithrombotic
effect and a
selective factor Xa-inhibiting effect with generally improved compatibility.
The
compounds of the above general formula I wherein R5 contains a cyano group are
valuable intermediate products for preparing the antithrombotic compounds of
general
formula I.

In the reactions described above any reactive group present such as hydroxy,

conventional protecting groups which are cleaved again after the reaction (cf.
also T.
Greene, Protective Groups in cJrganic Synthesis, yl/iley Interscience, New

trimethylsilyl,
acetyl, benzoyl, tert.butyl, trityl, benzyl or tetrahydropyranyl group,
suitable protecting groups for a carboxyl group might be the trimethylsilyl,

A trimethyfsilyl group is cleaved for example by the addition of
tetrabutylammonium
fluoride in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or by the addition of pyridinium
fluoride or
using potassium carbonate in methanol.
However, a benzyl, methoxybenzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl group is cleaved
hydrogenolytically, for example, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of a
catalyst such
as palladium/charcoal in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate,
dimethyfformamide, dimethylformamide/acetone or glacial acetic acid,
optionally with
the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid at temperatures between 0
and 50°C,
~o but preferably at ambient temperature, and at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to T
bar,
preferably, however, 3 to 5 bar.
A tert.butyl or tert.butyloxycarbonyi group is preferably cleaved by treating
with an acid
such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid, opfiionally using a solvent
such as
~5 water, methyfene chloride, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane.

of a base
such as 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane at temperatures between 20 and
70°C.
25 The compounds of general formulae III to X used as starting materials, some
of which
are known from the literature, are obtained by methods known from the
literature and
the preparation thereof is also described in the Examples.
For example, a compound of general formula III is either commercially
obtainable or
3o can easily be prepared following procedures known from the literature;
a compound of general formula IV may be obtained by reacting a corresponding
aniline,
phenol or thiophenol with a C~~.-alkynyl halide, and

the compounds of general formulae V, Vl, VII and IX may conveniently be
obtained by
conventional methods as described in the present invention.
s l~lloreover, the compounds of general formula I obtained may be resolved
into their
enantiomers andlor diastereomers and the compounds. of general formula I
obtained
with a double bond may be resolved into their cisltrans isomers.
Thus, for example, the compounds of general formula I obtained which occur as
~o racemates may be separated by methods known per sE; (cf. Allinger N. L, and
Eliel E. L.
in °'Topics in Stereochemistry°', Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience,
19r 1 } into their optical
enantiomers and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetric
carbon
atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical-
chemical
differences using methods known per se, e.g. by chromatography and/or
fractional
~5 crystallisation, and, if these compounds are obtained in racemic form, they
may
subsequently be resolved into the enantiomers 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
2o substance 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 in solubility, whilst the free antipodes may be
released
from the pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable
agents.
25 Optically active acids in common use are e.g. the ~- and L-forms of
tartaric acid or
dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, rnandeiic acrd,
camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid. An
optically active
alcohol may be, for example, (+) or (-)-menthol and an optically active acyl
group in
amides, for example, may be a (+)- or (-)-menthyloxycarbonyl.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I may be converted info the salts
thereof,
particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts
with
inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may be used for this purpose include
for
CA 02445571 2003-10-29




-3~-
example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, methanesulphonic
acid,
phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid,
tartaric acid or
malefic acid.
s Moreover, if the new compounds of formula 1 contain 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 physiologically acceptable
salts
thereof. Suitable bases for this purpose include for example sodium hydroxide,
potassium hydroxide, cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine and
triethanolamine.
As already mentioned, the new compounds of general formula I and the salts
thereof
have valuable properties.
~5 Thus, the compounds of general formula 1 wherein R~ does not contain a
cyano group
have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an antithrombotic
activity which
is preferably based on an effect on factor Xa, for example on a factor Xa-
inhibiting
activity and on an inhibitory effect on related serine proteases such as e.g.
thrombin,
trypsin, urokinase, factor VIIa, factor IXa, factor Xla and factor Xl la. The
compounds
20 of general formula I wherein R5 contains a cyano group constitute valuable
intermediate
products for preparing the compounds of general formula I wherein R~ denotes
an
optionally substituted aminomethyi or amidino group.
The compounds of Examples 1 to 45 of the present application were investigated
for
25 their effect on the inhibition of factor Xa as follows:
Method: Enzyme-kinetic measurement with chromogenic substrate. The quantity of
p-
nitroaniline (pNA) released from the colourless chromogenic substrate by human
factor
Xa is determined photometrically at 4Q5 nm. It is proportional to the activity
of the
3o enzyme used. The inhibition of the enzyme activity by the test substance
(in relation to
the solvent control) is determined at various concentrations of test substance
and from
this the lC5a is calculated, as the cancentration which inhibits the factor Xa
used by
50 %.

physiologically

arterial thrombotic diseases, such as for example the treatment of deep leg
vein
thrombosis, for preventing reoccfusions after bypass operations or angioplasty

growth of tumours and inflammatory processes, e.g: in the treatment of
pulmonary
fibrosis, for preventing and treating rheumatoid arthritis, for preventing and
treating
