Abstract
The design and synthesis of an orally active LMW non-peptide GPIIb/IIIa antagonist, based on a N,N'-bisphenylpiperazine scaffold, is described. The optimal compound showed a high in vitro binding potency (pIC50 = 8.7) in combination with potent oral antithrombotic activity (30-40% inhibition of thrombus growth at 0.3-3 mg/kg) with a duration of action of > 90 min. in a hamster cheek pouch model.
