Design,synthesis and structure-activity relationships of benzoxazinone-based factor Xa inhibitors

A series of benzoxazinone derivatives was designed and synthesized as factor Xa inhibitors. We demonstrated that the naphthyl moiety in the aniline-based compounds 1 and 2 can be replaced with benzene-fused heterobicycles and biaryls to give factor Xa inhibitors with improved trypsin selectivity. The P4 modifications lead to monoamidines which are moderately active. The benzoxazinones 41-45 are potent against factor Xa, retain the improved trypsin selectivity of the corresponding aniline-based compounds, and show strong antithrombotic effect dose responsively.
