Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Jul 1;17(13):3647-51. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.04.061. Epub 2007 Apr 25.

Abstract

The synthesis and biological activity of a novel series of thrombin receptor antagonists is described. This series of compounds showed excellent in vitro and in vivo potency. The most potent compound 40 had an IC(50) of 7.6 nM and showed robust inhibition of platelet aggregation in a cynomolgus monkey model after oral administration.
