Oxyguanidines. Part 2: Discovery of a novel orally active thrombin inhibitor through structure-based drug design and parallel synthesis

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Jul 16;14(14):3727-31. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.05.002.

Abstract

Through structure-based drug design and parallel synthesis, we have discovered a novel series of nonpeptidic phenyl-based thrombin inhibitors using oxyguanidines as guanidine bioisosteres. These compounds have been found to be highly potent, highly selective, and orally bioavailable.
