Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to compounds which are antagonists of the intrinsic clotting pathway by binding to and inhibiting the function of factor IX.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hemostasis, the arrest of bleeding from an injured blood vessel, requires the concerted activity of vascular, platelet, and plasma factors to eventually form a hemostatic seal or a blood clot. In normal hemostasis, the combined activity of these factors is counterbalanced by regulatory mechanisms to limit the accumulation of platelets and fibrin in the area of injury.


Upon injury to a blood vessel, vascular factors reduce blood flow from the blood vessel by local vasoconstriction and compression of injured vessels. At the same time, platelets adhere to the site of vessel wall injury and form aggregates called hemostatic plugs, which form the first key element of the hemostatic seal. Platelets also release factors that provide surface membrane sites and components for the formation of enzyme/cofactor complexes in blood coagulation reactions. Through a series of interacting and propagating zymogen activations, the activated form of one plasma factor catalyzes the activation of the next plasma factor. This cascade of blood coagulation reactions eventually forms a fibrin clot. The fibrin clot, an insoluble fibrin matrix that radiates from and anchors the hemostatic plug, is the second key element of the hemostatic seal


Specifically, the cascade of blood coagulation reactions discussed involvse two interdependent pathways, an intrinsic pathway and an extrinsic pathway. Each pathway ultimately catalyzes the proteolytic activation of factor X to factor Xa.


Damage to the blood vessel or a negatively charged surface initiates blood clotting by the intrinsic pathway. As seen in FIG. 1, the major components of the intrinsic pathway include factor VIII, a non-enzymatic co-factor, and factors IX and XI, zymogen serine proteases. The initiation of the intrinsic pathway results in the activation of factor XI to XIa. Factor XIa, as well as the presence of the factor VIIa/tissue factor complex involved in the extrinsic pathway, catalyzes the activation of factor IX to factor IXa. The presence of factor IXa, in combination with the activated form of factor VIII on an appropriate phospholipid surface, results in the formation of a tenase complex (10). The tenase complex catalyzes the formation of factor Xa from its zymogen, factor X.


Exposure of blood to injured tissue initiates blood clotting by the extrinsic pathway. As is shown in FIG. 1, the major components of the extrinsic pathway are factor VII, a zymogen serine protease, and tissue factor, a membrane bound protein. Tissue factor serves as the requisite non-enzymatic co-factor for factor VII. The initiation of the extrinsic pathway is thought to be an autocatalytic event resulting from the activation of factor VII by trace levels of activated factor VII (factor VIIa), both of which are bound to newly exposed tissue factor on membrane surfaces at sites of vascular damage (20). The factor VIIa/tissue factor complex directly catalyzes the formation of factor Xa from factor X.


Once the initial intrinsic or extrinsic cascade results in the activation of factor X, factor Xa catalyzes the penultimate step in the blood coagulation cascade, the formation of serine protease thrombin. As seen in FIG. 2, thrombin formation occurs when a prothrombinase complex, comprising of factor Xa, the non-enzymatic co-factor Va and the substrate prothrombin, is assembled on an appropriate phospholipid surface (30). Once formed, thrombin functions as part of a feedback loop, controlling the activation of factors V and VIII. It additionally catalyzes both the activation of factor VIII and the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. Finally, the factor VIIIa interacts with fibrin to catalyze the formation of a thrombus, or crosslinked fibrin clot.


In normal hemostasis, the process of clot formation (blood coagulation) and clot dissolution (fibrinolysis) is delicately balanced. A slight imbalance between the processes of clot formation and dissolution can lead to excessive bleeding or thrombosis. Many significant disease states are related to abnormal hemostasis. With respect to the coronary arterial vasculature, abnormal thrombus formation due to the rupture of an established atherosclerotic plaque is the major cause of acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. Moreover, treatment of an occlusive coronary thrombus by either thrombolytic therapy or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is often accompanied by an acute thrombotic reclosure of the affected vessel which requires immediate resolution. With respect to the venous vasculature, a high percentage of patients undergoing major surgery in the lower extremities or the abdominal area suffer from thrombus formation in the venous vasculature which can result in reduced blood flow to the affected extremity and a predisposition to pulmonary embolism. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy commonly occurs within both vascular systems during septic shock, certain viral infections and cancer and is characterized by the rapid consumption of coagulation factors and systemic coagulation which results in the formation of life-threatening thrombi occurring throughout the vasculature leading to widespread organ failure.


Pathogenic thrombosis in the arterial vasculature is a major clinical concern in today's medicine. It is the leading cause of acute myocardial infarction which is one of the leading causes of death in the western world. Recurrent arterial thrombosis also remains one of the leading causes of failure following enzymatic or mechanical recanalization of occluded coronary vessels using thrombolytic agents or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), respectively [Ross, A. M., Thrombosis in Cardiovascular Disorder, p. 327, W.B. Saunders Co. (Fuster, V. and Verstraete, M. edit. 1991); Califf, R. M. and Willerson, J. T., Id. at p 389]. In contrast to thrombotic events in the venous vasculature, arterial thrombosis is the result of a complex interaction between fibrin formation resulting from the blood coagulation cascade and cellular components, particularly platelets, which make up a large percentage of arterial thrombi. Heparin, the most widely used clinical anticoagulant administered intravenously, has not been shown to be universally effective in the treatment or prevention of acute arterial thrombosis or rethrombosis [Prins, M. H. and Hirsh, J., J. Am. Coll. Cardiol., 67: 3A (1991)].


Besides the unpredictable, recurrent thrombotic reocclusion which commonly occurs following PTCA, a profound restenosis of the recanalized vessel occurs in 30 to 40% of patients 1 to 6 months following this procedure [Califf, R. M. et al., J. Am. Coll. Cardiol., 17: 2B (1991)]. These patients require further treatment with either a repeat PTCA or coronary artery bypass surgery to relieve the newly formed stenosis. Restenosis of a mechanically damaged vessel is not a thrombotic process but instead is the result of a hyperproliferative response in the surrounding smooth muscle cells which over time results in a decreased luminal diameter of the affected vessel due to increased muscle mass. Id. As for arterial thrombosis, there is currently no effective pharmacologic treatment for the prevention of vascular restenosis following mechanical recanalization.


Numerous strategies have been developed for the treatment of thrombotic disorders. Many antithrombotic therapies are based on interference in the hemostatic system. This approach carries the inherent risk of bleeding, since the hemostatic system is no longer fully responsive to potential injury. Therefore, antithrombotic benefits are normally associated with antihemostatic risks. In attempts to improve the benefit-to-risk ratio, antithrombotic agents are continuously being developed. Various antithrombotic strategies include administering general inhibitors of thrombin formation such as heparin or vitamin K antagonists; administering specific thrombin inhibitors; administering specific factor Xa inhibitors; and administering inhibitors of platelet activation and adhesion.


Evaluation of current antithrombotic strategies in terms of antithrombotic benefits versus antihemostatic risks reveals that the benefit-to-risk ratio tends to be more favorable for strategies that interfere with one specific step rather than in a more general phase of the hemostatic system [L. A. Harker, Biomedical Progress vol 8, 1995, 17–26]. For example, the development of inhibitors specific for factor Xa is an improvement from general and specific thrombin inhibitors. But, this approach still blocks the common (intrinsic and extrinsic) pathway of thrombin generation (see FIG. 1), and thereby thrombin-dependent platelet activation. Thus, a need exists for more specific antithrombotic agents that selectively inhibit one single hemostatic pathway, while leaving other pathways unaffected.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:



FIG. 1 is a diagram depicting the steps involved in the intrinsic and extrinsic blood clotting cascades, from time of trauma to the activation of factor X.



FIG. 2 is a diagram depicting the steps following initial intrinsic and extrinsic blood clotting cascades, beginning with the formation of Xa and culminating in the formation of a thrombus.





DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Two blood coagulation pathways are associated with normal hemostasis: intrinsic and extrinsic. These two coagulation pathways converge in the formation of factor Xa. But, these two coagulation pathways are interdependent because complete elimination of the intrinsic pathway leads to uncontrolled bleeding. For example, Type B hemophiliacs completely lack factor IX or factor IX function and have a phenotype characterized by a severe bleeding disorder. Thus, the direct factor VIIa/tissue factor activation of factor X, which bypasses the need for factor VIII and factor IX, is insufficient for normal hemostasis. Conversely, formation of the factor VIIIa/IXa phospholipid factor X activator (tenase complex) (20) is essential for normal hemostasis.


Selective inhibition of the intrinsic pathway of coagulation with a factor IX antagonist can provide a method to inhibit the clotting cascade associated with some surgery, stroke, myocardial infarction and hemodialysis while leaving the clotting pathway associated with external lesions such as trauma or abscess intact. Factor IX is primarily associated with the intrinsic clotting pathway. A specific antagonist of factor IX should have a therapeutic benefit in diseases associated with intrinsic pathway clotting by inhibiting intravascular thrombosis. Also, a specific antagonist of factor IX should not have the side effect of unwanted or uncontrollable bleeding by impairing extravascular hemostasis associated with wound healing.


Some point mutations in factor IX partially inhibit its function and result in a mild or moderate phenotype manifested as a non-life threatening bleeding disorder [Bowen, D. J., J. Clin. Pathol: Mol. Pathol. 55:1–18 (2002)]. These point mutations cause factor IX to behave as if it were subject to a partial antagonist. In the presence of a partial antagonist, factor IX should maintain some activity, even at saturation levels of the partial antagonist. As a result of the point mutations in factor IX, its activity is reduced along with clotting associated with the intrinsic pathway, but some residual activity remains that leaves the extrinsic pathway intact.


The present invention provides compositions and methods that inhibit the clotting activity of factor IX. Inhibition of hemostasis with agents that selectively inhibit the intrinsic pathway of factor X activation should leave the extrinsic pathway intact and allow the formation of small, but hemostatically important amounts of factor Xa and thrombin.


Embodiments of the present invention provide compounds of Formula (I) as depicted below. Embodiments of the present invention also provide methods of the preparation of compounds of Formula (I); pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I); and methods for the use of compounds of Formula (I) and pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I) in treating human or animal disorders.

Examples of such alcohol-protecting groups include the 2-tetrahydropyranyl group, 2-ethoxyethyl group, the trityl group, the allyl group, the trimethylsilylethoxymethyl group, the 2,2,2-trichloroethyl group, the benzyl group, and the trialkylsilyl group, examples of such being trimethylsilyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, phenyldimethylsilyl, triiospropylsilyl and thexyldimethylsilyl. The choice of carboxyl protecting group employed is not critical so long as the derivatized alcohol group is stable to the condition of subsequent reaction(s) on other positions of the compound of the formulae and can be removed at the desired point without disrupting the remainder of the molecule. Further examples of groups referred to by the above terms are described by J. W. Barton, “Protective Groups In Organic Chemistry”, J. G. W. McOmie, Ed., Plenum Press, New York, N.Y., 1973, and T. W. Greene, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y., 1981. The related term “protected carboxyl” defines a carboxyl group substituted with a carboxyl-protecting group as discussed above.

Thus, in an embodiment, the following compounds were synthesized according to the Schemes described herein.


General Procedure A:


To a solution of a carboxylic acid (1.0–1.5 mmol) in DMF (6 mL) was added an amino acid methyl ester (1.0–1.5 mmol), HBTU (1.0–1.5 mmol), and DIEA (2.0–3.0 mmol) and the mixture was stirred overnight. After completion of the reaction, sufficient amount of water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 ml). The combined organic layer was washed with water and brine, and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the amide, which was used for further transformation without further purification or purified by flash chromatography.


General Procedure B:


To a mixture of phenol and the aryl fluoride (2 eq) in DMF was added solid potassium carbonate (10 eq), and the mixture was heated at 80° C. for 12 h. After completion of the reaction, sufficient amount of water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum and the crude material obtained was purified by flash chromatography to afford the desired aryl ethers.


General Procedure C:


To a solution of ester in THF, CH3OH (4:1), 2N-lithium hydroxide solution (5 eq) was added, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and then warmed to room temperature. After completion of the reaction, 2N HCl was used to neutralize the base, extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the product.


General Procedure D:


To a solution of phenyl bromide in DME or Toluene were added corresponding boronic acid (5 eq), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.5% eq), 2N Na2CO3 solution (5 eq). The mixture was heated at 75° C. for 12 h. After completion of the reaction, solvent was evaporated in vacuo. During the reaction, most of the ester was hydrolyzed to the corresponding acid. Therefore, crude product so obtained was re-esterfied by dissolving it in CH3OH containing 1% of HCl. The mixture was refluxed for 6 h and after the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, CH2Cl2) to provide the desired ester. The resulting ester was hydrolyzed as described in procedure C yielding the acid.


General Procedure E:


To a solution of an aniline (1.0 mmol) in DCE (10 mL) was added an aldehyde (2.0–2.2 mmol), acetic acid (3.0 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (2.5 mmol) or sodium cyanoborohydride and the mixture was stirred overnight. After completion of the reaction, 50 mL of DCM was added and the organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the amine, which was purified by flash chromatography.


General Procedure F:


To a solution of an aniline (1.0 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was added a sulfonyl chloride (1.0 mmol), and pyridine (10.0 mmol) and the mixture was stirred overnight. After completion of the reaction, 50 mL of DCM was added and the organic layer was washed with 1N HCl, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the sulfonamide, which was purified by flash chromatography.


General Procedure G:


A flask is charged with phenol or aniline (1.0 equiv), Cu(OAc)2 (1.0 equiv), arylboronic acid (1.0–3.0), and powdered 4 Å molecular sieves. The reaction mixture is diluted with CH2Cl2 to yield a solution approximately 0.1M in phenol or aniline, and the Et3N (5.0 equiv) is added. After stirring the colored heterogeneous reaction mixture for 24 h at 25° C. under ambient atmosphere, the resulting slurry is filtered and the diaryl ether or diaryl amine is isolated from the organic filtrate by flash chromatography.


General Procedure H:


To a solution of a phenol (1.0 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added an alkyl halide (1.2 mmol) (a catalytic amount of NaI is added for alkyl chlorides), and potassium carbonate (2.5 mmol) and the mixture heated at 70° C. overnight. After completion of the reaction, 5 mL of ethyl acetate and 5 mL of water was added. The organic layer was washed with water, and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuum to afford the ether, which was purified by flash chromatography.


General Procedure I:


To a solution of ester in THF was added lithium hydroxide (3–4 eq), water, and methanol. The ratio of THF/water/methanol is 4:1:1. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 1–1.5 h. A 10% solution of citric acid was added to adjust the pH between 6–7. Ethyl acetate was added and the organic layer is separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the product.


General Procedure J:


To a stirring solution of an aniline (2 mmol) dissolved in DCM containing pyridine (4 mmol) was added acid chloride (2.5 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h, extracted with DCM, washed with 1M HCl and brine evaporation followed by column chromatography purification gave amide.

To this was added a 1.0 N solution of NaCNBH3 in THF (1.5 eq., 6.87 mL, 6.87 mmol) in small portions and the reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. overnight. The solvent was removed and the residue was dissolved in water and DCM and partitioned. The organic portion was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (2:1 EtOAc:Hexanes, EtOAc) to provide (2S)-[(2-biphenyl-4-yl-(1S)-1-methoxycarbonyl-ethylamino)-methyl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.440 g, 72%) as a clear colorless oil.


A portion of the product (584 mg, 1.33 mmol), dissolved in 13 mL dry CH2Cl2, was subsequently condensed with 4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl chloride (1.2 eq., 455 mg, 1.60 mmol) (synthesized from 4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid by heating at reflux in a neat solution of thionyl chloride, followed by removal of excess reagent and volatiles in vacuo) in dry CH2Cl2 (13 mL), in the presence of triethylamine (3.0 eq., 3.99 mmol, 0.56 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at that temperature and gradually allowed to warm to ambient temperature until the reaction was shown to be complete by TLC. The solvent was removed and the crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography (1:1 EtOAc:hexanes) to afford the title compound, (2S)-{[(2-biphenyl-4-yl-(1S)-methoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-(4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-amino]-methyl}-(2S)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (600 mg, 76%), as a white solid.

3-Biphenyl-4-yl-(2S)-[[(2R)-1-(2-thiophen-2-yl-acetyl)-pyrrolidine-2-methyl]-(4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-amino]-propionic acid

The synthesis of the title compound proceeds through the intermediacy of (2S)-{[(2-biphenyl-4-yl-(1S)methoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-(4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-amino]-methyl}-(2R)-pyrrolidinium chloride, similar in all respects to the intermediate in the synthesis of Example 570, (2S)-{[(2-biphenyl-4-yl-(1S)-methoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-(4′ trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-amino]-methyl}-(2S)-pyrrolidinium chloride, in all respects except for the stereochemical orientation at the 2-position of the pyrrolidine ring. Thus, the synthesis of this intermediate proceeds as described in Examples 570 and 571 with the exception that (2S)-formyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester is replaced with (2R)-formyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester in the first step of the sequence.

The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at rt then the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography (3:2 EtOAc:hexanes) to afford the desired secondary amine, 3-Biphenyl-4-yl-(2S)-(2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-ethylamino)-propionic acid methyl ester (775 mg, 31%).


This secondary amine (803 mg, 2.02 mmol) was reacted with 4′-rifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl chloride (1.24 eq., 713 mg, 2.50 mmol) (see Example 591 for preparation) in 40 mL anhydrous CH2Cl2 in the presence of triethylamine (3.0 eq., 0.84 mL, 6.06 mmol) at 0° C. for one hour, then the mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred overnight. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography (1:1 EtOAc:hexanes) to afford 3-biphenyl-4-yl-(2S)-[(2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-ethyl)-(4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-amino]-propionic acid methyl ester (996 mg, 76%). A portion of this compound (395 mg, 0.61 mmol) was placed in a dry flask, capped with a septum and purged with dry N2. The flask was charged with 10 mL of 4N HCl/dioxane solution and stirred at r.t. for 1 hour, at which point the reaction was shown to be complete by TLC. The volatiles were removed and the residue was dissolved in ether and triturated with hexanes. The crude product, 2-[(2-biphenyl-4-yl-(1S)-methoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-(4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-amino]-ethyl-ammonium chloride (356 mg, 100%) was used without further purification.


To a mixture of 2-[(2-biphenyl-4-yl-(1S)-methoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-(4′-trifluoro-methyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-amino]-ethyl-ammonium chloride (40 mg, 69 mmol) and 2-acetyl-amino-4-methyl-thiazole-5-sulfonyl chloride (3.0 eq., 52.4 mg, 0.21 mmol), in 2 mL anhydrous CH2Cl2 at 0° C., was added pyridine (5.0 eq., 28 μL, 0.34 mmol) and DMAP (0.1 eq., 0.8 mg, 6.9 μmol) and the mixture was allowed to gradually warm to ambient temperature and stirred overnight. The solvent was removed and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography (EtOAc) to afford the title compound, (2S)-[[2-(2-Acetylamino-4-methyl-thiazole-5-sulfonylamino)-ethyl]-(4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-carbonyl)-amino]-3-biphenyl-4-yl-propionic acid methyl ester (42 mg, 80%).

Biological Assay


The following assay methods are utilized to identify compounds of Formula (I) that are effective in antagonizing the function of factor IX. Compounds of Formula (I) are effective in antagonizing the function of factor IX and are useful as inhibitors of the intrinsic clotting pathway.


General Assay Procedure


Factor IXa Florescence Based Molecular Assay:


Method where a Fluorescent product is generated based on factor IXa cleaving the substrate CH3SO2-(D)-CHG-Gly-Arg-AMC AcOH (methyl sulfonyl-D-cyclohexylglycylglycyl-arginine-7-amino-4-methylcoumarid monoacetate) available from Centerchem, Inc.


12 μL of 4× compound dilutions (final 1% DMSO) is incubated for 10 min at room temp with 24 μL FIXa (HCIXA-0050 Haemotologic Technologies Inc. Essex Junction, Vt.) 3.9 units/mL in Buffer containing 80% Ethylene glycol, 10 mM CaCl2, 200 mM NaCl, and 100 mM Tris (pH 7.4). The reaction is started by the addition of 12 μL of 0.5 mM FIXa substrate (Pefa-10148 from Pentapharm Basel, Switzerland). After incubating the reaction for 10 min at room temp, the plate is read in a Spectromax Gemini fluorescence plate reader with and exitation wavelenth of 340 nm and an emmision wavelength of 440 nm. From the varying concentrations of test compound, IC50's are then calculated. The Examples in Table 1 inhibit Factor IX in this assay with IC50 of less than 30 micromolar.


Factor IXa In Vitro Clotting Assay:


Method where inhibition of clotting using citrated human plasma with exogenous human factor IXa is measured by turbidity.


Potential inhibitors of factor IX are added to a mixture of citrated human plasma, Cephalin, and human factor IX to give a final concentration of 0.8 U/ml. The mixture is allowed to incubate at 37° C. for 10 minutes. Clotting is initiated by the addition of 10 mM CaCl2. The optical density is measured at 405 nm for 5 minutes. Relative IC50's as well as maximum efficacy are calculated.


A first control assay is performed using a mixture of citrated human plasma, Cephalin, and human factor IX. A second control assay is performed using a mixture of citrated human plasma and Cephalin. Clotting for the two control assays is initiated by the addition of CaCl2, and the optical density is measured at 405 nm for 5 minutes.


Analysis of graphs of optical density versus time for the two control assays and various concentrations of compounds of Formula (I) demonstrates that factor IX decreases the time for Ca+2 induced clotting of human serum. Analysis also demonstrates that compounds of Formula (I) prolong the Ca+2 induced clotting time in the presence of factor IX.


Factor Xa in vitro clotting assays were performed using compounds of Formula (I) under the same or similar conditions as the factor IXa in vitro clotting assay. These data demonstrate that compounds of Formula (I) are partial inhibitors or partial antagonists of factor IX. For example, where a range of concentrations of a compound of Formula (I) in the presence of factor IX prolong the Ca+2 induced clotting time from 700 seconds to 1500 seconds, the same range of concentrations of a compound of Formula (I) in the presence of factor Xa did not alter the Ca+2 induced clotting time from 200 seconds.
