These compounds have an effect of inhibiting activated blood-coagulation factor X, and they are useful as agents for preventing or treating various diseases caused by thrombi or emboli.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to new benzamidine derivatives which can be orally administrated to exhibit a strong anticoagulant effect by reversibly inhibiting activated blood-coagulation factor X; anticoagulants containing them as active ingredients; and agents for preventing or treating diseases caused by thrombi or emboli. These diseases include, for example, cerebrovascular disorders such as cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and subarachnoidal hemorrhage (vasospasm); ischemic heart diseases such as acute and chronic myocardial infarction, unstable angina and coronary thrombolysis; pulmonary vascular disorders such as pulmonary infarction and pulmonary embolism; peripheral obliteration; deep vein thrombosis; disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome; thrombus formation after an artificial blood vessel-forming operation or artificial valve substitution; re-occlusion and re-stenosis after a coronary bypass-forming operation; re-occlusion and re-stenosis after reconstructive operation for the blood circulation such as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or percutaneous transluminal coronary recanalization (PTCR); and thrombus formation in the course of the extracorporeal circulation.

As the habit of life is being westernized and people of advanced ages are increasing in Japan, thrombotic and embolismic patients such as those suffering from myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis and peripheral thrombosis are increasing in number year by year, and the treatment of patients with these diseases is becoming more and more important in the society. Anticoagulation treatment is included in the internal treatments for the remedy and prevention of thrombosis, like radiotherapy and antithrombocytic therapy.

Antithrombins were developed as thrombus-formation inhibitors in the prior art. However, it has been known that since thrombin not only controls the activation of fibrinogen to form fibrin, which is the last step of the coagulation reaction, but also deeply relates to the activation and coagulation of blood platelets, the inhibition of the action of thrombin causes a danger of causing hemorrhage. In addition, when antithrombins are orally administered, the bioavailability thereof is low. At present, no antithrombin which can be orally administered is available on the market.

Since the activated blood coagulation factor X is positioned at the juncture of an exogenous coagulation cascade reaction and an endogenous coagulation cascade reaction and in the upstream of thrombin, it is possible to inhibit the coagulation system more efficiently and specifically, than the thrombin inhibition, by inhibiting the factor X (THROMBOSIS RESEARCH, Vol. 19, pages 339 to 349; 1980).

An acrylic acid derivative (28) can be derived from the obtained compound (27) by, for example, condensing it with ethyl acrylate or the like by, for example, Heck reaction in dimethylformamide or the like as the solvent. The protecting group on the nitrogen of the obtained compound (28) can be removed in, for example, an acidic solution such as 4 N solution of hydrogen chloride in dioxane to obtain a corresponding amine (29).

Prot in the above formulae represents a protecting group such as Boc group or Z group, and Hal represents a halogen atom.

Then, the amine (29) is reacted with a condensing agent in the presence of a base such as triethylamine in a solvent such as dimethylformamide. The amine is thus condensed with a carboxylic acid to obtain an amide (30).

Cyano group in the amide (30) obtained as described above can be converted into amidino group by reacting amide (30) with an alcohol such as ethanol containing a hydrogen halide such as hydrogen chloride and then reacting the reaction product with an ammonium salt such as ammonium carbonate. By these reaction steps, benzamidine derivative (31) of general formula (1-1) wherein L is represented by formula (2), Y is represented by formula (10) and Z is represented by formula (18) can be produced.

Benzamidine derivative (32) of general formula (1-1) wherein L is represented by formula (2), Y is represented by formula (10) and Z is represented by formula (17) can be produced by reacting benzamidine derivative (31) in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/carbon in an alcohol such as methanol as the solvent in hydrogen atmosphere and then hydrolyzing the reaction product in an acidic aqueous solution such as concentrated hydrochloric acid.
