    the tautomers, the enantiomers, the diastereomers, the mixtures thereof and the salts thereof are particularly preferred.


Within the scope of the present application, where applicable, the “isomer”, “stereoisomer”, “diastereomer”, “enantiomer”, “chiral”, “racemate” or “racemic mixture” are defined as follows. Compounds of the same empirical formula which differ in the nature or arrangement of the bonding of their atoms or their connectivity or the spatial arrangement of the atoms in the molecule are known as “isomers”. Isomers which differ in the spatial arrangement of the atoms in the molecule and are not congruent, while having the same type of connectivity of their atoms, are known as “stereoisomers”. Stereoisomers which do not behave as image and mirror image to one another are known as “diastereomers”, and stereoisomers which behave as an image and mirror image to one another are known as “enantiomers”. Where an asymmetric centre or atom is present (also known as a stereocentre or chiral centre), for example in the case of a carbon atom substituted by four different substituents, the molecule has the attribute “chiral”, and a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer may be characterised by the absolute configuration of its stereocentre. The absolute configuration is described by means of the descriptors (R) and (S), which are determined by the application of the sequence rules according to Cahn, Ingold and Prelog, or by describing the rotation of the plane of polarised light as it interacts with the molecule, which is referred to as dextrorotatory or laevorotatory (i.e. accordingly with (+) or (−) as the descriptor). A chiral compound may occur both as an individual enantiomer or as a mixture of the corresponding enantiomers. A mixture which contains equal amounts of both enantiomers of a compound is known as a “racemate” or “racemic mixture”.

Compounds of general formulae (II), wherein the group B′ is represented by a group of general formula (III), and (IV) may be prepared for example analogously to K. Maekawa, J. Ohtani, Agr. Biol. Chem. 1976, 40, 791-799.


Moreover the compounds of general formula I obtained may be resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereomers.


Thus, for example, the compounds of general formula I obtained which occur as racemates may be separated by methods known per se (cf. Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in “Topics in Stereochemistry”, Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical antipodes and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical-chemical differences using methods known per se, e.g. by chromatography and/or fractional crystallisation, and, if these compounds are obtained in racemic form, they may subsequently be resolved into the enantiomers as mentioned above.


The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation on chiral phases or by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent or by reacting with an optically active substance which forms salts or derivatives such as e.g. esters or amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained, e.g. on the basis of their differences in solubility, whilst the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents. Optically active acids in common use are e.g. the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid. An optically active alcohol may be for example (+) or (−)-menthol and an optically active acyl group in amides may be a (+)- or (−)-menthyloxycarbonyl, for example.


Furthermore, the compounds of formula I may be converted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may be used for this purpose include for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, methanesulphonic acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or maleic acid.


Moreover, if the new compounds of formula I contain a carboxy group, they may subsequently, if desired, be converted into the salts thereof with inorganic or organic bases, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts thereof. Suitable bases for this purpose include for example sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine.


As already mentioned, the compounds of general formula I as well as the tautomers, the enantiomers, the diastereomers and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an antithrombotic activity, which is preferably based on an effect on thrombin or factor Xa, for example on a thrombin-inhibiting or factor Xa-inhibiting activity, on a prolonging effect on the aPTT time and/or on an inhibiting effect on related serine proteases such as e.g. urokinase, factor VIIa, factor IXa, factor XIa and factor XIIa.


The compounds listed in the experimental section were investigated for their effect on the inhibition of factor Xa as follows:


Method:


Enzyme-kinetic measurement with chromogenic substrate. The quantity of p-nitroaniline (pNA) released from the colourless chromogenic substrate by human factor Xa is determined photometrically at 405 nm. It is proportional to the activity of the enzyme used. The inhibition of the enzyme activity by the test substance (in relation to the solvent control) is determined at various concentrations of test substance and from this the IC50 is calculated, as the concentration which inhibits the factor Xa used by 50%.


Material:


Tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane buffer (100 mMol) and sodium chloride (150 mMol), pH 8.0 plus 1 mg/ml Human Albumin Fraction V, protease-free


Factor Xa (Calbiochem), spec. activity: 217 IU/mg, final concentration: 7 IU/ml for each reaction mixture


Substrate S 2765 (Chromogenix), final concentration: 0.3 mM/I (1 KM) for each reaction mixture


Test substance: final concentration 100, 30, 10, 3, 1, 0.3, 0.1, 0.03, 0.01, 0.003, 0.001 μMol/l


Procedure:


10 μl of a 23.5-times concentrated starting solution of the test substance or solvent (control), 175 μl of TRIS/HSA buffer and 25 μl of a 65.8 U/L Factor Xa working solution are incubated for 10 minutes at 37° C. After the addition of 25 μl of S 2765 working solution (2.82 mMol/l) the sample is measured in a photometer (SpectraMax 250) at 405 nm for 600 seconds at 37° C.


Evaluation:


1. Determining the maximum increase (deltaOD/minutes) over 21 measuring points.


2. Determining the % inhibition based on the solvent control.


3. Plotting a dosage/activity curve (% inhibition vs substance concentration).


4. Determining the IC50 by interpolating the X-value (substance concentration) of the dosage/activity curve at Y=50% inhibition.


All the compounds tested had an IC50 value of less than 100 μmol/L.


The compounds prepared according to the invention are generally well tolerated. In view of their pharmacological properties the new compounds and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof are suitable for the prevention and treatment of venous and arterial thrombotic diseases, such as for example the prevention and treatment of deep leg vein thrombosis, for preventing reocclusions after bypass operations or angioplasty (PT(C)A), and occlusion in peripheral arterial diseases, and for preventing and treating pulmonary embolism, disseminated intravascular coagulation and severe sepsis, for preventing and treating DVT in patients with exacerbation of COPD, for treating ulcerative colitis, for treating and preventing coronary thrombosis, for preventing stroke and the occlusion of shunts. In addition, the compounds according to the invention are suitable for antithrombotic support in thrombolytic treatment, such as for example with alteplase, reteplase, tenecteplase, staphylokinase or streptokinase, for preventing long-term restenosis after PT(C)A, for the prevention and treatment of ischaemic incidents in patients with all forms of coronary heart disease, for preventing metastasis and the growth of tumours and inflammatory processes, e.g. in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, for preventing and treating rheumatoid arthritis, for preventing and treating fibrin-dependent tissue adhesions and/or the formation of scar tissue and for promoting wound healing processes. The new compounds and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof may be used therapeutically in conjunction with acetylsalicylic acid, with inhibitors of platelet aggregation such as fibrinogen receptor antagonists (e.g. abciximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban, roxifiban), with physiological activators and inhibitors of the clotting system and the recombinant analogues thereof (e.g. Protein C, TFPI, antithrombin), with inhibitors of ADP-induced aggregation (e.g. clopidogrel, ticlopidine), with P2T receptor antagonists (e.g. cangrelor) or with combined thromboxane receptor antagonists/synthetase inhibitors (e.g. terbogrel).


The dosage required to achieve such an effect is appropriately 0.01 to 3 mg/kg, preferably 0.03 to 1.0 mg/kg by intravenous route, and 0.03 to 30 mg/kg, preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg by oral route, in each case administered 1 to 4 times a day.


For this purpose, the compounds of formula I prepared according to the invention may be formulated, optionally together with other active substances, with one or more inert conventional carriers and/or diluents, e.g. with corn starch, lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, cetylstearyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose or fatty substances such as hard fat or suitable mixtures thereof, to produce conventional galenic preparations such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders, suspensions or suppositories.
