Antithrombotic dual inhibitors comprising a biotin residue
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) oligosaccharide-spacer-A (1), wherein the oligosaccharide is a negatively charged oligosaccharide residue comprising two to twenty five monosaccharide units, the charge being compensated by positively charged counterions, and wherein the oligosaccharide residue is derived from an oligosaccharide which has (AT-III mediated) anti-Xa activity per se; the spacer is an essentially pharmacologically inactive flexible linking residue having a chain length of 10 to 70 atoms; A is the residue —CH[NH—SO 2 —R 1 [CO—NR 2 —CH(4-benzamidine)-CO—NR 3 R 4 ], wherein R1 is phenyl, naphthyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl, (iso)quinolinyl, tetrahydro(iso)quinolinyl, 3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinolinyl, chromanyl or the camphor group, which groups may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents selected from (1-8C)alkyl or (1-8C)alkoxy; and wherein R 2 and R 3 are independently H or (1-8C)alkyl; R 4 is (-8C)alkyl or (3-8C)cycloalkyl; or R 3 and R 4 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded are a nonaromatic (4-8) membered ring optionally containing another heteroatom, the ring optionally being substituted with (1-8C)alkyl or SO 2 -(1-8C)alkyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof a prodrug or solvate thereof; wherein the compound of formula I further comprises at least one covalent bond with a biotin residue or an analogue thereof. The compounds of the invention have antithrombotic activity and can be used in treating or preventing thrombosis or other thrombin-related diseases. The antithrombotic activity of the compound of this invention can be neutralized in case of emergency upon administration of avidin, streptavidin and analogues thereof having high biotin affinity.
