Abstract

Thrombin inhibitors incorporating o-aminoalkylbenzylamides in the P1 position were designed, synthesized and found to have enhanced potency and selectivity in several different structural classes. X-ray crystallographic analysis of compound 24 bound in the α-thrombin-hirugen complex provides an explanation for these unanticipated results.
