Diarylamidine derivatives with one or both of the aryl moieties consisting of an indole or indole-like ring. Inhibitors of arginine-specific esteroproteases
A series of 62 diarylamidine derivatives was evaluated for their antiproteolytic activity. In all but two of the compounds one or both of the amidino-substituted aryl moieties was either an indole or an indole-like ring. The latter included indene, benzimidazole, benzofuran, benzol[beta]thiophene, a...

Zusammenfassung: | A series of 62 diarylamidine derivatives was evaluated for their antiproteolytic activity. In all but two of the compounds one or both of the amidino-substituted aryl moieties was either an indole or an indole-like ring. The latter included indene, benzimidazole, benzofuran, benzol[beta]thiophene, and several other related nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Several of the compounds exhibited considerable inhibitory potency against thrombin, trypsin, and pancreatic kallikrein. An outstanding inhibitor of trypsin was found in bis(5-amidino-2-benzimidazolyl)methane (compound 42) with a Ki value of 1.7 X 10(-8) M(pH. 8.1, 37 degrees C). Another derivative, 1,2-di(4-amidino-2-benzofuranyl)ethane (compound 21), proved to be a highly effective inhibitor of the overall blood clotting process. From a general structure-activity standpoint these compounds demonstrate that minor structural variations of low-molecular-weight inhibitors can result in significant changes in specificity and potency with regard to antiproteolytic activity. |
