Thrombin, a serine protease, plays a central role in the initiation and propagation of thrombotic events. An extensive search for new thrombin inhibitors was performed, using an unconventional approach. Screening of small basic molecules for binding in the recognition pocket of thrombin led to the discovery of (aminoiminomethyl)piperidine (amidinopiperidine) as a weak, but intrinsically selective, thrombin inhibitor. Elaboration of this molecule provided compounds which inhibit thrombin with Ki's in the range of 20-50 nM and with selectivities of 1000-4000 against trypsin. These inhibitor compounds show a new and unexpected binding mode to thrombin. Modification of the central building block and then of one of the hydrophobic substituents led to the discovery of a new family of thrombin inhibitors which has reverted to the former binding mode to thrombin. This last class of compounds shows inhibitory activities in the picomolar range, low toxicity, and a short plasma half life which favors its use for an intravenous application. From this series of thrombin inhibitors, 19f(Ro 46-6240) was selected for clinical development as an antithrombotic agent for intravenous administration.

D000596 Amino Acids Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerized to form proteins. Amino Acid,Acid, Amino,Acids, Amino
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000991 Antithrombins Endogenous factors and drugs that directly inhibit the action of THROMBIN, usually by blocking its enzymatic activity. They are distinguished from INDIRECT THROMBIN INHIBITORS, such as HEPARIN, which act by enhancing the inhibitory effects of antithrombins.

D015195 Drug Design The molecular designing of drugs for specific purposes (such as DNA-binding, enzyme inhibition, anti-cancer efficacy, etc.) based on knowledge of molecular properties such as activity of functional groups, molecular geometry, and electronic structure, and also on information cataloged on analogous molecules. Drug design is generally computer-assisted molecular modeling and does not include PHARMACOKINETICS, dosage analysis, or drug administration analysis.
