- Discovery of an orally active non-peptide fibrinogen receptor antagonist based on the hydantoin scaffold
-
Antagonists of the platelet fibrinogen receptor (GP IIb/IIIa receptor) are expected to be a promising new class of antithrombotic agents. The binding of fibrinogen to the fibrinogen receptor depends on an Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) tetrapeptide recognition motif. Structural modifications of the RGDS lead have led to the discovery of a non-peptide RGD mimetic GP IIb/IIIa antagonist 44 (S 1197). Compound 44 inhibited, in a dose dependent and reversible manner, human and dog platelet aggregation as well as 125I-fibrinogen binding to ADP-activated human gel filtered platelets and isolated GP IIb/IIIa with Ki values of 9 nM and 0.17 nM, respectively. A pharmacophore mapping procedure with QXP and a 3D-QSAR analysis applying the GRID/GOLPE methodology yielded a stable, rather predictive model and revealed structural features which are important for binding. Hydrophobic substitutions both at the hydantoin nucleus and at the C-terminus increase the affinity toward the fibrinogen receptor. The crystalline ethyl ester prodrug 48 (HMR 1794) is an orally active antithrombotic agent which is a promising drug candidate for the treatment of thrombotic diseases in humans.
