Synthesis of acylguanidine analogues: inhibitors of ADP-induced platelet aggregation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jm00121a041

Routine screening of compounds for inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation in vitro revealed that 1'-hexamethylenebis[3-cyclohexyl-3-[(cyclohexylimino)(4-morpholinyl)methyl] urea] was active and represented the first example of a bis(acylguanidine) with possible antithrombotic activity. In order to develop a structure-activity relationship for this class of compounds, we synthesized a number of new bis(acylguanidines). These were tested in vitro, and several analogues were also active. Ex vivo testing revealed that compounds 22, 41, 58, and 70-73 were orally active in rats or guinea pigs.
