The binding of fibrinogen to the platelet fibrinogen receptor (GP IIb/IIIa receptor) depends on an Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) tetrapeptide recognition motif.Structural modifications of the RGDS tetrapeptide lead structure has led to the discovery of a non-peptide RGD mimetic GP IIb/IIIa antagonist 1 (S 1197).Compound 1 inhibited dose-dependently and reversibly human platelet aggregation.In conscious dogs the ethyl ester prodrug 2 (S 5740) showed a high plasma availability of the active moiety of 42+/-8percent (n=4) and a plasma half life of 9.9 hours after oral administration as measured by bioassay.Compound 2 may potentially be used for chronic treatment and prophylaxis of thrombotic diseases in humans.A pilot plant synthesis of compound 2 was developed.
