New macrocyclic plasmin inhibitors based on our previously optimized P2-P3 core segment have been developed. In the first series, the P4 residue was modified, whereas the 4-amidinobenzylamide in P1 position was maintained. The originally used P4 benzylsulfonyl residue could be replaced by various sulfonyl- or urethane-like protecting groups. In the second series, the P1 benzamidine was modified and a strong potency and excellent selectivity was retained by incorporation of p-xylenediamine. Several analogues inhibit plasmin in the subnanomolar range, and their potency against related trypsin-like serine proteases including trypsin itself could be further reduced. Selected derivatives have been tested in a plasma fibrinolysis assay and are more effective than the reference inhibitor aprotinin. The crystal structure of one inhibitor was determined in complex with trypsin. The binding mode reveals a sterical clash of the inhibitor's linker segment with the 99-hairpin loop of trypsin, which is absent in plasmin.

The invention relates to peptide mimetics comprising the residues P4-P3-P2-P1, which were cyclized between the side chains of P3 and P2 amino acid and are, as inhibitors of the serine protease plasmin, suitable to be used to inhibit fibrinolysis and thus to reduce blood loss in hyperfibrinolytic conditions, for example during surgery.

The trypsin-like serine protease plasmin is a target for the development of antifibrinolytic drugs for use in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass or organ transplantations to reduce excessive blood loss. The optimization of our recently described substrate-analogue plasmin inhibitors, which were cyclized between their P3 and P2 side chains, provided a new series with improved efficacy and excellent selectivity. The most potent inhibitor 8 binds to plasmin with an inhibition constant of 0.2 nM, whereas Ki values >1 μM were determined for nearly all other tested trypsin-like serine proteases, with the exception of trypsin, which is also inhibited in the nanomolar range. Docking studies revealed a potential binding mode in the widely open active site of plasmin that explains the strong potency and selectivity profile of these inhibitors. The dialkylated piperazine-linker segment contributes to an excellent solubility of all analogues. Based on their overall profile the presented inhibitors are well suited for further development as injectable antifibrinolytic drugs.

Steric and electronic ligand properties of the N,N′-piperazin-dipropionic acid, PDPA, have been investigated using the MM+ force field and the AMI MO semiempirical method. The conformational analysis evidenced the large number of PDPA low energy conformers. The barriers to rotation of the side chain bonds also showed the PDPA capability to adopt easily conformations suited for the coordination at different metal centers. The gap between HOMO and LEMO energy classifies PDPA as a hard to intermediate base. Net atomic charges and 3D-electrostatic potentials show important negative zones around the piperazine N and carboxylic O donor atoms of PDPA. Its capability to act as a tetradentate ligand is evidenced by modeling different low energy conformers of Co(II) mononuclear complexes.
