Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 1,5-benzothiazepine-4-one derivatives targeting factor VIIa/tissue factor
Résumé
The 1,5-benzothiazepine-4-one scaffold was earlier shown to provide efficient protease inhibitors. In this contribution, we describe its use in the design of factor VIIa/tissue factor inhibitors. A series containing a scaffold non-substituted on its aryl part led to compound 20 with an IC50 of 2.16 mu M. Following molecular modelling studies of this compound, a second series was prepared, which necessitated the synthesis of protected 7- or 8-substituted 1,5-benzothiazepine-4-one derivatives.
