Abstract

As part of an effort to prepare efficacious and orally bioavailable analogs of the previously reported thrombin inhibitors 1a, b, we have synthesized a series of compounds that utilize 3, 3-disubstituted propionic acid derivatives as P3 ligands. By removing the N-terminal amino group, the general oral bioavailability of this class of compounds was enhanced without excessively increasing the lipophilicity of the compounds. The overall properties of the ...
