ABSTRACT

This study in non-human primates was designed to evaluate the bleeding propensity of a selective, small molecule inhibitor of tissue factor (TF)/VIIa in combination with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in comparison to the combination of ASA and warfarin. Bleeding time was increased by ASA but was not prolonged further by the addition of the TF/VIIa inhibitor, PHA-927, at doses that elevated the prothrombin time to 8-fold. In contrast, bleeding time was prolonged by warfarin alone and further exacerbated by the presence of ASA. Acute blood loss at the bleeding site, while not significantly increased by either warfarin or PHA-927, was increased substantially in several individuals treated with a combination of warfarin and ASA but not by the combination of TF/VIIa inhibitor and ASA. These data predict that TF/VIIa inhibition, in the presence of chronic aspirin therapy in patients with cardiovascular risk factors, will be a safe therapy for thrombotic disorders.

ABSTRACT

Structure-based drug design (SBDD) and polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) library synthesis were used to develop a series of pyrazinone inhibitors of the Tissue Factor/Factor VIIa (TF/VIIa) complex. The crystal structure of a tripeptide-alpha-ketothiazole complexed with TF/VIIa was utilized in a docking experiment to identify the pyrazinone core as a starting scaffold. The pyrazinone core could orient the substituents in the correct spatial arrangement to probe the S1, S2, and S3 pockets of the enzyme. A multistep PASP library synthesis was designed to prepare the substituted pyrazinones varying the P1, P2, and P3 moieties. Hundreds of pyrazinone TF/VIIa inhibitors were prepared and tested in several serine protease enzyme assays involved in the coagulation cascade. The inhibitors exhibited modest activity on TF/VIIa with excellent selectivity over thrombin (IIa) and Factor Xa. The structure-activity relationship of the pyrazinone inhibitors will be discussed and X-ray crystal structures of selected compounds complexed with the TF/VIIa enzyme will be described. This study ultimately led to the synthesis of compound 34, which exhibited 16 nM (IC50) activity on TF/VIIa with >6250 x selectivity vs Factor Xa and thrombin. This potent and highly selective inhibitor of TF/VIIa was chosen for preclinical, intravenous proof-of-concept studies to demonstrate the separation between antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding side effects in a nonhuman primate model of electrolytic-induced arterial thrombosis.

ABSTRACT

Structure-based drug design coupled with polymer-assisted solution-phase library synthesis was utilized to develop a series of pyrazinone inhibitors of the tissue factor/Factor VIIa complex. The crystal structure of a tri-peptide ketothiazole complexed with TF/VIIa was utilized in a docking experiment that identified a benzyl-substituted pyrazinone as a P(2) surrogate for the tri-peptide. A 5-step PASP library synthesis of these aryl-substituted pyrazinones was developed. The sequence allows for attachment of a variety of P(1) and P(3) moieties, which led to synthesis pyrazinone 23. Compound 23 exhibited 16 nM IC(50) against TF/VIIa with >6250x selectivity versus Factor Xa and thrombin. This potent and highly selective inhibitor of TF/VIIa was chosen for pre-clinical intravenous proof-of-concept studies to demonstrate the separation between antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding side effects in a primate model of thrombosis.

ABSTRACT

This study was designed to evaluate the antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding propensity of a selective, small-molecule inhibitor of tissue factor/factor VIIa (TF/VIIa) in comparison to small-molecule, selective inhibitors of factor Xa and thrombin in a nonhuman primate model of thrombosis. Acute, spontaneous thrombus formation was induced by electrolytic injury to the intimal surface of a femoral blood vessel, which results in thrombus propagation at the injured site. The TF/FVIIa inhibitor 3-amino-5-[1-[2-([4-[amino(imino)methyl]benzyl]amino)-2-oxoethyl]-3-chloro-5-(isopropylamino)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrazin-2-yl]benzoic acid dihydrochloride (PHA-927F) was fully effective in prevention of thrombosis-induced vessel occlusion at a dose of 400 microg/kg/min, i.v., in the arterial vasculature (femoral artery). Neither the effective dose nor multiples up to 4.4-fold the effective arterial plasma concentration elicited any significant effect on bleeding time or blood loss from either the bleeding time site or the surgical (femoral isolation) site. Small-molecule inhibitors of factor Xa or thrombin were effective arterial antithrombotic agents; however, in contrast to the TF/FVIIa inhibitor, they both elicited substantial increases in bleeding propensity at the effective dose and at multiples of the effective plasma concentration. These data indicate that TF/VIIa inhibition effectively prevented arterial thrombosis with less impact on bleeding parameters than equivalent doses of factor Xa and thrombin inhibitors.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Pharmacological treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the future may target inhibitors of specific procoagulant proteins. This study used a non-human primate model to test the effect of PHA-798, a specific inhibitor of the tissue factor/Factor VIIa complex (TF/VIIa), on venous thrombus formation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PHA inhibits the TF/VIIa complex with an IC(50) of 13.5 nM (K(i) 9 nM) and is more than 2000-fold selective for the TF/VIIa complex with respect to IC(50)s for factor Xa and thrombin. In the model, a thrombogenic surface was introduced into the vena cava of a primate, and the amount of thrombus accumulated after 30 min was determined. RESULTS: PHA-798 reduced thrombus formation on the thrombogenic surface in a dose-dependent manner (56+/-1.9% and 85+/-0.3% inhibition with 100 and 200 microg/kg/min PHA-798, respectively) indicating that the model is sensitive to TF/VIIa inhibition. Treatment with 1 mg/kg intravenous (IV) acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) resulted in only a slight (4-12%), non-significant inhibition of thrombus formation. However, the combination of 100 microg/kg/min PHA-798 and 1 mg/kg ASA resulted in an 89% inhibition of thrombus formation. Additionally, while ASA alone increased bleeding time (BT) from 3.3 min at baseline to 4.6 min following treatment, addition of PHA-798 (100 microg/kg/min) to ASA did not significantly increase the BT further (4.7 min). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that inhibition of TF/VIIa may be safe and effective for the prevention of the proprogation of venous thrombosis and that the combination of ASA and PHA may provide increased efficacy with little change in safety.
