RESUMEN
Vorapaxar is an approved drug for the reduction of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction or with peripheral arterial disease. Subsequent to the discovery of Vorapaxar, medicinal chemistry efforts were continued to identify structurally differentiated leads. Toward this goal, extensive structure-activity relationship studies using a C-ring-truncated version of Vorapaxar culminated in the discovery of three leads, represented as 13, 14, and 23. Among these leads, compound 14 possessed favorable pharmacokinetic properties and an off-target profile, which supported additional profiling in an exploratory rat toxicology study.
