Cinnamylindoline Derivatives: Synthesis and Factor Xa (FXa) Inhibitory Activities

Abstract

A series of cinnamylindoline derivatives were synthesized, and their factor Xa (FXa) inhibitory activities and selectivity over trypsin were evaluated. Among them, some novel derivatives showed potent FXa inhibitory activities and good selectivity over trypsin. Especially, (E)-2-{5-[1-(acetimidoyl)piperidin-4-yloxy]-2-[2-(5-amidino-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethen-1-yl]indolin-1-ylsulfonyl}acetic acid (22f) having 2-hydroxycinnamyl moiety exhibited the most potent FXa inhibitory activity in vitro. Furthermore, 22f also exhibited potent anticoagulant activities in vitro.
