Structure and property based design of factor Xa inhibitors: Biaryl pyrrolidin-2-ones incorporating basic heterocyclic motifs

Structure and property based drug design was exploited in the synthesis of sulfonamidopyrrolidin-2-one-based factor Xa (fXa) inhibitors, incorporating basic biaryl P4 groups, producing highly potent inhibitors with significant anticoagulant activities and encouraging oral pharmacokinetic profiles.
