In vitro and in vivo antithrombotic activity of PD-198961, a novel synthetic factor Xa inhibitor.

PD-198961, 3-(4-5-[(2R,6S)-2,6-dimethyltetrahydro-1(2H)-pyridinyl]pentyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinoxalinyl)-4-hydroxybenzenecarboximidamide, is a novel, synthetic factor Xa inhibitor with a Ki of 2.7 nM against human factor Xa. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile and antithrombotic efficacy of PD-198961 in rabbits. When tested in vitro, PD-198961 doubled prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) at concentrations of 0.13 and 0.32 microM in human plasma, 0.2 and 0.09 microM in rabbit plasma, 0.3 and 0.4 microM in dog plasma, respectively. Intravenous administration of PD-198961 at 1 mg/kg over 30 minutes resulted in a maximal prolongation in PT and aPTT of 4.9 +/- 0.4 and 4.1 +/- 0.9-fold of baseline, respectively. The peak plasma concentration of PD-198961 was 977 +/- 96 ng/ml. The anticoagulant effect of PD-198961 was readily reversible; coagulation parameters and plasma concentration returned to near baseline 15 minutes after cessation of infusion. There was a good correlation between PT prolongation and plasma concentration of PD-198961 (r = 0.93). In an FeCl3-induced model of arterial thrombosis in rabbits, the antithrombotic effects of PD-198961 were compared with that of LB-30057, a direct thrombin inhibitor, and enoxaparin, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). PD-198961 dose dependently increased the time to occlusion (TTO), reduced thrombus weight (TW), and decreased the incidence of occlusion. When administered at 3.0 microg/kg/min IV, PD-198961 prolonged TTO from 28 +/- 5 minutes (control) to 120 +/- 0 minutes (P < 0.001) and reduced TW from 9.9 +/- 1.5 mg (control) to 2.8 +/- 0.9 mg (P < 0.01). PD-198961 also dose dependently inhibited ex vivo plasma FXa activity. At the highest dose tested, PD-198961 increased aPTT to 1.4 +/- 0.1-fold of baseline (compared with 1.5 +/- 0.1 and 2.8 +/- 0.3-fold of baseline for LB-30057 [CI-1028] and enoxaparin, respectively), and had modest effects on bleeding time (< or = 2-fold). These results indicate that PD-198961 is a potent FXa inhibitor and an effective antithrombotic agent at doses that produce only modest changes in normal hemostasis.
