  • Patent number: 6831196
    Abstract: The invention relates to a highly active, highly specific urokinase inhibitor which is suitable for therapeutic applications and can be synthesized in an extremely simple manner. Surprisingly, it was found that amidino benzylamine derivatives, especially 4-amidino-benzylamine, with two bonded amino acids represent a new group of highly active and very selective uPA inhibitors. The urokinase inhibitors can be used in medical applications, e.g. in the treatment of malign tumors such as in cases of metastatic spread.

  • Patent number: 6060451
    Abstract: A thrombin inhibitor comprising a first bulky hydrophobic portion interacting with the catalytic site of thrombin responsible for proteolysis and a second portion at least maintaining the hydrophobic and acidic character of amino acids 55 to 60 of native hirudin at the C-terminal non-catalytic region of N-acetyl-hirudin45-65. Between the first and second portions is a divalent linker moiety having a chain length of at least 10 carbon atoms. Connecting the first bulky hydrophobic portion and the linker is a peptidomimetic bond. Preferably, the bulky hydrophobic portion comprises at least one amino acid of D-configuration. The compounds are useful in the treatment of thrombotic disorders.
