  • Patent number: 6906084
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula I, in which R0; R1; R2; R3; R4; R5; R6; R7; Q; V, G and M have the meanings indicated in the claims. The compounds of formula I are valuable pharmacologically active compounds. They exhibit a strong antithrombotic effect and are suitable, for example, for the therapy and prophylaxis of cardiovascular disorders like thromboembolic diseases or restenoses. They are reversible inhibitors of the blood clotting enzymes factor Xa (FXa) and/or factor VIIa (FVIIa), and can in general be applied in conditions in which an undesired activity of factor Xa and/or factor VIIa is present or for the cure or prevention of which an inhibition of factor Xa and/or factor VIIa is indicated. The invention furthermore relates to processes for the preparation of compounds of formula I, their use, in particular as pharmaceuticals for treating the foregoing conditions, and pharmaceutical preparations comprising them.
