  • Patent number: 7429581
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a compound of formula I, in which R0; R1; R2; R3; R4; Q; V, G and M have the meanings indicated below. The compound of formula I is a pharmacologically active compound. It exhibits a strong anti-thrombotic effect and is suitable, for example, for the therapy and prophylaxis of a cardio-vascular disorder like a thromboembolic disease or restenosis. It is a reversible inhibitor 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 intended. The invention furthermore is directed to a process for the preparation of the compound of formula I, and pharmaceutical preparation comprising it.
