Abstract

Four stereoisomers of 4-methyl-1-[N2-(3-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-8-quinolinesulfonyl)-L-arginyl]-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid were synthesized and examined for the inhibitory effect on thrombin. The inhibitory potency varied largely with the stereo-configuration of the 4-methyl-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid portion. The (2R, 4R)-isomer was the most potent inhibitor with a Ki of 0.019 μM, while the (2R, 4S) and (2S, 4R)-isomers showed the values of Ki 0.24 and 1.9 μM, respectively. The least potent inhibitor, (2S, 4S)-isomer, showed a Ki of 280 μM which is approximately 15,000 times that of (2R, 4R)-isomer.
