    Abstract:
    This study was designed to evaluate the antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding propensity of a selective, small-molecule inhibitor of tissue factor/factor VIIa (TF/VIIa) in comparison to small-molecule, selective inhibitors of factor Xa and thrombin in a nonhuman primate model of thrombosis. Acute, spontaneous thrombus formation was induced by electrolytic injury to the intimal surface of a femoral blood vessel, which results in thrombus propagation at the injured site. The TF/FVIIa inhibitor 3-amino-5-[1-[2-([4-[amino(imino)methyl]benzyl]amino)-2-oxoethyl]-3-chloro-5-(isopropylamino)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrazin-2-yl]benzoic acid dihydrochloride (PHA-927F) was fully effective in prevention of thrombosis-induced vessel occlusion at a dose of 400 microg/kg/min, i.v., in the arterial vasculature (femoral artery). Neither the effective dose nor multiples up to 4.4-fold the effective arterial plasma concentration elicited any significant effect on bleeding time or blood loss from either the bleeding time site or the surgical (femoral isolation) site. Small-molecule inhibitors of factor Xa or thrombin were effective arterial antithrombotic agents; however, in contrast to the TF/FVIIa inhibitor, they both elicited substantial increases in bleeding propensity at the effective dose and at multiples of the effective plasma concentration. These data indicate that TF/VIIa inhibition effectively prevented arterial thrombosis with less impact on bleeding parameters than equivalent doses of factor Xa and thrombin inhibitors.
