“…A large number of scaffolds have been studied for direct inhibition of FXa including the aminopiperidines [25], piperazines [26], diaminocycloalkanes [27], lactams [28,29], oxazolidinones [30], amino acids (e.g., glycine, proline, and β-aminoproionate) [31,32], anthranilamides [33], isoxazoles [34], pyrazoles [24,35], indazoles [36], indoles [37,38], and dihydropyrazolopyridinones [23,39]. The overall philosophy in the design of these scaffolds is to have a three-component system, which includes a core scaffold and two hydrophobic arms that provide a non-linear geometry considered important for FXa recognition.…”
