A series of azaphenylalanine derivatives were investigated as novel thrombin inhibitors based on the prodrug principle. By systematic structural modifications we have identified optimal groups for this series that led us to potent inhibitors of thrombin incorporating the benzamidine fragment

The unsulfonated aromatic amine 4-nitro-p-cresidine (2-methoxy-5-methyl-4-nitrobenzenamine) was identified as an impurity in the regulated color additive FD&C Red. No. 40. The compound was isolated from the water-soluble color by extraction with chloroform, followed by transfer of the free amines to
