ABSTRACT
Inhibitors based on the benzimidazole scaffold showed subnanomolar potency against Factor Xa with 500-1000-fold selectivity against thrombin and 50-100-fold selectivity against trypsin. The 2-substituent on the benzimidazole ring had a strong impact on the FXa inhibitory activity. Crystallography studies suggest that the 2-substituent may have a conformational effect favoring the extended binding conformation.
