Abstract
Pyrazinones (2(1H)-pyrazinones) are found as components of a range of natural substances and are involved in the preparation of a great number of bioactive molecules. Synthesis of such compounds, and analogues, requires knowledge of the heterocyclic properties of pyrazinones and, in particular, methods for their ring construction. This review deals with the strategies that have been developed for the synthesis of pyrazinones from acyclic precursors, especially α-amino acid-derived units, from the first examples in 1905 up to the most recent in 2021.

Abstract
The application of bioisosteres in drug discovery is a well-established design concept that has demonstrated utility as an approach to solving a range of problems that affect candidate optimization, progression, and durability. In this chapter, the application of isosteric substitution is explored in a fashion that focuses on the development of practical solutions to problems that are encountered in typical optimization campaigns. The role of bioisosteres to affect intrinsic potency and selectivity, influence conformation, solve problems associated with drug developability, including P-glycoprotein recognition, modulating basicity, solubility, and lipophilicity, and to address issues associated with metabolism and toxicity is used as the underlying theme to capture a spectrum of creative applications of structural emulation in the design of drug candidates.

Abstract
Fifty novel prodrugs and aza-analogues of 3,5-bis(4-amidinophenyl)isoxazole and its derivatives were prepared. Eighteen of the 24 aza-analogues exhibited IC₅₀ values below 25 nM against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense or Plasmodium falciparum. Six compounds had antitrypanosomal IC₅₀ values below 10 nM. Twelve analogues showed similar antiplasmodial activities, including three with sub-nanomolar potencies. Forty-four diamidines (including 16 aza-analogues) and the 26 prodrugs were evaluated for efficacy in mice infected with T. b. rhodesiense STIB900. Six diamidines cured 4/4 mice at daily 5 mg/kg intraperitoneal doses for 4 days, giving results far superior to pentamidine and furamidine. One prodrug attained 3/4 cures at daily 25 mg/kg oral doses for 4 days.

Abstract
3,5-bis(4-amidinophenyl)isoxazole (3)-an analogue of 2,5-bis(4-amidinophenyl)furan (furamidine) in which the central furan ring is replaced by isoxazole-and 42 novel analogues were prepared by two general synthetic pathways. The 43 isoxazole derivatives were assayed against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (T. brucei rhodesiense) STIB900, Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) K1, and rat myoblast L6 cells (for cytotoxicity) in vitro. Eleven compounds (3, 13, 16-18, 22, 26, 29, 31, 37, and 41) exhibited antitrypanosomal IC50 values less than 10 nM, five of which displayed cytotoxic indices (ratios of cytotoxic IC50 to antiprotozoal IC50 values) at least 10 times higher than that of furamidine. Eighteen compounds (4-8, 12, 14, 18-22, 25, 26, 28, 29, 32, and 43) were more active against P. falciparum than furamidine, with IC50 values less than 15 nM. Fourteen of these compounds had cytotoxic indices ranging between 10 and 120 times higher than that of furamidine, and five analogues exhibited high selectivity for P. falciparum over T. brucei rhodesiense.

Abstract
Intravascular thrombosis and its complication, embolism, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Past few decades have seen a great deal of progress in the development of antithrombotic agents, though the current treatment options are limited to heparin, LMW heparins, and warfarin. Detailed understanding of the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms of activation and regulation of blood coagulation have helped in developing specific inhibitors of enzymes, especially thrombin, within the coagulation cascade. Thrombin plays a central role in the coagulation cascade and so has become the primary target for the development of antithrombotic drugs. The review covers the main pharmacological aspects of haemostasis and thrombosis and provides an update on low molecular weight thrombin inhibitors along with the limitations of the prevalent antithrombotic agents. Recent developments in small molecule inhibitors of Protease Activated Receptor-1 (PAR-1) which can be helpful for the treatment of thrombotic and vascular proliferative disorders, have also been discussed.

Abstract
Targeted 2-pyridones were selected as tissue Factor VIIa inhibitors and prepared from 2,6-dibromopyridine via a multistep synthesis. A variety of chemical transformations, including regioselective nucleophilic addition, selective nitrogen alkylation, and a Suzuki coupling, afforded the targeted tissue Factor VIIa inhibitors. The pyridone core was selected as a replacement for the pyrazinone core of noncovalent tissue Factor VIIa inhibitors and designed such that their substitution pattern would occupy and interact with the S(1), S(2), and S(3) pockets of the tissue Factor VIIa enzyme. These compounds were tested in several serine protease enzyme assays involved in the coagulation cascade exhibiting modest activity on tissue Factor VIIa with excellent selectivity over thrombin and Factor Xa. Finally, an X-ray crystal structure of inhibitor 14a bound to tissue Factor VIIa was obtained and will be described.

Abstract
A 4-amino-2-carboxymethyl-3-morpholinone structural motif derived from malic acid has been used to mimic d-Phe-Pro in the thrombin inhibiting tripeptide d-Phe-Pro-Arg. The arginine in D-Phe-Pro-Arg was replaced by the more rigid P1 truncated p-amidinobenzylamine (Pab). These new thrombin inhibitors were used to probe the inhibitor binding site of alpha-thrombin. The best candidate in this series of thrombin inhibitors exhibits an in vitro IC50 of 0.130 microM. Interestingly, the stereochemistry of the 4-amino-2-carboxymethyl-3-morpholinone motif is reversed for the most active compounds compared to that of a previously reported 2-carboxymethyl-3-morpholinone series. The X-ray crystal structure of the lead inhibitor cocrystallized with alpha-thrombin is discussed.

Abstract
Structure-based drug design (SBDD) and polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) library synthesis were used to develop a series of pyrazinone inhibitors of the Tissue Factor/Factor VIIa (TF/VIIa) complex. The crystal structure of a tripeptide-alpha-ketothiazole complexed with TF/VIIa was utilized in a docking experiment to identify the pyrazinone core as a starting scaffold. The pyrazinone core could orient the substituents in the correct spatial arrangement to probe the S1, S2, and S3 pockets of the enzyme. A multistep PASP library synthesis was designed to prepare the substituted pyrazinones varying the P1, P2, and P3 moieties. Hundreds of pyrazinone TF/VIIa inhibitors were prepared and tested in several serine protease enzyme assays involved in the coagulation cascade. The inhibitors exhibited modest activity on TF/VIIa with excellent selectivity over thrombin (IIa) and Factor Xa. The structure-activity relationship of the pyrazinone inhibitors will be discussed and X-ray crystal structures of selected compounds complexed with the TF/VIIa enzyme will be described. This study ultimately led to the synthesis of compound 34, which exhibited 16 nM (IC50) activity on TF/VIIa with >6250 x selectivity vs Factor Xa and thrombin. This potent and highly selective inhibitor of TF/VIIa was chosen for preclinical, intravenous proof-of-concept studies to demonstrate the separation between antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding side effects in a nonhuman primate model of electrolytic-induced arterial thrombosis.

Abstract
Structure-based drug design coupled with polymer-assisted solution-phase library synthesis was utilized to develop a series of pyrazinone inhibitors of the tissue factor/Factor VIIa complex. The crystal structure of a tri-peptide ketothiazole complexed with TF/VIIa was utilized in a docking experiment that identified a benzyl-substituted pyrazinone as a P(2) surrogate for the tri-peptide. A 5-step PASP library synthesis of these aryl-substituted pyrazinones was developed. The sequence allows for attachment of a variety of P(1) and P(3) moieties, which led to synthesis pyrazinone 23. Compound 23 exhibited 16 nM IC(50) against TF/VIIa with >6250x selectivity versus Factor Xa and thrombin. This potent and highly selective inhibitor of TF/VIIa was chosen for pre-clinical intravenous proof-of-concept studies to demonstrate the separation between antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding side effects in a primate model of thrombosis.

Abstract
The design, synthesis and biological activity of non-covalent thrombin inhibitors incorporating 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole, 2-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole, 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoindole, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazolin-2-amine as novel, partially saturated, heterobicyclic P(1)-arginine side-chain mimetics is described. The binding mode of the most potent candidate in the series co-crystallized with human alpha-thrombin, which exhibited an in vitro K(i) of 140nM and more that 478-fold selectivity against trypsin, is discussed.

Abstract
Novel, potent, and highly selective classes of thrombin inhibitors were identified, which resulted from judicious combination of P4-aromatics and P2-P3-heterocyclic dipeptide surrogates with weakly basic (calcd pKa approximately non-basic-8.6) bicyclic P1-arginine mimics. The design, synthesis, and biological activity of achiral, non-covalent, orally bioavailable inhibitors NC1-NC44 featuring P1-indazoles, benzimidazoles, indoles, benzotriazoles, and aminobenzisoxazoles is disclosed.
