| abstract |
The invention relates to prodrugs of pharmacologically active, five-membered heterocyclic amidines from which in vivo compounds are obtained, these compounds being competitive inhibitors of trypsin-type serin proteases, especially thrombin and kininogenases such as kallikrein. The invention also relates to the production of these prodrugs and to their use as medicaments, to pharmaceutical compositions that contain the prodrugs of the active compounds as components, and to the use of the compounds as thrombin inhibitors, anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory agents. |
