A series of 3-(3-guanidinopropyl)-azetidin-2-one derivatives was prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of cleavage of synthetic substrates in vitro by the serine proteases thrombin, trypsin and plasmin. The N-unsubstituted, 4-phenethyl derivative 9a demonstrated weak inhibition of these enzymes but acetylation of the beta-lactam N atom afforded 9b, an effective, time-dependent inhibitor of thrombin and a potent inhibitor of plasmin. Variation of the 4-position of the beta-lactam ring was examined in conjunction with different N-substituents to provide a series of potent, time-dependent inhibitors of thrombin. A C-4 substituent was essential for good inhibitory properties and, in general, polar C-4 substituents enhanced the selectivity of inhibition for thrombin compared to plasmin. A trans relationship between the C-4 and C-3 substituents was found to be superior to a cis disposition whilst homologation of the guanidinopropyl side chain to that of a guanidinobutyl moiety reduced activity. Several compounds were effective inhibitors of thrombin-induced clot formation in human plasma in vitro but activity in this assay did not correlate well with inhibition of thrombin-induced cleavage of a synthetic substrate, presumably a consequence of inherent chemical instability and degradation in plasma.
