Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce the launch of a new Molecules Special Issue on “Anticoagulant and Antithrombotic Therapy”. Antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants represent a mainstay for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis-related diseases. However, despite the undoubted advances in antithrombotic therapy, bleeding still remains a major side effect. Understanding the mechanisms of hemostasis and thrombosis has revealed new targets for attenuating thrombosis with the potential for less bleeding.

The recently developed direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), targeting coagulation cascade factors such as thrombin (dabigatran) or fXa (apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban), significantly expand the available warehouse of antithrombotic agents. The ultimate goal of anticoagulation therapy is to attenuate thrombosis without perturbing hemostasis, and DOACs come closer to this goal, without the elimination of bleeding risk. New targets (FXIIa and FXIa) or molecular strategies (allosteric inhibitors or modulators, antisense oligonucleotides, monoclonal antibodies, and aptamers) have evolved in the identification of new active compounds. This Special Issue will focus on the recent advances, current challenges, and future perspectives of antithrombotic agents.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Cardiovascular diseases caused by blood coagulation system disorders are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Research shows that blood clotting factors are involved in these thrombotic processes. Among them, factor Xa occupies a key position in the blood coagulation cascade. Another coagulation factor, XIa, is also a promising target because its inhibition can suppress thrombosis with a limited contribution to normal hemostasis. In this regard, the development of dual inhibitors as new generation anticoagulants is an urgent problem. Here we report the synthesis and evaluation of novel potential dual inhibitors of coagulation factors Xa and XIa. Based on the principles of molecular design, we selected a series of compounds that combine in their structure fragments of pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-2-one and thiazole, connected through a hydrazine linker. The production of new hybrid molecules was carried out using a two-stage method. The reaction of 5,6-dihydropyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-1,2-diones with thiosemicarbazide gave the corresponding hydrazinocarbothioamides. The reaction of the latter with DMAD led to the target methyl 2-(4-oxo-2-(2-(2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-1(2H)-ylidene)hydrazineyl)thiazol-5(4H)-ylidene)acetates in high yields. In vitro testing of the synthesized molecules revealed that ten of them showed high inhibition values for both the coagulation factors Xa and XIa, and the IC50 value for some compounds was also assessed. The resulting structures were also tested for their ability to inhibit thrombin. Full article
