2G00 - PubMed Abstract: 
The bicyclic dihydropyrazolopyridinone scaffold allowed for incorporation of multiple P1 moieties with subnanomolar binding affinities for blood coagulation factor Xa. The compound 3-[6-(2'-dimethylaminomethyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-7-oxo-3-trifluoro-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridine-l-yl]-benzamide 6d shows good fXa potency, selectivity, in vivo efficacy and oral bioavailability. Compound 6d was selected for further pre-clinical evaluations.
