2-(2-Chloro-6-fluorophenyl)acetamides having 2,2-difluoro-2-aryl/heteroaryl-ethylamine P3 and oxyguanidine P1 substituents are potent thrombin inhibitors (K(i)=0.9-33.9 nM). 2-(5-Chloro-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-difluoroethylamine was the best P3 substituent, yielding the most potent inhibitor (K(i)=0.7 nM). Replacing the P3 heteroaryl group with a phenyl ring or replacing the difluoro substitution with dimethyl or cyclopropyl groups in the linker reduced the affinity for thrombin significantly. The aminopyridine P1s also provided an increase in potency.
