<h4>Background</h4>The development of new anticoagulants is an important goal for the improvement of thromboses treatments.<h4>Objectives</h4>The design, synthesis and experimental testing of new safe and effective small molecule direct thrombin inhibitors for intravenous administration.<h4>Methods</h4>Computer-aided molecular design of new thrombin inhibitors was performed using our original docking program SOL, which is based on the genetic algorithm of global energy minimization in the framework of a Merck Molecular Force Field.

The designed molecules with the best scoring functions (calculated binding energies) were synthesized and their thrombin inhibitory activity evaluated experimentally in vitro using a chromogenic substrate in a buffer system and using a thrombin generation test in isolated plasma and in vivo using the newly developed model of hemodilution-induced hypercoagulation in rats.
