Abstract

A novel series of carboxy-substituted naphthalenes and carboxy-substituted benzo-fused heterocycles, such as carboxy-substituted derivatives of indole, benzofuran and benzothiophene, has been prepared, including their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. These particular compounds are useful in therapy for the treatment of thrombosis, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, transient ischaemic attack, migraine, peripheral vascular disease, the vascular complications of diabetes and endotoxic shock. Preferred member compounds include 2-(1-imidazolylmethyl)-3-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-5-carboxylic acid and 3-methyl-2-(3-pyridylmethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-5-carboxylic acid, respectively. Methods for preparing these compounds from known starting materials are provided.
