Abstract: Thrombosis is one of the most important pathogenic factors related to cardiovascular
diseases. Presently, thrombin inhibitors have gradually gained prominence in
clinical practice due to their unique potential, such as dabigatran. Nevertheless, the risk of
bleeding is not completely eliminated, and the threats of gastrointestinal bleeding are even
increased in some cases. Therefore, developing new oral thrombin inhibitors with low side
effects is urgent. In this paper, we summarized recent advances in the newly synthesized
and isolated thrombin inhibitors from 2000 to 2019 and their structure-activity relationships
(SARs) along with structure-dependent pharmacokinetic parameters, guiding the
next generation of oral thrombin inhibitors.
