Compounds characterized generally as amino acyl amino propargyl diol derivatives are useful as renin inhibitors for the treatment of hypertension. Compounds of particular interest are those of formula (I) wherein A is selected from CO and SO2; wherein X is selected from oxygen atom and methylene; wherein each of R1 and R9 is a group independently selected from hydrido, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, benzyl, b,b,b-trifluoroethyl, t-butyloxycarbonyl and methoxymethylcarbonyl, and wherein the nitrogen atom to which R1 and R9 are attached may be combined with oxygen to form an N-oxide; wherein R2 is selected from hydrido, methyl, ethyl and isopropyl; wherein R3 is selected from benzyl, cyclohexylmethyl, phenethyl, imidazolemethyl, pyridylmethyl and 2-pyridylethyl; wherein R5 is selected from hydrido, alkyl, pyrazolealkyl, pyridylalkyl, thiazolylalkyl, imidazolealkyl, thienylalkyl, furanylalkyl, oxazolylalkyl, isoxazolylakyl, pyrimidinylalkyl, pyridazinylalkyl and pyrazinylalkyl; wherein each of R4 and R6 is independently selected from hydrido and methyl; wherein R7 is cyclohexylmethyl; wherein R8 is propargyl or a propargyl-containing moiety; wherein each of R11 and R12 is independently selected from hydrido, alkyl and phenyl; wherein m is zero; and wherein n is a number selected from zero through three; or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof. |
