Etheral n-terminal aminodiol amino acid derivatives as anti-hypertensive agents.

摘要

Non-peptidyl compounds characterized generally as ethereal N-terminal aminodiol derivatives of amino acids are useful as renin inhibitors for the treatment of hypertension. Compounds of particular interest are of the formula <CHEM> wherein X is selected from oxygen atom and methylene; wherein R1 is selected from methyl, ethyl, t-butyloxycarbonyl and 2-(N-piperidinyl)ethyl; wherein R2 is selected from hydrido, methyl, ethyl and isopropyl; wherein R3 is selected from benzyl, phenethyl, pyridylmethyl and 2-pyridylethyl; wherein each of R4 and R6 is independently selected from hydrido and methyl; wherein R7 is cyclohexylmethyl; wherein R8 is isobutyl; wherein each of R9 and R11 is hydrido; wherein m is zero or one and n is a number selected from zero through five; or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof; with the proviso that where m is zero, then R5 is selected from imidazolemethyl, thiazolemethyl and isobutyl; and with the further proviso that when m is one, then R5 is methyl or ethyl.
