| abstract |
This invention relates to novel analogs of certain peptidase substrates in which the nitrogen atom of the scissile amide bond has been replaced with difluoro-methylene moiety and in which the carbonyl moiety of its adjacent amide bond has been replaced with a terminal amine function, said novel analogs having the property of inhibiting renin and which are useful in the treatment of hypertension. The novel analogs correspond to the formula <CHEM> b |
