| abstract |
The invention concerns novel renin-inhibitory peptides which are useful for treating renin-associated hypertension, congestive heart failure, and hyperaldosteronism. Processes for preparing the peptides, novel intermediates useful in the preparation thereof, compositions containing them, and methods of using them are included. Also included is a diagnostic method which uses the compounds to determine the presence of renin-associated hypertension, congestive heart failure, or hyperaldosteronism. |
