The pro~uct of formula Xl bearing the acyl
group R5-CO can be converted, if desired, to the
product of formula I wherein R4 is hydrogen by
hydrolysis with ammonia, sodium hydroxide or the like.
~sters of formula I wherein R is lower alkyl

procedures, e.g., by esterification with a diazo-
alkane like diazomethane, l-alkyl-3-p-tolyltriazene,
like l-n-butyl-3--p-tolyltriazene, or the like,
preferably after the completion of the sequence of
reactions described above. However, earlier esteri-
fication and omission of the alkaline hydrolysis can
also be practiced.
The compounds of formula I wherein R4 forms
lS the symmetrical bis compound are obtained by directly
oxidizing with iodine a product of formula I wherein
R4 is hydrogen.

As indicated above, the compounds of this
invention have several centers of asymmetry. These
compounds accordingly exist in stereoisomeric forms
or in racemic mixtures thereof. The various
stereoisomeric forms and mixtures thereof are all
within the scope of this invention. The above
described methods of synthesis can utilize the
racemate or one of the enantiomers as starting material.
When a mixture of stereoisomers is obtained as the
product, the stereoisomeric forms can be separated,
if desired, by conventional chromatographic or
fractional crystallization methods or by conversion
to a salt with an optically active base, followed
by fractional crystallization or similar known
methods. In general, those compounds are preferred
wherein the proline moiety is in the L-configuration,
the carbamate group is cis and the acyl side chain
has the D-configuration.
The compounds of this invention form basic
salts with a variety of inorganic or organic bases.
The salt forming ion derived from such bases can
be metal ions, e.g., aluminum, alkali metal ions,
such as sodium or potassium, alkaline earth metal
ions such as calcium or magnesium, or an amine
salt ion, of which a number are known for this
purpose, for example, aralkylamines like, dibenzyl-
amine, N.N-dibenzylethylenediamine, lower alkyl-
amines like methylamine, triethylamine,
t-butylamine, procaine, lower alkylpiperidines
like N-ethylpiperidine, cycloalkylamines like
cyclohexylamine, dicyclohexylamine, l-adamantaneamine,

benzathine, or salts dcrived ~rom amino acids likc
arginine, lysine or thc like. Thc physiologically
ace~)table salts like thc sodium or potassium salts
can be used medicinally as described below and are
preferred. These and other salts which are not
necessarily physiologically acceptable are useful
in isolating or purifying a product acceptable for the
purposes described below as well as purifying or
isolating intermediates, as illustrated in the examples.
The salts are produced by reacting the acid form of
the compound with an equivalent of the base supplying
the desired basic ion in a medium in which the salt
precipitates or in aqueous medium and then lyophili-
zing. The free acid form can be obtained from the
salt by conventional neutralization techniques, e.g.,
with potassium bisulfate, hydrochoric acid, etc.
The compounds of this invention inhibit the
conversion of the decapeptide angiotensin I to angio-
tensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme and there-
fore are useful in reducing or relieving hypertension
in various mammalian species, e.g., cats, dogs, mice,
rats, etc., having elevated blood pressure. Thus
by administration of a hypotensively effective amount
of a composition containing one or a combination of
compounds of formula I or physiologically acceptable
salt thereof, hypertension in the species of mammal
suffering therefrom is reduced or alleviated.

divided daily doses, provided in a basis of
about 0.1 to 100 mg. per kilogram per day, preferably

model experiments described by S. L. ~ngel, T. R.
Schaeffer, M. 1~. Waugh and B. Rubin, Proc. Soc.
Exp. Biol. Med. 143, 483 (1973). The substance is
preferably administered orally, but parenteral routes
such as subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intravenously
or intraperitoneally can also be employed.
The compounds of this invention can also be
formulated in combination with a diuretic for the
treatment of hypertension. A combination product
comprising a compound of this invention and a
diuretic can be administered in an effective amount
which comprises (for a 70 kg. mammal) a total daily
dosage of about 30 to 600 mg., preferably about 30 to
300 mg., of a compound of this invention, and about
15 to 300 mg., preferably about 15 to 200 mg. of the
diuretic, to a mammalian species in need thereof.
Exemplary of the diuretics contemplated for use in
combination with a compound of this invention are the
thiazide diuretics, ~ , chlorthiazide, hydrochlor-
thiazide, flumethiazide, hydroglumethiazide, bendroflu-

acid, ticrynafen, chlorthalidone, furosemide,
bumetanide, triamterene, amiloride and spirono-
lactone, and salts of such compounds.
The compounds of this invention can be utilized
to achieve the reduction of blood pressure by formu-
lating in compositions such as tablets, capsules orelixirs for oral administration or in sterile

solutions or suspcnsions for parenteral administra-
tion. ~bout lO to 500 my. of a compound or mixture
of compounds of formula I or physiologically
acceptable salt is compounded wi-th a physiologically
acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder,
preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc., in a unit
dosage form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical
practice. The amount of active substance in these
compositions or preparations is such that suitable
dosage in the range indicated is obtained.
Illustrative of the adjuvants which may be
incorporated in tablets, capsules and the like are
the following: a binder such as gum tragacanth,
acacia, corn starch or gelatin; an excipient such
as dicalcium phosphate or microcrystalline cellulose;
a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato
starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such
as magnesium stearate; a sweetening agent such as
sucrose, lactose or saccharin; a flavoring agent such
as peppermint, oil of wintergreen or cherry. When
the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain
in addition to materials of the above type a liquid
carrier such as a fatty oil. Various other materials
may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify
the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance,
tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar or both.
A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound,
sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propyl
parabens as preservatives, a dye and a flavoring
such as cherry or orange flavor.
