English Abstract


ABSTRACT
A compound of the formula
<IMG>
including a hydrochloride salt thereof which is useful
as an intermediate in the preparation of a compound of
the formula
<IMG>
The latter compounds are themselves useful as hypotensive
agents due to their angiotensin converting enzyme in-
hibition activity and, depending upon the definition of
X1 may also be useful as analgesics due to their enkeph-
alinase inhibition activity.

The term lower alkyl used in defining
various symbols refers to straight or branched
chain radicals having up to seven carbons. The
preferred lower alkyl groups are up to four
carbons with methyl and ethyl mos-t prefer~ed.
Similarly the terms lower alkoxy and lower
alkylthio refer to such lower alkyl groups
attached to an oxygen or sul~ur.
The term cycloalkyl refers to saturated
rings of 3 to 7 carbon atoms with cyclopentyl and
cyclohexyl being most preferred.
The term halogen refers to chloro, bromo and
fluoro.
The term halo substituted lower alkyl refers
to such lower alkyl groups described above in
which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by
chloro, bromo or fluoro groups such as
trifluoromethyl, which is preferred, pentafluoro-
ethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, chloromethyl, bromo-
methyl, etc.
The symbols -(CH2)m ~ , -(CH2)m ~ 3 ,
and -(CH2)m~ represent that the alkylene
bridge is attached to an available carbon atom.

As shown above, the amino or imino acidportion of the molecule of the products of
formula I is in the L-configuration. An
asymmetric center is also present in the
acylalkylaminocarbonyl portion of the molecule
when R3 is other than hydrogen. Thus, the
compounds of formula I can exist in
diastereoisomerlc forms or in mixtures
thereof. The above described processes
can utilize racemates, enantiomers
or diastereomers as starting materials.
When diastereomeric products are
prepared, they can be separated by
conventional chromatographic or fractional
crystallization methods.

The products of formula I wherein the imino
acid ring is monosubstituted give rise to cis-
trans isomerism. The configuration of the final
product will depend upon the configuration of the
R7, R8 and R9 substituent in the starting material
of formula XIV.
The compounds of formula I, and the pharma-
ceutically acceptable salts thereof, are
hypotensive agents. They inhibit the conversion
of the decapeptide angiotensin I to angiotensin II
and, therefore, are useful in reducing or
relieving angiotensin related hypertension. The
action of the enzyme renin on angiotensinogen, a
pseudoglobulin in blood, produces angiotensin I.
Angiotensin I is converted by angiotensin
converting enzyme (ACE) to angiotensin II. The
latter is an active pressor substance which has
been implicated as the causative agent in several
forms of hypertension in various mammalian
species, e.g., humans. The compounds of this
invention intervene in the angiotensinogen ~
(renin) ~ angiotensin I ~ angiotensin II sequence
by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme and
reducing or eliminating the formation of the
pressor substance angiotensin II. Thus by the
administration of a composition containing one (or
a combination) of the compounds of this invention,
angiotensin dependent hypertension in a species of
mammal (e.g., humans) suffering therefrom is alleviated.

reduce blood pressure. The substance i5
preferably administered orally, but paren-teral
routes such as the subcutaneous, intramuscular,
intravenous or intraperitoneal routes 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 a total daily dosage of
abou 30 to 600 mg., preferably about 30 to 330 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, e.g., chlorothiazide,
hydrochlorothiazide, flumethiazide, hydroflume-
thiazide, bendroflumethiazide, methychlothiazide,
trichloromethiazide, polythiazide or ben~thiazide
as well as ethacrynic acid, ticrynafen,
chlorthalidone, furosemide, musolimine,

or elixirs for oral adrninistration, or in sterile
solutions or suspensions for parenteral

of formula I is compounded with physiologically
acceptable ~ehicle, 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 a suitable dosage in the range indicated
is obtained.
The compounds of formula I wherein X is
-NH-CH-COOR6 also possess enkephalinase inhibition

activity and are useful as analgesic agents.
Thus, by the administration of a composition
containing one or a combination of such compounds
of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt
thereof, pain is alleviated in the mammalian
host. A single dose, or preferably two to four
divided daily doses, provided on a basis of about
0.1 to about 100 mg. per kilogram of body weight
per day, preferably about 1 to about 50 mg. per
kilogram per day, produces the desired analgesic
activity. The composition is preferably
administered orally but parenteral routes such as
subcutaneous can also be employed.

dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (618 mg., 3 mmole) are
taken into tetrahydrofuran (10 ml.) with stirring
in an ice bath. The reaction proceeds overnight
at room temperature. The dicyclohexylurea is
filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated to
