Now, the Applicant has discovered, surprising-
ly, that in contrast to the information contained in
the Du Pont de Nemours document, it is not essential
for the benzyl substituent to be located on a nitrogen
atom, in particular in the l-position (or 2-position)
of the pyrazole ring, but that it is pvssible to obtain
very effective products when this benzyl substituent is
on a carbon atom in the 4-position o~ the pyrazole
ring. Furthermore, the Applicant has discovered t~at
the presence of a group A and especially of an oxygen

` 2~13~8
atom in the 3-position (or 5-position) of the pyrazole,
in conjunction with the benzyl substituent in the 4-
position, produces compounds which are particularly
active as angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
05 According to one embodiment, Rl is an n-propyl
group.
According to another embodiment, Rl is an n-
butyl group.
According to one embodiment, R2 is a methyl
group.
According to another embodiment~ R2 is a 2,2,2-
trifluoroethyl group.

The novel compounds according to the invention
possess remarkable pharmacological properties as angio~
tensin II receptor antagonists and can be used in
therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular dis-
~
eases and in particular for the treatment of hyperten--
sion and cardiac insufficiency~
Thus the invention covers the pharm~ceutical
compositions which contain, as the active principle,
the drugs consistiny of a pharmaceutically effe.ctive
amount of at least one compound of formula (I) as

2 ~
- 33 -
defined above, as well as one of its pharmaceutically
acceptable addition salts if appropriate.
These compositions can be given by buccal,
rectal, parenteral, percutaneous or oculax administra~
05 tion.
These compositions can be solid or liquid and
presented in the pharmaceutical forms commonly used in
human medicine, such as, for example, simple or coated
tablets, gelatin capsules, granules, suppositories,
injectable preparations, percutaneous sys~ems and eye
lotions; they are prepared by the customary methods.
In said compositions, the active principle, consisting
of a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one
compound of formula (I~ as defined above, or one of its
pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts, can be
incorporated in excipients normally employed in these
pharmaceutical compositions, such as talc, gum arabic,
lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, polyvidone,
cellulose derivatives, cocoa butter, semisynthetic
glycerides, aqueous or non-aqueous vehicles, ~ats of
animal or vegetable origin, glycols, various wetting
agents, dispersants or emulsifiers, silicone gels,
certain polymers or copolymers, preservatives, flavor-
ings and colors.
The invention also covers a pharmaceutical com-
position with antagonistic activity towards angiotensin
II receptors, which makes it possible especially to
favorably treat cardiovascular diseases, in particular
hypertension and cardiac insuf f iciency, said composi-
ti.on comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount o:f
at least one compound of formula (I) mentioned above,
or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable addition
salts, which may be incorporated in a pharmaceutically
acceptable excipient, vehicle or carrier.
The dosage varies especially accordinq to the

~3~
- 34 -
mode of administra~ion, the complaint treated and the
subject in question.
For example, for an adult with an average
weight of 60 to 70 kg, it can vary between 1 and 400 mg
05 of active principle administered orally in one or more
daily doses, or from 0.01 to 50 mg admi:nistered paren-
terally in one or more daily doses.
The invention also covers a method of preparing
a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises incor-
porating a pharmaceutically effective amount of atleast one compound of formula (I) as defined above, or
one of its pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts,
into a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, vehicle
or carrier. According to a particular character.istic,
this pharmaceutical composition is formulated as
gelatin capsules or tablets containing from 1 to 400 mg
of active ingradient, or as injectable preparations
containing from 0.01 to 50 mg of active ingredient.
The invention also covers a method of thera-
peutic treatment for mammals, which comprises adminis-
tering to this mammal a therapeutically effective
a~ount of at least one compound of formula ~I) as
defined above, or one o~ its pharmaceutically accept-
able addition salts.
In animal therapeutics, the daily dose which
can be used should normally be between 1 and 100 mg per
kg.
Further characteristics and advantages of the
invention will be understood more clearly from the
following description of some Preparatory Examples,
which in no way imply a limitation but are given by way
of illustration.

Example_1: Ethyl 3-oxoheptanoate
Formula (II): Rl = n-butyl, Rlo = ethyl
05 70 g of Meldrum's acid are dissolved in 200 ml
of methylene chloride in the presence of 78.5 ml of
pyridine, the mixture is cooled to 0 C and 64.5 g of
valeroyl chloride are added dropwise at this tempera-
ture. When the addition is complete, the mixture is
left to stand at room temperature and stirred for two
hours. The solution is washed with a dilute solution
of hydrochloric a~id, dried over magnesium sulfate and
evaporated under vacuum to give 110 g of an oil, whi~h
is used as such for tAe next step. This oil is dis-
solved in 400 ml of absolute ethanol and the mixture is
refluxed for two hours and left to stand overnight at
room temperature. The ethanol is evaporated off under
vacuum and the oily residue is distilled under reduced
pressure to give 63.3 g of ethyl 3-oxoheptanoate in the

then added in portions and the mixture is subsequently
05 stirred for two hours at room temperature and then for
two hours under reflux. The ethanol is evaporated off
under vacuum and the residue obtained is taken up with
water and then extracted with chloroform. The organic
phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated
under vacuum. The oil obtained is taken up in a
mixture of ether and pentane and the crystals formed
are filtered off to remove the dibenzylated derivative
(m.p. = 135C); the mother liquors, ~oncentrated under
vacuum at 120C to remo~e the starting unsubstituted
keto-ester, give 69.2 g of ethyl 2-(4-nitrobenzyl)-3-

bromide with 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1,3-
oxazolidine) are then added. The mixture is then
refluxed for 4 hours and the solvents are evaporated
off under vacuum to give 16 g of methyl (4'-methylbi-
phenyl-2-yl)carboxylate in the form of an oil, which is
used as such for the next step.
B) Methyl (4'-bromomethylbiphenyl-2-yl)carboxylate
16 g of methyl (4'-methylbiphenyl-2-yl)carhoxy
late, prepared in A), are dissolved in 120 ml of carbon
tetrachloride in the presence of 12.6 g of N-hromo-
succinimide and 0.5 g of benzoyl peroxide. The mixture
is refluxed for 6 hours, the crystals are filtered off
and the remaining solution is washed with a solution of
sodium bicarbonate and then evaporated under vacuum.
The residue is taken up with ether and the solution is
then filtered on charcoal and evaporated under vacuum
to give 14.5 g of methvl (4'-bromomethylbiphenyl-2-
yl)carboxylate in the form of an oil, which is used as
such ~or the next step.

PHARMACOLOGY
I. Principle
05 The affinity o the products of the Examples
for angiotensin II receptors is evaluated ~y the
techni~ue of displacing a radioligand specifically
~ound to rat adrenal angiotensin II receptors.
II. Procedure
An aliquot of a rat adrenal gland homogenate
incubates in the presence of a single concentration of
~`25I]-SIAII (Sarl,Tyr~,Ile~-angiotensin II), which is
an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, and two concen
trations of competing agents (10-5 M, 10-7 M) for 60
min at 25C.
The reaction is completed by the addition of a
buffer, followed by rapid filtration through glasspaper
filters. The non-specific binding is determined in the
presence of angiotensin II.
III. Expression of the results
The results are expressed, for the concentra-
tions tested, as the percentage displacement of the
radioligand specifically bound to the adrenal angio-
tensin II receptors.
