Claim 1

A renin inhibiting compound of the formula: wherein A is hydrogen; loweralkyl; arylalkyl; OR₁₀ or SR₁₀ wherein R₁₀ is hydrogen, loweralkyl or aminoalkyl; NR₁₁R₁₂ wherein R₁₁ and R₁₂ are independently selected from hydrogen, loweralkyl, aminoalkyl, cyanoalkyl and hydroxyalkyl; wherein B is NH, alkylamino, S, O, CH₂ or CHOH and R₁₃ is loweralkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, hydroxyalkoxy, dihydroxyalkoxy, arylalkoxy, arylalkoxyalkyl, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, (hydroxyalkyl)(alkyl)amino, aminoalkyl, N-protected aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, (N-protected)(alkyl)aminoalkyl, dialkylaminoalkyl, (heterocyclic)alkyl, or an unsubstituted heterocyclic or a monosubstituted heterocyclic wherein the substituent is hydroxy, oxo, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or loweralkyl, provided that when the heterocyclic is unsaturated the substituent cannot be oxo; W is C=O or CHOH; U is CH₂ or NR₂, provided that when W is CHOH, U is CH₂; R₁ is loweralkyl, cycloalkylmethyl, benzyl, 4-methoxybenzyl, halobenzyl, (1-naphthyl)methyl, (2-naphthyl)methyl, (4-imidazoyl)methyl, α, α-dimethylbenzyl, 1-benzyloxyethyl, phenethyl, phenoxy, thiophenoxy or anilino; provided if R₁ is phenoxy, thiophenoxy or anilino, B is CH₂ or CHOH or A is hydrogen; R₂ is hydrogen or loweralkyl; R₃ is loweralkyl, loweralkenyl, [(alkoxy)alkoxy]alkyl, (thioalkoxy)alkyl, benzyl or heterocyclic ring substituted methyl; R₄ is loweralkyl, cycloalkylmethyl or benzyl; R₅ is vinyl, formyl, hydroxymethyl or hydrogen; R₇ is hydrogen or loweralkyl; R₈ and R₉ are independently selected from OH and NH₂; and R₆ is hydrogen, loweralkyl, vinyl or arylalkyl; provided that when R₅ and R₇ are both hydrogen and R₈ and R₉ are OH, the carbon bearing R₅ is of the "R" configuration and the carbon bearing R₆ is of the "S" configuration; or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters thereof.
