Abstract

Abstract A compound of the formula Z-His-Pro-Phe-His-X-X-Val-Tyr-(D-)-Y wherein the Xs are the same or different and selected from the group consisting of an aromatic, a chlorinated aromatic, an aliphatic and a chlorinated aliphatic amino acid residue; Y is a positively or negatively charged amino acid residue; and Z is a proline or a polyprolyl residue having up to 5 prolyl residues, is useful for decreasing renin-related high blood pressure.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 87 words
A compound of the formula Z-His-Pro-Phe-His-X-X-Val-Tyr-(D-)-Y wherein the X's are the same or different and selected from the group consisting of aromatic, an aliphatic and a chlorinated aliphatic amino acid phenylalanine, tyrosine, mono-chloro phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine and glycine; Y is selected from the group consisting of lysine, arginine, ornithine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and their alpha-carbon esters of lower aliphatic alcohols, and alpha-carbon primary or secondary lower aliphatic amides; and Z is a proline, hydroxyproline, thioproline or a polyproline residue having up to 5 prolyl residues.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 87 words
A compound of the formula Z-His-Pro-Phe-His-X-X-Val-Tyr-(D-)-Y wherein the X's are the same or different and selected from the group consisting of aromatic, an aliphatic and a chlorinated aliphatic amino acid phenylalanine, tyrosine, mono-chloro phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine and glycine; Y is selected from the group consisting of lysine, arginine, ornithine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and their alpha-carbon esters of lower aliphatic alcohols, and alpha-carbon primary or secondary lower aliphatic amides; and Z is a proline, hydroxyproline, thioproline or a polyproline residue having up to 5 prolyl residues.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
The compound of claim 1 wherein both Xs are phenylalanyl, Z is proline and Y is lysine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 35 words
A process for reducing blood pressure in an animal afflicted with high blood pressure related to renin excess, which comprises administering to said animal a blood pressure decreasing amount of a compound of claim 1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
The process of claim 3 wherein said compound is such that the Xs are phenylalanyl, Z is prolyl and Y is lysyl.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 11 words
The process of claim 3 wherein said animal is a human.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 34 words
A composition useful for reducing blood pressure related to renin in animals which comprises a blood pressure decreasing amount of a compound of the formula of claim 1, together with a pharmaceutically inert carrier.
