Abstract
Abstract Fermentation of the microorganism Streptomyces sp. (MA6750) ATTC No. 55042 in the presence of the Angiotensin II (A II) receptor antagonist ##STR1## yields three analogs, each having a shikimate sugar-like moiety attached to the tetrazole, which are also A II antagonists useful in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure and other indications known to respond to A II antagonists.
