A--COOH (III)
[wherein A stands for a ring selected from a benzene ring, a furan ring, a thiophene ring and a pyridine ring (on which ring 1-3 substituents or atoms selected from amino groups, nitro groups, lower alkanoylamino groups, hydroxyl groups, lower alkanoyloxy groups, sulfamoyl groups and halogen atoms may be present)], or a reactive functional derivative thereof.

In case a compound of the general formula (II) is reacted with a carboxylic acid of the general formula (III) or a reactive functional derivative thereof a proper solvent is selectively used and the reaction is preferably carried out within a temperature range from room temperature to the boiling point of the reaction mixture. Preferable examples of the solvent include benzene, toluene, methylene chloride, chloroform, ether, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, and dimethylsulfoxide. If appropriate, the reaction can be carried out in the absence of such solvent.

Compounds of the general formula (I) wherein A stands for a radical of (ii) are obtained by reacting a compound of the general formula: ##STR10## (wherein R.sup.1 stands for a lower alkyl group), with an amino acid of the general formula: ##STR11## (where R.sup.3 stands for a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a phenyl(lower)alkyl group, a hydroxyphenyl(lower)alkyl group, a lower alkylmercapto(lower)alkyl group, a benzyl-mercapto(lower)alkyl group, a guanidino(lower)alkyl group, a nitroguanidino(lower)alkyl group, indolyl(lower)alkyl group, a carbamoyl(lower)alkyl group or a carboxy(lower)-alkyl group, R.sup.4 for a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, R.sup.5 for a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkanoyl group, a benzoyl group or a benzyloxycarbonyl group, and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 may be combined to form a grouping ##STR12## which forms a ring), or a reactive functional derivative thereof.
Compounds of the general formula (V) are easily available as amino acids such as glycine, acetylglycine, N,N-dimethyl-glycine, N-methylglycine, alanine, phenylalanine, phenylglycine, valine, norvaline, leucin, isoleucin, serine, threonine, methionine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamine, glutamic acid, pyroglutamine, arginine, nitroarginine, tryptophan, proline, cystein, tyrosin, methionine, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-2-carboxylic acid, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid and S-benzylcystein as well as functional derivative thereof.
In general, a process utilized for peptide synthesis can be applied to the reaction between a compound of the general formula (IV) and the amino acid or a reactive derivative thereof. During this reaction, a proper protecting group is selected and used if protection is necessary for the amino group and side chains of the amino acid under the reaction conditions used.
Mentioned as reactive functional derivatives of the compounds represented by the general formula (V) are acid halides, especially acid chlorides, azides, mixed acid anhydrides such as those with monoalkyl carbonates, and active esters such as p-nitrophenyl esters, 2,4,5-trifluorophenyl esters, N-phthalimide esters and N-oxysuccinimide esters. A compound wherein A is a radical of (ii) can be obtained in a good yield by reacting a compound of the general formula (IV) with such reactive functional derivative.
In case an amino acid itself of the general formula (V) is used, a compound of the general formula (I) can be obtained in a good yield by reacting the amino acid with a compound of the general formula (IV) in the presence of a proper coupling reagent such an N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or the like. In a compound wherein A is a radical (ii) and R.sup.5 is benzyloxycarbonyl group, the NH- bond can easily be regenerated by a usual means for eliminating protective groups, for example, by catalytic reduction with hydrogen and palladium-carbon or by the hydrogen bromide-acetic acid method.
The compounds thus obtained wherein A is a radical (ii) can be converted, if desired, into their physiologically acceptable inorganic salts such as hydrochlorides or organic acid salts such as oxalates, tartarates, etc. in a usual manner.
The compounds wherein A is a radical (ii) have plural asymmetrical carbon atoms. The present invention also involves optical isomers antipodes of these compounds. If resolution of racemates is desired, a compound of the general formula (IV) is optically resolved in a suitable manner and then reacted with a compound of the general formula (V) in d-form or 1-form. Otherwise, a compound of the general formula (IV) in racemic form is reacted with one of the optical antipodes of a compound of the general formula (V) to form a diastereomer which is then subjected to optical resolution.
The compounds wherein A is a radical (ii) can be converted, if desired, into their physiologically acceptable proper salts with inorganic acids, such as hydrochlorides and sulfates, or with organic acids, such as oxalates and tartrates, according to a usual method.

All of the compounds concerned with the present invention are new substances and exhibit excellent pharmacological activities such as strong blood pressure depressing activity, platelets aggregation inhibiting activity and myocardial-contraction reinforcing activity.
The following experimental results have been obtained for platelets aggregation inhibiting activity and antihypersentive activity exhibited by the compounds with the present invention.
(1) Platelets aggregation inhibiting activity:
The influence on aggregation of platelets was examined according to the Born's method.sup.1). Blood extracted by inserting a cannula into the carotid artery of a rabbit under non-anesthetic conditions was mixed with a 3.8% solution of sodium citrate in a ratio of 9:1 and the mixture was subjected to centrifugal action for 10 minutes at 1100 r.p.m., using a laboratory centrifugal separator, whereby red blood corpuscles were precipitated to yield a platelets-rich plasma (referred to hereinafter simply as PRP). A small amount of PRP was placed in a cubette of Aglygometer and stirred with a small stirrer. To this were added successively a solution of a substance to be tested (pH 7.4, physiologically isotonic) and collagen to initiate aggregation of platelets. The difference in transmission of PRP in the process of aggregation was continuously recorded. The amount of collagen added for initiating the aggregation was set to a minimum amount enabling observation of the maximum aggregation. The strength of inhibiting the aggregation by the substance to be tested was calculated from the concentration of the substance to be tested which exhibited the same inhibiting effect as shown by 10.sup.-4 M aspirin. Designation of the aggregation-ihibiting activity:-(no inhibiting effect), .+-.(weaker in the aggregation-inhibiting activity than aspirin), +(equivalent to aspirin), ++ (below 10 times as much as aspirin), +++ (below 100 times as much as aspirin), and ++++ (above 100 times as much as aspirin).

(2) Anti-hypertensive activity:
After the development of hypertension in rats of at least 20 week-old, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were starved for 17 hours and used for the test. The sistolic blood pressure of the tail artery was measured by an indirect method under non-anesthetic conditions before administration of a medicament and 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours after administration of the medicament. The substance to be tested was dissolved or suspended in a 0.2% CMC solution and orally administered to a group consisting of 3-5 rats showing a sistolic blood pressure of 180 mmHg or higher. The results of the experiments made for the compounds of this invention according to the above mentioned methods is shown in Table 1 (in the table, A stands for classification of the compounds corresponding to the definition of A in the above general formula).
