DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Preferred compounds of the present invention are those of the above general formula in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 each is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, preferably methyl; n is 1; M is cycloalkyl; one of X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 is --CH.sub.2 -- and the other is --CH.sub.2 --CHR.sub.1 --, Ar is o-phenylene; Y is hydroxy or alkoxy; Z.sub.1 is carbonyl, chemical bond, or the group --OCH.sub.2 --; Z2is sulfur; A and B each is hydrogen, halogen or the group --SO.sub.2 NH.sub.2 ; and C is halogen, amino, ##STR16## aminoalkyl, furanylmethylamino, aminoaryl or aminobenzyl.

The alkyl groups per se and in the alkyl moiety in aralkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, polycycloalkylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl and the like, and, in alkoxy, alkylmercapto, alkanoyl, carbalkoxy, alkylamino and dialkylamino, may be straight chained or branched and are preferably alkyl groups containing from 1 to 20 carbons. Such groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, amyl, iso-amyl, hexyl, octyl, dodecyl, and the like. Preferably the alkyl groups are lower alkyl containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

The alkenyl and alkynyl groups may also be branched or straight chained and contain from 2 to 6 carbon atoms. Such groups include vinyl, ethynyl, propenyl, allyl, isopropenyl, and the like.

Thase alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups may carry substituents such as hydroxy, alkoxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, mercapto, alkylmercapto, halo, and the like.

The cycloalkyl, polycycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aryalkyl, fused aryl-cycloalkyl, groups and the like contain from 3 to 16 carbon atoms and may carry substituents such as lower alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hydroxy, mercapto, amino, alkoxy, alkylmercapto, alkylamino, dialkylamino, halo, trifluoromethyl and the like. The groups include such radicals as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, adamantyl, norbornyl, phenyl, tolyl, benzyl, penethyl, dimethoxyphenyl, hydroxybenzyl, indanyl, naphthyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, decanhydronaphthyl, pyridyl, quinolyl, pyrrolidyl, pyrrolyl, morpholinyl, furyl, furfuryl, tetrahydrofurfuryl, benzimidazolyl, thienyl, imidazolyl, and the like.

The halo groups include fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo.

Compounds in accordance with the present invention are readily prepared employing known starting materials and procedures. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that compounds having an asymmetric carbon may exist in both levo and dextro forms, said forms being within the scope of the invention.

The present new compounds can be prepared by reaction of an acylating derivative of an acid of the formula ##STR17## with a compound of the formula ##STR18## in which substituents. A, B, C, Z, Z.sub.2, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, n and X are as defined hereinbefore.

The acylating derivative can be the free acid, acyl halide, lower alkyl ester, anhydride, and mixed anhydride, e.g., with acetic acid. The acylation reaction is conveniently effected using the free carboxylic acid, preferably with carbodiimides present as are commonly used in peptide synthesis, e.g., N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. A reaction solvent is normally used to permit more intimate contact of the reactants and includes such solvents as ethers of ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, alkyl ketones such as acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone and similar solvents. Reaction temperature is not critical since the reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature and even at lower temperatures. The use of high temperature for the reaction, e.g., reflux temperature of the reaction mixture, will shorten the reaction time but may lead to undesirable by-products. Generally, the reaction is allowed to proceed at room temperature until complete. The products are recovered by usual methods and purified as by recrystallization from suitable solvents.

In those compounds where free acid groups are present, e.g., where Y is OH, the compounds can readily form salts with suitable cations, preferably those which are pharmaceutically acceptable, e.g., both mono and polyvalent metal ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and the like, and ammonium ions derived from ammonia, primary secondary and tertiary amines.

The following examples are illustrative of the present invention.
