- X is absent, PHE, HOMOPHE, NAPHTHYLALA, CYCLOHEXYLALA, TYR, or TYR(OMe) with the proviso that when A is BNMA, BBSP, or ##STR229## X is absent. Y is ##STR230## R.sub.12 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aralkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or ##STR231## where R.sub.13 is H or lower alkyl; R.sub.14 is H or CH.sub.3 ; and W is ##STR232## where R.sub.10 is lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylmethyl or benzyl and R.sub.11 is lower alkyl.
- 2. A peptide according to claim 1 wherein A is BOC, BNMA, BBSP, BMA, ##STR233## X is absent, PHE, NAPHTHYLALA, TYR(OMe) with the proviso that when A is BNMA, BBSP, or ##STR234## Y is ##STR235## W is ##STR236## where R.sub.10 is cycloalkyl or cycloalkylmethyl.
- 3. A peptide according to claim 2 wherein Y is ##STR237## wherein R.sub.12 is hydrogen or lower alkyl.
- 4. A peptide according to claim 1 wherein A is ##STR238## X is PHE, NAPHTHYLALA, or TR(OMe), and W is ##STR239## wherein R.sub.10 is cyclohexyl or cyclohexylmethyl.
- 5. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a renin-inhibitory effective amount of a peptide as claimed in claim 1 together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- 6. A method of treating renin-associated hypertension which comprises administering to a mammal a pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 5.
- 7. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a renin-associated hyperaldosteronism-inhibitory effective amount of a peptide as claimed in claim 1 together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- 8. A method of treating renin-associated hyperaldosteronism which comprises administering to a mammal a pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 7.
- 9. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an amount effective for treating renin-associated congestive heart failure of a peptide as claimed in claim 1 together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- 10. A method of treating renin-associated congestive heart failure which comprises administering to a mammal a pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 9.
- 11. A method of determining the presence of renin-associated hypertension in a patient, comprising administering to such a patient, at a hypotensive dosage level and as a single dose, a peptide according to claim 1, followed by monitoring of said patient's blood pressure.
- 12. A peptide according to claim 1 wherein the peptide is a member selected from the group consisting of: ##STR240## IVA-PHE-NHCH(CO.sub.2 CH.sub.3)CO-CAD, ##STR241##
