The compounds of formula I form salts with a variety of inorganic and organic acids. The nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful in isolating or purifying the product. Such pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those formed with hydrochloric acid, methanesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, maleic acid, etc. The salts are obtained by reacting the product with an equivalent amount of the acid in a medium in which the salt precipitates.
The compounds of formula I contain asymmetric centers when any or all of R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are other than hydrogen and at the carbon to which the --OH group is attached. Thus, the compounds of formula I can exist in diastereoisomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The above-described processes can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods.
The compounds of formula I, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are antihypertensive agents. They inhibit the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I and therefore, are useful in reducing or relieving angiotensin related hypertension. The action of the enzyme renin on angiotensinogen, a pseudoglobulin in blood plasma, produces angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is converted by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to angiotensin II. The latter is an active pressor substance which has been implicated as the causative agent in several forms of hypertension in various mammalian species, e.g., humans. The compounds of this invention intervene in the angiotensinogen.fwdarw.(renin).fwdarw.angiotensin I.fwdarw.(ACE).fwdarw.angiotensin II sequence by inhibiting renin and reducing or eliminating the formation of the pressor substance angiotensin II. Thus by the administration of a composition containing one (or a combination) of the compounds of this invention, angiotensin dependent hypertension in a species of mammal (e.g., humans) suffering therefrom is alleviated. A single dose, or preferably two to four divided daily doses, provided on a basis of about 100 to 1000 mg, preferably about 250 to 500 mg per kg of body weight per day is appropriate to reduce blood pressure. The substance is preferably administered orally, but parenteral routes such as the subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or intraperitoneal routes can also be employed.
The compounds of this invention can also be formulated in combination with a diuretic for the treatment of hypertension.
A combination product comprising a compound of this invention and a diuretic can be administered in an effective amount which comprises a total daily dosage of about 1000 to 6000 mg, preferably about 3000 to 4000 mg of a compound of this invention, and about 15 to 300 mg, preferably about 15 to 200 mg of the diuretic, to a mammalian species in need thereof. Exemplary of the diuretics contemplated for use in combination with a compound of this invention are the thiazide diuretics, e.g., chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, flumethiazide, hydroflumethiazide, bendroflumethiazide, methylclothiazide, trichloromethiazide, polythiazide or benzthiazide as well as ethacrynic acid, tricrynafen, chlorthalidone, furosemide, musolimine, bumetanide, triamterene, amiloride and spironolactone and salts of such compounds.
The compounds of formula I can be formulated for use in the reduction of blood pressure in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration or in sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral administration. About 100 to 500 mg of a compound of formula I is compounded with physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc., in a unit dosage form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. The amount of active substance in these compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage in the range indicated is obtained.
The present invention will now be described by the following examples, however, the invention should not be limited to the details therein.
