Abstract

A new class of potent antihypertensives has been discovered that exert their effect through blockade of the angiotensin I1 (AII) receptor. Most AII antagonists reported 80 far are peptide mimics of the endogenous vasoconstrictor octapeptide angiotensin 11. The compounds of this paper are nonpeptides and therefore constitute a new class of potent AI1 receptor antagonists. Based on the overlap of a conformation of AI1 with literature lead 3, a ...
