Abstract

Described in this paper is the synthesis and pharmacological activity of five metabolites of the angiotensin II antagonist tasosartan (1). Of particular interest is the effect of the additional acidic group of the enol metabolite (8) on activity. As suggested by the structural-activity relationship of other angiotensin II antagonist series, a second acidic group can improve receptor binding activity but decrease in vivo activity after oral dosing. The metabolic ...
