The compounds of ~orlmula I and their pharmaceutically usable salts have an inhibitory activity on the natural enzyme renin. The latter passes ~om the ~idneys into the blood and ~ere brings about the cleavage of angiotensinogen wi~h the formation of the decapeptide 5 angiotensin I which is then cleaved in the llmgs, the kidneys and other o-rgans to the octapeptide angiotensin II. AngiotensiIl II increases the blood pressure not only directly by arte~al constriction, but also indi-rectly by the liberation o`f the so~ium ion-retaining hormone aldosterone from the adrenal gland, Wit~L which is associated an increase in the 10 extracellular fluid volume. This increase is attributed to the action of angiotensin II itself or to the heptapeptide angiotensin III which is formed therefrom as a cleavage product. Inhibitors of the en~ymatic activity of renin brings about a decrease in the formation of ang~otensin I and as a consequence thereof the formation of a smaller amount of 15 angiotensin II. The reduced concentration of $his act*e peptide hor-mone is the actual reason fior the blood pressure-lowering activity of renin inhibitors.

The activity of renin inhibitors can be demonstrated experiment-2D ally by means of the in vitro test described hereinafter:

In vitro test with l2ur_human reni~

The test is carried out in Eppendorf` te~t tubes. The incubation 25 mixture consists of (1) 100 ml of human reni]~l in buf~er A (O.lM sodiumphosphate solution, pH 7.4, containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin, O.l~o ~odium azide and 1~ ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid), suflEicient ~or a renin activity of 2-3 ng of angiotensin Vml/hr.; (2) 145 ml of buf~er A: (3) 30 ml of 10 mM human tetradecapeptide renin substrate 30 (hTD) in 10 mM hydro- chloric acid: (4) 15 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide with or wi~hout inhibitor and (5) 10 ml of a 0.03 molar solution of hydro-xyquinoline sulphate in water.

The samples are incubated for three hours at 37C and, respect-35 *ely, 4~ in triplicate. 2 ~100 ml samples per e~perimental test tubeare used in order to measure the production of angiotensin I via RIA
(standard radioimmunoassay; clinical assay solid phase kit). Cross reactivities of the ant;body used in the RIA are: angiotensin I 100%;

2~8~23~
angiotenæin II 0.0013%; hTD (angiotensin I-Val-Ile-His-Ser-VH 0.09%.
The production of angiotensin I is dete~nined by the dif~erence between ~e experiment at 37C and that at 4C.

The following coIltrols are carried out:

(a) incubation of hTD samples without renin and without inhibitor at ~ -37C an'd'4C.~''The ai~erence''bet'ween these'two values gives the base value of the ang~otensin I production.
(b) Incubation OI hTD samples with renin, but without inhibitsr at 37C and 4C. The difference between these values gives the maximal value of angiot~nsin I production.

~5 In each sample the base value of the angiotensin I production is subtracted from the angiotensin I production which is determined. The dif~erence between the ma~imal value and the base value gives the value of the ma~imal substrate hydrolysis (- 100%) by renin.
The results are given as ICso values ~which denote that concen-tration of the inhibitor at which the enzymatic activity is inhibited by 50%. The IC~o values are determined from a linear regression curve from a logit-log plot.

The results obtained in this test are compiled in the following Table:
