title: Synthesis of N-(phosphonoacetyl)-dipeptide derivatives and evaluation of their antihypertensive activity.
abstract: A series of N-(phosphonoacetyl)-dipeptide derivatives was synthesized for pharmacological testing as antihypertensive compounds. Several of these compounds demonstrated a moderate antihypertensive effect in Wistar spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) with p.o. dosing. ACE inhibition by the compounds was studied using ACE from rat plasma and lung. Inhibitors containing esterified C-termini are pro-drugs and showed activity only for plasma ACE.
