title: Renin inhibitors containing statine and 6-aminohexanoic acid. Part III.
abstract: Five peptide renin inhibitors containing the sequence: Phe-His-Sta-epsilon Ahx (Sta = 4(S)-amino-3(S)-hydroxy-6-methylheptanoic acid, epsilon Ahx = 6-aminohexanoic acid) were synthesized and their potency was assayed in vitro by a spectrofluorometric method (assay of Leu-Val-Tyr-Ser released from N-acetyltetradecapeptide substrate by renin in the presence of an inhibitor). Their stability was tested by assay of Phe and Pro-Phe released after incubation with chymotrypsin. The most potent inhibitor was Boc-Phe-His-Sta-epsilon Ahx-OMe (IC50 = 5 x 10(-9) M/l), the most stable--Boc-Pro-Phe-His-Sta-epsilon Ahx-OMe (resistant to incubation with chymotrypsin for 4 h).
