Selective inhibition of the aspartyl protease renin has gained attraction as an interesting approach to control hypertension and associated cardiovascular risk factors given its unique position in the renin-angiotensin system. Using a combination of high-throughput screening, parallel synthesis, X-ray crystallography and structure-based design, we identified and optimized a novel series of potent and non-chiral indole-3-carboxamides with remarkable potency for renin. The most potent compound 5k displays an IC(50) value of 2 nM. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
