these compounds. Reducing the ring size gave much less potent compounds. The most potent analogue of the series, CO(CH2)2CHPhCO-D-Phe-Lys-D-Trp-NH(CH2)2CHMe (14, IC50 = 26 nM), was obtained by substituting the methylene group nearer to the D-Phe residue by a -CHPh- group. Compound 14 was 15-fold more potent in inhibiting human renin than porcine renin.

氨基酸残基和环的大小是这些化合物非常重要的特征。减小环的大小得到的有效化合物少得多。该系列最有效的类似物CO( )2CHPhCO-D-Phe-Lys-D-Trp-NH( )2CHMe(14,IC50 = 26 nM)通过取代更靠近D-的亚甲基获得-CHPh-基团的Phe残基。化合物14在抑制人肾素方面的效力比猪肾素高15倍。
