This invention relates to analogs of peptidase substrates in which the nitrogen atom of the scissile amide bond of a partial retropeptide analog of the substrate has been replaced by a difluoromethylene moiety. These peptidase substrate analogs provide specific enzyme inhibitors for a variety of proteases, the inhibition of which exert valuable pharmacological activities and therefore have useful physiological consequences in a variety of disease states.

This invention relates to novel analogs of certain peptidase substrates in which the nitrogen atom of the scissile amide bond has been replaced with a difluoromethylene moiety and in which the carbonyl moiety of its adjacent amide bond has been replaced with a terminal amine function, said novel analogs having the property of inhibiting renin and which are useful in the treatment of hypertension.
