Abstract

The invention concerns novel renin-inhibitory peptides which are useful for treating renin-associated hypertension, congestive heart failure, hyperaldosteronism, and diseases caused by retroviruses including HTLV-I and -III. Processes for preparing the peptides, composition containing them, and methods of using them are included. Also included is a diagnostic method which uses the compounds to determine the presence of renin-associated hypertensions, or hyperaldosteronism.
