hypertension and heart failure, especially because of their high specificity for angiotensinogen. In the past a large number of peptidic renin inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Unfortunately, a majority of them showed poor oral absorption and rapid biliary uptake. The above limitations may result from the substrate-like structure of the synthesized inhibitors. Therefore, other structure...
