Abstract: Novel nonpeptides characterized as having a carbamic group which are antagonists of endothelin I are described, as well as methods for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same. The compounds are useful in treating elevated levels of endothelin and are therefore useful in the treatment of hypertension, myocardial infarction, diabetes, cerebral vasospasm, cirrhosis, septic shock, congestive heart failure, endotoxic shock, subarachnoid hemorrhage, arrhythminas, asthma, chronic and acute renal failure, preeclampsia, atherosclerotic disorders including Raynaud's disease and restenosis, angina, cancer, pulmonary hypertension, ischemic disease, gastric mucosal damage, hemorrhagic shock, stroke, head injury, and ischemic bowel syndrome.
