Abstract: Treatment and/or inhibition of renal dysfunction, disease or disorder in larger mammals, and particularly in humans, especially in human patients suffering from diabetes, using benzazepine-N-acetic acid derivatives which contain an oxo-group in the ?-position to the nitrogen atom and are substituted in position 3 by a 1-(carboxyalkyl)cyclopentylcarbonylamino radical, and/or salts or biolabile esters or physiologically acceptable solvates thereof, and production of pharmaceutical compositions and products suitable for treatment and/or inhibition of renal dysfunction, disease or disorder, particularly in diabetic patients, but also in patients with syndrome X or in patients with a renal dysfunction, disease and/or disorder, which patients are additionally hypertensive, obese, hyperglycemic and/or subject to a metabolic disorder.

Abstract: The use of benzazepin-N-acetic acid derivatives which contain an oxo group in the a position to the nitrogen atom and are substituted in the 3 position by a 1-(carboxyalkyl)-cyclopentyl-carbonyl-amino radical, and of their salts and biolabile esters, for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of heart damage caused by cardiotoxic doses of medicaments or chemicals, in larger mammals and in particular humans. The invention is particularly applicable to the prophylaxis and/or treatment of heart damage, in particular to the myocardium, which may occur during cytostatic chemotherapy. The invention also includes the use of the afore-mentioned benzazepin-N-acetic acid derivatives for adjuvant treatment in therapies in which medicaments having oxidative-toxic side-effects are used, and the preparation of medicaments suitable for this prophylaxis and/or treatment or adjuvant treatment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of benzazepine-N-acetic acid derivatives which contain an oxo-group in the &agr;-position to the nitrogen atom and are substituted in position 3 by a 1-(carboxyalkyl)cyclo-entylcarbonylamino radical, and their salts and biolabile esters for the treatment of hypertension, particularly for the treatment of certain forms of secondary hypertension, in larger mammals and particularly humans, and for the production of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for this treatment. The cause of the hypertension to be treated may have a wide variety of origins. The invention particularly relates to the treatment of those forms of secondary hypertension which may occur as a result of various non-cardiac diseases.
