Abstract: The present invention is directed to aspartic protease inhibitors. Certain aspartic protease inhibitors of the invention can be represented by the following structural formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors. The present invention is further directed to methods of antagonizing one or more aspartic proteases in a subject in need thereof, and methods for treating an aspartic protease mediated disorder in a subject using the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to aspartic protease inhibitors represented by the following structural formula; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the aspartic protease inhibitors of Structural Formula (I). Methods of antagonizing one or more aspartic proteases in a subject in need thereof, and methods for treating an aspartic protease mediated disorder in a subject using these aspartic protease inhibitors are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds according to Formula I: wherein the variables are defined herein. Such compounds are can bind aspartic proteases to inhibit their activity. They are useful in the treatment or amelioration of diseases associated with aspartic protease activity. Also described herein are methods of antagonizing aspartic protease inhibitors in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to Formula I.

Abstract: Described are diaminopropanols of which are orally active and bind to renin to inhibit its activity. They are useful in the treatment or amelioration of diseases associated with elevated levels of renin activity or in the treatment of aspartic protease mediated disorders. Also described is a method for the use of the diaminopropanols in ameliorating or treating renin related disorders in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: Diaminoalkanes of Formula I have now been found which are orally active and bind to aspartic proteases to inhibit their activity. They are useful in the treatment or amelioration of diseases associated with elevated levels of aspartic protease activity. The invention also relates to a method for the use of the compounds of Formula I in ameliorating or treating aspartic protease related disorders in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of a compound of Formula I.

Abstract: 1-Acylamino-2-hydroxy-3-amino-?-arylalkanes of formula I. and the salts thereof, have renin-inhibiting properties and can be used as antihypertensive, medicinally active ingredients.
