Abstract: Amino acid derivatives with renin-inhibiting properties, a process for the preparation thereof, agents containing these, and the use thereofThe invention relates to renin-inhibiting amino acid derivatives of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is a radical of a substituted nitrogen-containing heterocycle such as piperidine, X is CO, CS, SO.sub.2 or SO, Y is CH.sub.2, O or S, B is the radical of an amino acid of the formula H--B--OH, and R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are as defined in the description, a process for the preparation thereof, agents containing these, and the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to new comoounds having a cognition adjuvant action, to the use of ACE inhibitors as medicaments having a cognition adjuvant action, to agents containing them, and to the use thereof for the treatment and prophylaxis of cognitive dysfunctions.

Abstract: Dipeptide derivatives having an enzyme inhibitory action Compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents a (substituted) heterocyclyl-alkyl, -alkoxy, -cycloalkyl or -cycloalkoxy and the corresponding heterocyclylmercapto radicals, A and B independently of one another denote an amino acid, R.sup.2 is hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkyl-alkyl, aryl or aryl-alkyl, R.sup.3 represents hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, aryl-alkyl or hydroxyl and R.sup.4 denotes a radical (CH.sub.2).sub.0-4 CHR.sup.5 -D where R.sup.5 =hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino, hydroxyl, azido or halogen and D=(substituted) heterocyclyl, have enzyme-inhibiting properties. Processes for the preparation of compounds of the formula I and their use in the treatment of hypertension and viral diseases are described.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 represent optionally substituted aliphatic, alicyclic, alicyclic-aliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic, heteroaromatic or heteroaromatic-aliphatic radicals, with R.sup.2, if not already covered by the above-mentioned definitions, denoting the side-chain, which is protected if necessary, of a naturally occurring .alpha.-amino acid, R.sup.4 can additionally represent ##STR2## R.sup.3 denotes an optionally substituted aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic or araliphatic radical, or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 form, together with the atoms carrying them, a mono-, bi- or tricyclic heterocyclic ring system,agents containing these, and the use thereof as pharmaceuticals having a psychotropic action for the prophylaxis of disorders of the central nervous system, especially having a nootropic action for the treatment of cognitive dysfunctions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 are defined in the description, processes for their preparation, their use for the treatment and prophylaxis of cognitive dysfunctions and pharmaceuticals containing them and processes for their preparation.

Abstract: The invention relates to amino acid esters of the formula I ##STR1## in which n is 2 and R, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 have the meaning indicated in the description, to a process and intermediates for the preparation thereof, to agents containing them, and the use thereof.
