Abstract: The piperidine derivatives of formula: ##STR1## in which X denotes --CO--, --CHOH-- or --CH(NH.sub.2)-- and Ar denotes ##STR2## in which R denotes hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and Y and Z, which may be identical or different, each denote a hydrogen atom or alkoxy of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and their addition salts with pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic acids are useful for treating and/or preventing disturbances of cardiac rhythm. These compounds are new except when X is --CO-- and Ar is 1-naphthyl or 1-isoquinolyl.

Abstract: Novel amino acid derivatives useful as a therapeutic agent are disclosed. These amino acid derivatives and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have a human renin inhibitory effect when administered orally and are useful for treatment of hypertension, especially renin-associated hypertension.

Abstract: Piperidines substituted in the 3- and/or 4-position are prepared by reacting a glutardialdehyde substituted in the 2- and/or 3-position with ammonia or a primary amine and hydrogen at elevated temperature and under superatmospheric pressure in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst.
