The identification of a series of imidazopyfidinylbenzofurans (1) as p
otent, non-peptide antagonists of angiotensin II is described. Several
of these compounds cause marked falls in blood pressure in the renal
artery ligated rat model of hypertension after oral administration, tw
o of which have high bioavailability and low plasma clearance in rats.
