Sa. Smith et al., THE IDENTIFICATION OF A NOVEL RENIN INHIBITOR OF EQUIVALENT EFFICACY FOLLOWING ORAL OR INTRAVENOUS ADMINISTRATION, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(11), 1994, pp. 1291-1296
The identification and in vitro potency of a novel series of renin inh
ibitors, based on pyrido-fused [6,6] ring systems is described. The sy
