(4S)-1-Alkyl-3-<acyl>-2-oxoimidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid derivatives (3) were prepared by two methods.Their angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities and antihypertensive effects were evaluated, and the structure-activity relationships were discussed.The dicarboxylic acids 3a-n possessing S,S,S configuration showed potent in vitro ACE inhibitory activities with IC 50 values of 1.1x10^-8-1.5x10^-9 M.The most potent compound in this series, monoester 3p, had an ID 50 value of 0.24 mg/kg, po for inhibition of angiotensin I induced pressor response in normotensive rats and produced a dose-dependent decrease in systolic blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) at doses of 1-10 mg/kg, po.
