There are described compounds of formula I*, STR1 wherein R. sub.1 is lower alkoxycarbonyl,R 2 is secondary or tertiary lower alkyl or lower alkylthio-lower alkyl, R. sub.3 is phenyl that is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more lower alkoxy radicals, or C 4-C 8 cycloalkyl,R. sub.4 is phenyl or cyclohexyl each substituted in the 4-position by unsaturated heterocyclyl that is bonded by way of a ring carbon atom, has from 5 to 8 ring atoms, contains from 1 to 4 hetero atoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, sulfinyl (--SO--) and sulfonyl (--SO 2--) and is unsubstituted or substituted by lower alkyl or by phenyl-lower alkyl,R 5, independently of R 2, has one of the meanings mentioned for R 2, andR 6, independently of R. sub.1, is lower alkoxycarbonyl,or salts thereof, provided that at least one salt-forming group is present. The compounds are inhibitors of retroviral aspartate protease and can be used, for example, in the treatment of AIDS. They exhibit outstanding pharmacodynamic properties.
