Neutral endopeptidase (nep) and human soluble endopeptidase (hsep) inhibitors to reduce harmful effects of perfusion deficiency of organs

摘要

The invention relates to a novel use of benzazepine, benzoxazepine, benzothiazepine-N-acetic acid and phosphono-substituted benzazepinone derivatives having both neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and/or human soluble endopeptidase (hSEP), and endothelin convertase (ECE), inhibitory activity. The compounds of this invention are useful for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions to reduce harmful effects of symptomless progressive disseminated perfusion deficiency of organs, or parts thereof, that may be suggestive of systemic diseases.
