     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a central role in the regulation of normal blood pressure and seems to be critically involved in hypertension development and maintenance as well as congestive heart failure. Angiotension II (AII), an octapeptide hormone is produced mainly in the blood during the cleavage of angiotension I by angiotension converting enzyme (ACE) localized on the endothelium of blood vessels of lung, kidney, and many other organs, and is the end product of the RAS. AII is a powerful arterial vasoconstricter that exerts its action by interacting with specific receptors present on cell membranes. One of the possible modes of controlling the RAS is angiotension II receptor antagonism. Several peptide analogs of AII are known to inhibit the effect of this hormone by competitively blocking the receptors, but their experimental and clinical applications have been limited by their partial agonist activity and lack of oral absorption (M. Antonaccio. Clin. Exp. Hypertens. A4, 27-46 (1982); D. H. P. Streeten and G. H. Anderson, Jr. -Handbook of Hypertension, Clinical Pharmacology of Antihypertensive Drugs, ed. A. E. Doyle, Vol. 5, pp. 246-271, Elsevier Science Publisher, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1984). 
     Recently, several non-peptide compounds have been described as AII antagonists. Illustrative of such compounds are those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,207,324; 4,340,598; 4,576,958; 4,582,847 and 4,880,804 in European Patent Applications 028,834; 245,637; 253,310; and 291,969; and in articles by A. T. Chiu, et al. (Eur. J. Pharm. Exp. Therap, 157, 13-21 (1988)) and by P. C. Wong, et al. (J. Pharm. Exp. Therap, 247, 1-7(1988), Hypertension, 13, 489-497 (1989)). All of the U.S. patents, European Patent Applications 028,834, 253,310, 399,731 and 400,974 and the two articles disclose substituted imidazole compounds which are generally bonded through a lower alkyl bridge to a substituted phenyl. 
     Also, U.S. patent applications, Ser. Nos. 07/537,891 (filed Jun. 18, 1990) and 07/665,389 (filed Mar. 6, 1991) disclose quinazolinones with substitution patterns different from those disclosed herein which are also Angiotensin II antagonists.

     The novel process of this invention comprises the condensation of compounds VI and VII to yield VIII. To one skilled in the art it will be apparent that if Z in a final product is --NH-- or a nitogen with a functional group substituent, that nitrogen will require protection during this step followed by deprotection if desired. Similarly if R 1  ##STR97## has a terminal nitrogen such as in --SO 2  NH 2 , it also will require appropriate protection followed by deprotection and derivatization if desired. 
     The condensation is conducted in a polar aprotic solvent such as DMF, or DMSO, in the presence of a strong base such as: an alkali metal hydride preferably sodium hydride; an alkali metal alkane or aromatic such as n-butyl lithium, or phenyl lithium or the like. The reaction temperature is not critical and may be conducted at about 0° C. to about 100° C., but preferably and most conveniently at about room temperature or about 20°-30° C. The time required for the reaction to go to completion will depend on the temperature, and will vary from about 4 hours to about 24 hours. It is convenient to let it proceed for about 16 hours (overnight) at about room temperature. 
     t-Butyl or t-BOC protective groups are readily removed by treating the protected compound with anisole in TFA overnight at about room temperature. 
     The deprotected nitrogens can readily be acylated by treatment with the appropriate acyl chloride in the presence of a catalyst such as DMAP and an acid acceptor such as Et 3  N or pyridine in a solvent such as pyridine, CH 2  Cl 2  or the like. 
     The compounds of this invention form salts with various inorganic and organic acids and bases which are also within the scope of the invention. Such salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts like sodium and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts like the calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases; e.g., dicyclohexylamine salts, N-methyl-D-glucamine salts, salts with amino acids like arginine, lysine, and the like. Also, salts with organic and inorganic acids may be prepared; e.g., HCl, HBr, H 2  SO 4 , H 3  PO 4 , methanesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, maleic, fumaric, camphorsulfonic. The non-toxic, physiologically acceptable salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful, e.g., in isolating or purifying the product. 
     The salts can be formed by conventional means such as by reacting the free acid or free base forms of the product with one or more equivalents of the appropriate base or acid in a solvent or medium in which the salt is insoluble, or in a solvent such as water which is then removed in vacuo or by freezedrying or by exchanging the cations of an existing salt for another cation on a suitable ion exchange resin. 
     Angiotensin II (AII) is a powerful arterial vasoconstrictor, and it exerts its action by interacting with specific receptors present on cell membranes. The compounds described in the present invention act as competitive antagonists of AII at the receptors. In order to identify AII antagonists and determine their efficacy in vitro, the following two ligand-receptor binding assays were established. 
     Receptor Binding Assay Using Rabbit Aortae Membrane Preparation 
     Three frozen rabbit aortae (obtained from Pel-Freeze Biologicals) were suspended in 5 mM Tris-0.25M Sucrose, pH 7.4 buffer (50 ml), homogenized, and then centrifuged. The mixture was filtered through a cheesecloth and the supernatant was centrifuged for 30 minutes at 20,000 rpm at 4° C. The pellet thus obtained was resuspended in 30 ml of 50 mM Tris-5 mM MgCl 2  buffer containing 0.2% Bovine Serum Albumin and 0.2 mg/ml Bacitracin, and the suspension was used for 100 assay tubes. Samples tested for screening were done in duplicate. To the membrane preparation (0.25 ml) there was added  125  I-Sar 1  Ile 8  -angiotensin II [obtained from New England Nuclear] (10 μl; 20,000 cpm) with or without the test sample, and the mixture was incubated at 37° C. for 90 minutes. The mixture was then diluted with ice-cold 50 mM Tris-0.9% NaCl, pH 7.4 (4 ml) and filtered through a glass fiber filter (GF/B Whatman 2.4&#34; diameter). The filter was soaked in scintillation cocktail (10 ml) and counted for radioactivity using Packard 2660 Tricarb liquid scintillation counter. The inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) of potential AII antagonist, which gives 50% displacement of the total specifically bound  125  I-Sar 1  Ile 8  -angiotensin II, was presented as a measure of the efficacy of such compounds as AII antagonists. 
     Receptor Assay Using Bovine Adrenal Cortex Preparation 
     Bovine adrenal cortex was selected as the source of AII receptor. Weighed tissue (0.1 g is needed for 100 assay tubes) was suspended in Tris.HCl (50 mM), pH 7.7 buffer and homogenized. The homogenate was centrifuged at 20,000 rpm for 15 minutes. Supernatant was discarded and pellets resuspended in buffer [Na 2  HPO 4  (10 mM)-NaCl (120 mM)-disodium EDTA (5 mM) containing phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF)(0.1 mM)]. (For screening of compounds generally duplicates of tubes are used). To the membrane preparation (0.5 ml) there was added  3  H-angiotensin II (50 mM) (10 μl), with or without the test sample, and the mixture was incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was then diluted with Tris buffer (4 ml) and filtered through a glass fiber filter (GF/B Whatman 2.4&#34; diameter). The filter was soaked in scintillation cocktail (10 ml) and counted for radioactivity using Packard 2660 Tricarb liquid scintillation counter. The inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) of potential AII antagonist, which gives 50% displacement of the total specifically bound  3  H-angiotensin II, was presented as a measure of the efficacy of such compounds as AII antagonists. 
     Using the methodology described above, representative compounds of the invention were evaluated and were found to exhibit an activity of atleast IC 50  &lt;50 μM, thereby demonstrating and confirming the utility of the compounds of the invention as effective AII antagonists. 
     The potential antihypertensive effects of the compounds described in the present invention may be evaluated using the methodology described below: 
     Male Charles River Sprague-Dawley rats (300-375 gm) were anesthetized with methohexital (Brevital; 50 mg/kg i.p.). The trachea was cannulated with PE 205 tubing. A stainless steel pithing rod (1.5 mm thick, 150 mm long) was inserted into the orbit of the right eye and down the spinal column. The rats were immediately placed on a Harvard Rodent Ventilator (rate--60 strokes per minute, volume--1.1 cc per 100 grams body weight). The right carotid artery was ligated, both left and right vagal nerves were cut, the left carotid artery was cannulated with PE 50 tubing for drug administration, and body temperature was maintained at 37° C. by a thermostatically controlled heating pad which received input from a rectal temperature probe. Atropine (1 mg/kg i.v.) was then administered and 15 minutes later propranolol (1 mg/kg i.v.). Thirty minutes later antagonists of formula I were administered intravenously or orally. Angiotensin II was then typically given at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minute intervals and every half-hour thereafter for as long as the test compound showed activity. The change in the mean arterial blood pressure was recorded for each angiotensin II challenge and the percent inhibition of the angiotensin II response was calculated. 
     Thus, the compounds of the invention are useful in treating hypertension. They are also of value in the management of acute and chronic congestive heart failure and angina. These compounds may also be expected to be useful in the treatment of primary and secondary hyperaldosteronism; renal diseases such a diabetic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, glomerular sclerosis, nephrotic syndrome, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, end stage, renal disease, used in renal transplant therapy, and to treat renovascular hypertension, sclerderma, left ventricular dysfunction, systolic and diasystolic dysfunction, diabetic retinopathy and in the management of vascular disorders such as migraine, Raynaud&#39;s disease, and as prophylaxis to minimize the atherosclerotic process and neointimal hyperplasia following angioplasty or vascular injury and to retard the onset of type II diabetes. The application of the compounds of this invention for these and similar disorders will be apparent to those skilled in the art. 
     The compounds of this invention are also useful to treat elevated intraocular pressure and to enhance retinal blood flow and can be administered to patients in need of such treatment with typical pharmaceutical formulations such as tablets, capsules, injectables and the like as well as topical ocular formulations in the form of solutions, ointments, inserts, gels, and the like. Pharmaceutical formulations prepared to treat intraocular pressure would typically contain about 0.1% to 15% by weight, preferably 0.5% to 2% by weight, of a compound of this invention. For this use, the compounds of this invention may also be used in combination with other medications for the treatment of glaucoma including choline esterase inhibitors such as physostigmine salicylate or demecarium bromide, parasympathominetic agents such as pilocarpine nitrate, -adrenergic antagonists such as timolol maleate, adrenergic agonists such as epinephrine and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as MK-507. 
     In the management of hypertension and the clinical conditions noted above, the compounds of this invention may be utilized in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, suppositories for rectal administration, sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral or intramuscular administration, and the like. The compounds of this invention can be administered to patients (animals and human) in need of such treatment in dosages that will provide optimal pharmaceutical efficacy. Although the dose will vary from patient to patient, depending upon the nature and severity of disease, the patient&#39;s weight, special diets then being followed by a patient, concurrent medication and other factors, which those skilled in the art will recognize, the dosage range will generally be about 1 to 1000 mg. per patient per day which can be administered in single or multiple doses. Perferably, the dosage range will be about 5 to 500 mg. per patient per day; more preferably about 5 to 300 mg. per patient per day. 
     The compounds of this invention can also be administered in combination with other antihypertensives and/or diuretics.

     Typically, the individual daily dosages for these combinations can range from about one-fifth of the minimally recommended clinical dosages to the maximum recommended levels for the entities when they are given singly. 
     To illustrate these combinations, one of the angiotensin II antagonists of this invention effective clinically in the 5-500 milligrams per day range can be effectively combined at levels at the 1.0-500 milligrams per day range with the following compounds at the indicated per day dose range: hydrochlorothiazide (6-100 mg) chlorothiazide (125-500 mg), ethacrynic acid (5-200 mg), amiloride (5-20 mg), furosemide (5-80 mg), propranolol (10-480 mg), timolol maleate (1-20 mg.), methyldopa (125-2000 mg), felodipine (1-20 mg), nifedipine (5-120 mg), nitrendipine (5-60 mg) and diltizaem (30-540 mg).

Naturally, these dose ranges can be adjusted on a unit basis as necessary to permit divided daily dosage and, as noted above, the dose will vary depending on the nature and severity of the disease, weight of patient, special diets and other factors. 
     Typically, these combinations can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions as discussed below. 
     About 1 to 100 mg. of compound or mixture of compounds of Formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt is compounded with a physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor, etc., in a unit dosage form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice. The amount of active substance in these compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage in the range indicated is obtained. 
     Illustrative of the adjuvants which can be incorporated in tablets, capsules and the like are the following: a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; an excipient such as microcrystalline cellulose; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, pregelatinized starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin; a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen or cherry. When the dosage unitform is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as fatty oil. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elizir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propyl parabens as preservatives, a dye and a flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. 
     Sterile compositions for injection can be formulated according to conventional pharmaceutical practice by dissolving or suspending the active substance in a vehicle such as water for injection, a naturally occurring vegetable oil like sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, etc., or a synthetic fatty vehicle like ethyl oleate or the like. Buffers, preservatives, antioxidants and the like can be incorporated as required. 
     The useful central nervous system (CNS) activities of the compounds of this invention are demonstrated and exemplified by the ensuing assays. 
     COGNITIVE FUNCTION ASSAY 
     The efficacy of these compounds to enhance cognitive function can be demonstrated in a rat passive avoidance assay in which cholinomimetics such as physostigmine and nootropic agents are known to be active. In this assay, rats are trained to inhibit their natural tendency to enter dark areas. The test apparatus used consists of two chambers, one of which is brightly illuminated and the other is dark. Rats are placed in the illuminated chamber and the elapsed time it takes for them to enter the darkened chamber is recorded. On entering the dark chamber, they receive a brief electric shock to the feet. The test animals are pretreated with 0.2 mg/kg of the muscarinic antagonist scopolamine which disrupts learning or are treated with scopolamine and the compound which is to be tested for possible reversal of the scopolamine effect. Twenty-four hours later, the rats are returned to the illuminated chamber. Upon return to the illuminated chamber, normal young rats who have been subjected to this training and who have been treated only with control vehicle take longer to re-enter the dark chamber than test animals who have been exposed to the apparatus but who have not received a shock. Rats treated with scopolamine before training do not show this hesitation when tested 24 hours later. Efficacious test compounds can overcome the disruptive effect on learning which scopolamine produces. Typically, compounds of this invention should be efficacious in this passive avoidance assay in the dose range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg. 
     ANXIOLYTIC ASSAY 
     The anxiolytic activity of the invention compounds can be demonstrated in a conditioned emotional response (CER) assay. Diazepam is a clinically useful anxiolytic which is active in this assay. In the CER protocol, male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-350 g) are trained to press a lever on a variable interval (VI) 60 second schedule for food reinforcement in a standard operant chamber over weekly (five days per week) training sessions. All animals then receive daily 20 minute conditioning sessions, each session partitioned into alternating 5 minute light (L) and 2 minute dark (D) periods in a fixed L1D1L2D2L3 sequence. During both periods (L or D), pressing a lever delivers food pellets on a VI 60 second schedule: in the dark (D), lever presses also elicit mild footshock (0.8 mA, 0.5 sec) on an independent shock presentation schedule of VI 20 seconds. Lever pressing is suppressed during the dark periods reflecting the formation of a conditioned emotional response (CER). 
     Drug testing in this paradigm is carried out under extinction conditions. During extinction, animals learn that responding for food in the dark is no longer punished by shock. Therefore, response rates gradually increase in the dark periods and animals treated with an anxiolytic drug show a more rapid increase in response rate than vehicle treated animals. Compounds of this invention should be efficacious in this test procedure in the range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg. 
     DEPRESSION ASSAY 
     The antidepressant activity of the compounds of this invention can be demonstrated in a tail suspension test using mice. A clinically useful antidepressant which serves as a positive control in this assay is desipramine. The method is based on the observations that a mouse suspended by the tail shows alternate periods of agitation and immobility and that antidepressants modify the balance between these two forms of behavior in favor of agitation. Periods of immobility in a 5 minute test period are recorded using a keypad linked to a microcomputer which allows the experimenter to assign to each animal an identity code and to measure latency, duration and frequency of immobile periods. Compounds of this invention should be efficacious in this test procedure in the range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg. 
     SCHIZOPHRENIA ASSAY 
     The antidopaminergic activity of the compounds of this invention can be demonstrated in an apomorphine-induced stereotypy model. A clinically useful antipsychotic drug that is used as a positive control in this assay is haloperidol. The assay method is based upon the observation that stimulation of the dopaminergic system in rats produces stereotyped motor behavior. There is a strong correlation between the effectiveness of classical neuroleptic drugs to block apomorphine-induced stereotype and to prevent schizophrenic symptoms. Stereotyped behavior induced by apomorphine, with and without pretreatment with test compounds, is recorded using a keypad linked to a microcomputer. Compounds of the invention should be efficacious in this assay in the range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg. 
     In the treatment of the clinical conditions noted above, the compounds of this invention may be utilized in compositions such as tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, suppositories for rectal administration, sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral or intramuscular administration, and the like. The compounds of this invention can be administered to patients (animals and human) in need of such treatment in dosages that will provide optimal pharmaceutical efficacy. Although the dose will vary from patient to patient depending upon the nature and severity of disease, the patient&#39;s weight, special diets then being followed by a patient, concurrent medication, and other factors which those skilled in the art will recognize, the dosage range will generally be about 5 to 6000 mg. per patient per day which can be administered in single or multiple doses. Preferably, the dosage range will be about 10 to 4000 mg. per patient per day; more preferably about 20 to 2000 mg. per patient per day. 
     In order to obtain maximal enhancement of cognitive function, the compounds of this invention may be combined with other cognition-enhancing agents. These include acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as heptylphysostigmine and tetrahydroacridine (THA; tacrine), muscarinic agonists such as oxotremorine, inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme such as octylramipril, captopril, ceranapril, enalapril, lisinopril, fosinopril and zofenopril, centrally-acting calcium channel blockers and as nimodipine, and nootropic agents such as piracetam. 
     In order to achieve optimal anxiolytic activity, the compounds of this invention may be combined with other anxiolytic agents such as alprazolam, lorazepam, diazepam, and buspirone. 
     In order to achieve optimal antidepressant activity, combinations of the compounds of this invention with other antidepressants are of use. These include tricyclic antidepressants such as nortriptyline, amitryptyline and trazodone, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors such as tranylcypromine. 
     In order to obtain maximal antipsychotic activity, the compounds of this invention may be combined with other antipsychotic agents such as promethazine, fluphenazine and haloperidol. 
     The following examples illustrate the preparation of the compounds of formula (I) and their incorporation into pharmaceutical compositions and as such are not to be considered as limiting the invention set forth in the claims appended hereto. All reactions as appropriate were carried out under an atmosphere of dry nitrogen under standard conditions for those skilled in the art.

     The active ingredient can be reduced to a No. 60 powder and the lactose and magnesium stearate can then be passed through a No. 60 blotting cloth onto the powder. The combined ingredients can then be mixed for about 10 minutes and filled into a No. 1 dry gelatin capsule. 
     B: Tablet 
     A typical tablet would contain the active ingredient (25 mg), pregelatinized starch USP (82 mg), microcrystalline cellulose (82 mg) and magnesium stearate (1 mg). 
     C: Combination Tablet 
     A typical combination tablet would contain, for example, a diuretic such as hydrochlorothiazide and consist of the active ingredient (50 mg) pregelatinized starch USP (82 mg), microcrystalline cellulose (82 mg) and magnesium stearate (1 mg). 
     D: Suppository 
     Typical suppository formulations for rectal administration can contain the active ingredient (1-25 mg), butylated hydroxyanisole (0.08-1.0 mg), disodium calcium edetate (0.25-0.5 mg), and polyethylene glycol (775-1600 mg). Other suppository formulations can be made by substituting, for example, butylated hydroxytoluene (0.04-0.08 mg) for the disodium calcium edetate and a hydrogenated vegetable oil (675-1400 mg) such as Suppocire L, Wecobee FS, Wecobee M, Witepsols, and the like, for the polyethylene glycol. Further, these suppository formulations can also include another active ingredient such as another antihypersive and/or a diuretic and/or an angiotension converting enzyme and/or a calcium channel blocker in pharmaceutically effective amounts as described, for example, in C above. 
     E: Injection 
     A typical injectible formulation would contain the active ingredient (5.42 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous (11.4 mg) benzyl alcohol (0.01 ml) and water for injection (1.0 ml). Such an injectible formulation can also include a pharmaceutically effective amount of another active ingredient such as another antihypertensive and/or a diuretic and/or an angiotension converting enzyme inhibitor and/or a calcium channel blocker.
