The invention relates to the N-phosphonomethyl-biaryl substituted dipeptide derivatives of formula I ##STR1## wherein A represents a direct bond, lower alkylene, phenylene or cyclohexylene; m represents 1 or zero, provided that m represents 1 when A is a direct bond; R.sub.2 represents hydrogen, hydroxy, lower alkyl, aryl-lower alkyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl-lower alkyl, amino-lower alkyl, hydroxyl-lower alkyl, lower alkylthio-lower alkyl, lower alkoxy-lower alkyl, aryl-lower alkylthio-lower alkyl or aryl-lower alkoxy-lower alkyl; biaryl represents phenyl substituted by carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl; and pharmaceutically acceptable mono-, di- or tri-ester derivatives thereof in which one, two or three of the acidic hydroxy groups of the carboxyl and phosphono functional groups are esterified in form of a mono-, di- or tri- pharmaceutically acceptable ester; and pharmaceutically acceptable amide derivatives thereof wherein the carboxyl group is derivatized in form of a pharmaceutically acceptable amide; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds; methods for the preparation of said compounds and for the preparation of intermediates; and methods of treating disorders in mammals which are responsive to the inhibition of neutral endopeptidases by administration of said compounds to mammals in need of such treatment.
A compound of formula I ##STR25## wherein A represents a direct bond, lower alkylene, phenylene or cyclohexylene;
A compound of the formula II ##STR26## wherein R and R' represent independently hydrogen, carbocyclic aryl, 6-tetrahydronaphthyl, 5-indanyl, acyloxymethyl optionally monosubstituted on methyl carbon by C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 -alkyl, by C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl, by aryl or by aryl-lower alkyl;
A compound of formula IIa ##STR27## wherein n represents an integer 1 through 6;
