Abstract
Substituted imidazoles such as 2-butyl-4-chloro-1-[(2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-5-(hydroxy methyl)imidazole and 2-butyl-4-chloro-1-[(2'-carboxybiphenyl-4-yl)-methyl]-5-(hydroxymethyl)imi dazole and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful for treating chronic renal failure, mediated by angiotensin-II.
