Application Number:	06/308,234
Patent Claims:	1. A compound selected from the group consisting of iminodiacid compounds having the formula: ##STR20## wherein R.sub.1 represents lower-alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, R.sub.2 represents hydrogen or lower-alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, R.sub.3 is --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.3, in racemic form or as an optical isomer, a salt thereof with a pharmaceutically-acceptable inorganic or organic base, and an addition salt thereof with a pharmaceutically-acceptable inorganic or organic acid. 2. A compound of claim 1, in which R.sub.1 is a methyl radical. 3. (2S)-1-{N[(1RS)-1-ethoxycarbonylbutyl]-(S)-alanyl}-2-carboxy perhydroindole, its (S)-isomer or the sodium salt of these. 4. A pharmaceutical composition containing as active ingredient at least one compound according to claim 1, in conjunction with an inert, non-toxic pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier or excipient. 5. A pharmaceutical composition containing as active ingredient a compound according to claim 3, in conjunction with an inert, non-toxic pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier or excipient. 6. A method for treating a patient suffering from hypertension, which comprises administering to said patient a therapeutically effective dose of a compound according to claim 1. 7.
