In 1962 "azapeptides" were described for the first time'). In these peptide analogs the a-CH group of one or more amino acid residues of a peptide chain is replaced with nitrogen.

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A highly potent renin inhibitor of the azapeptide type (2) is synthesized by starting from the hydrazine derivative 3. This peptide analogue inhibits renin in the same range (nanomolar) as its purely peptidic original 2a, but reveals much higher specificity for renin than 2a does.

## Abstract Boc‐hydrazine (1) was treated with 4‐nitrophenyl chloroformate (2) to give Boc‐Azagly 4‐nitrophenyl ester (3). Reaction of 3 with H‐ACHP‐Ile‐3‐pyridylmethylamide^5)^ (4) provided Boc‐Azagly‐ACHP‐Ile‐3‐pyridylmethylamide (5). This was deprotected with HCl/dioxane to give H‐Azagly‐ACHP‐Il
