Abstract
Drugs which inhibit epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are used in the treatment of cancers. EGFR may contribute to the development of hypertension by regulating vascular tone and renal Na+ handling. Synthetic EGFR inhibitors reduce blood pressure in some experimental models of hypertension suggesting that this receptor is a novel target for antihypertensive therapy.
