Abstract: Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It is estimated that one billion people in the entire world are affected by high blood pressure [1]. Moreover, the condition is complicated by multiple pathways present in the body which act to maintain blood pressure. Current agents directed toward the reduction of blood pressure are less than satisfactory for patients to reach therapeutic goals (<30% of the patients actually achieve treatment goals). Thus, there is still an ever-growing need for new classes of antihypertensive drugs with novel mechanisms that can help in mediating the blood pressure [2].
