USE OF QUINAZOLINE DERIVATIVES WITH SRC KINASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY FOR THE TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION

摘要

The invention relates to the use of a Src kinase inhibitor in the production of a medicament for use in the prophylaxis or treatment of hypertension. More particularly, the invention concerns the anti-hypertensive use of a selective Src kinase inhibitor that possess less potent VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties. The invention also relates to a combination product comprising a Src kinase inhibitor and one or more further anti-hypertensive agents and to the use of Src kinase inhibitors as primary regulators of cardiovascular disease and in the prevention of stroke.
