• Description: Hypertension is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by an elevated blood pressure and the subsequent damage to the heart, kidneys, and other tissues. Metyrapone is a drug that inhibits the synthesis of corticosteroids from cholesterol in the adrenal glands. It was shown to reduce blood pressure in vivo by blocking the formation of cytosolic calcium and subsequent release of vasopressin. The use of metyrapone as a hypertension treatment has been limited due to its side effects on the liver. A new model system using basic fibroblasts (BF) instead of liver cells has been developed to study this drug's effects on hypertension without causing liver lesions. This model has proven successful for other drugs with similar biological properties, such as Hytrinol, which also blocks corticosteroid synthesis from cholesterol but does not cause liver lesions. The BF system can be used for testing new drugs that are selective for PAR1 receptors, which are
