10 A physiological role for CNP? Interesting pharmacodynamic profile! Presence of CNP in the endothelium suggests it has tissue localisation & functional remit to preserve vascular homeostasis Acts as an EDHF in mesenteric and coronary arteries Prevents the activation of leukocytes & platelets Maintains integrity of blood vessel wall (regulates EC and VSMC proliferation) Paucity of selective pharmacological interventions targeting natriuretic peptide signalling Difficult to define a physiological function
