Conditions such as hypertension and renal allograft rejection are accompanied by chronic, agonist‐independent, signalling by angiotensin II AT1 receptors. The current treatment paradigm for these diseases entails the preferred use of inverse agonist AT1 receptor blockers (ARBs). However, variability in the inverse agonist activities of common biphenyl‐tetrazole ARBs for the active state of AT1 receptors often leads to treatment failure. Therefore, characterization of robust inverse agonist ARBs for the active state of AT1 receptors is necessary.
