Desmopressin acetate is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, which reduces urine production. Medical use of Desmopressin acetate includes: (a) bed wetting; (b) diabetes insipidus; (c) nighttime urination; (d) clotting disorders.
Pneumadin, rat (PNM) exerts a marked antidiuretic effect in animals has a functional AVP system. Pneumadin, rat (PNM) is a decapeptide, which possesses a potent stimulating effect on arginine-vasopressin (AVP) release.
YM-430 is a β1 adrenergic receptor antagonist and a calcium channel antagonist. YM430 could be both an antianginal and antihypertensive agent. YM430 (10(-8)-10(-6) M) inhibited 3,4-diaminopyridine-induced rhythmic contractions with an IC50 value of 59.2 n
SKF 100398, also known as d(CH2)5Tyr(Et)VAVP, is a particular analog of argininevasopressin (AVP). It acts as a specific antagonist, specifically targeting the antidiuretic effect caused by both exogenous and endogenous AVP.
JTP-4819 is a potent and selective prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) inhibitor with potential for treating Alzheimer's disease. At nanomolar concentration, JTP-4819 inhibited the degradation of substance P, arginine-vasopressin, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone by PEP in supernatants of the rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Repeated administration of JTP-4819 reversed the aging-induced decrease in brain substance P-like and thyrotropin-releasing hormone-like immunoreactivity, suggesting that this drug may be able to improve the imbalance of peptidergic neuronal systems that develops with senescense by inhibiting PEP activity. JTP-4819 increased acetylcholine release from the frontal cortex and hippocampus, regions closely associated with memory, in both young and aged rats.
