Scope note

  • A synthetic analog of the pituitary hormone, ARGININE VASOPRESSIN. Its action is mediated by the VASOPRESSIN receptor V2. It has prolonged antidiuretic activity, but little pressor effects. It also modulates levels of circulating FACTOR VIII and VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR.

History note

  • 86(79); was see under ARGIPRESSIN 1979-85; was DEAMINO ARGININE VASOPRESSIN see under VASOPRESSIN 1975-78
