Biochem/physiol Actions

OPC-21268 is one of 2 non-peptide V1a selective antagonists, along with SR-49059. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a hormone that plays an important part in circulatory and water homoeostasis and is important in renal hemodynamic alterations, water retention, and cardiac remodeling in congestive heart failure (CHF). There are three AVP receptor subtypes-V1a, V1b, and V2 - all belong to the large rhodopsin-like G-protein-coupled receptor family. V(1a) antagonists improve water balance and cardiac hypertrophy in CHF and might be beneficial for the treatment of water retention and cardiac remodeling in CHF.

In experiments on non-anesthetized female Wistar rats, it has been shown that injection of 1-deamino-arginine-vasotocin (1dAVT) increases sodium excretion and solute-free water reabsorption. Antagonists of V1-receptors (OPC-31260, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Japan) eliminates the effect water reabsorption whereas antagonist of

Amphibian skin has osmoregulatory functions, with Na(+) crossing from outside to inside. Na(+) transport can be measured as the short-circuit current (SCC). We investigated the short-term and long-term effects of arginine vasotocin (AVT) and mesotocin (MT) (which modulate Na(+) transport)

Vasopressin, or antidiuretic hormone, is a peptide hormone that is released from the posterior pituitary gland in response to changes in blood pressure and plasma osmolality. The main pathophysiological states associated with high plasma vasopressin concentrations are cirrhosis, cardiac failure

Anuran amphibians do not drink orally but absorb water osmotically through the highly permeable ventral skin. In this cutaneous water absorption, roles of the putative cerebral osmoreceptors and functions of arginine vasotocin (AVT) were examined in the central nervous system
