Vasopressin analogues are synthetic peptides structurally and functionally similar to arginine vasopressin (AVP), a naturally occurring hormone in mammals. These compounds have been developed to target specific vasopressin receptors ( V1 , V2 , and V3 ) with varying affinities, allowing for more tailored therapeutic applications.
Desmopressin (1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin) is a synthetic form of the normal human hormone arginine vasopressin (the antidiuretic hormone, or ADH), a peptide containing nine amino acids. Compared to vasopressin, desmopressin's first amino acid has been deaminated , and the arginine at the eighth position is in the dextro rather than the ...
Vasopressin agonists are used therapeutically in various conditions, and its long-acting synthetic analogue desmopressin is used in conditions featuring low vasopressin secretion, as well as for control of bleeding (in some forms of von Willebrand disease and in mild haemophilia A) and in extreme cases of bedwetting by children.

Nephrogenic DI may be treated by addressing the underlying cause or by the use of a thiazide, aspirin or ibuprofen. [1] The number of new cases of diabetes insipidus each year is 3 in 100,000. [4] Central DI usually starts between the ages of 10 and 20 and occurs in males and females equally. [2] Nephrogenic DI can begin at any age. [3]
Nicole Kidman might still be blushing over some of the scenes she filmed in her new erotic thriller Babygirl, but the film's director said the actress never wavered about the sexual material ...
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released a draft recommendation advising against using vitamin D to prevent falls and fractures in people over 60. Pharmacist Katy Dubinsky weighs in.
Central diabetes insipidus, recently renamed arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D), [1] is a form of diabetes insipidus that is due to a lack of vasopressin (ADH) production in the brain. Vasopressin acts to increase the volume of blood (intravascularly), and decrease the volume of urine produced.
