Selective Agonists and Antagonists of Vasopressin

  • Chapter

Abstract

Since the original synthesis of (arginine-) vasopressin (AVP) in 1954 (du Vig-neaud et al, 1954b), hundreds of analogues of VP and of oxytocin (OX) have been synthesized; their properties have been reported in numerous publications (see e.g., Berde and Boissonnas, 1968; Sawyer and Manning, 1973; Sawyer et al., 1981a; Manning et al., 1981a). Space considerations do not permit the inclusion of all the published analogues of VP and OX. Since the focus of this volume is on vasopressin, this chapter deals primarily with analogues—agonists and antagonists—of VP.
