Vasopressin Acetate – (9034-50-8)

Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or arginine vasopressin (AVP), is a naturally occurring hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in regulating the body’s water balance by controlling the reabsorption of water in the kidneys, thus influencing urine concentration and volume. Additionally, vasopressin acts as a vasoconstrictor, increasing peripheral vascular resistance and raising blood pressure.

Recent research has explored the potential of vasopressin and its analogues in treating SARS-CoV-2 infection, with studies suggesting that these hormones may influence the immune response and endothelial function during the disease. Additionally, vasopressin analogues are being investigated for their anti-cancer properties, particularly in reducing tumor-induced angiogenesis and metastatic spread.
