Notes: Conivaptan is an antagonist of the arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptors V1A and V2 (Kis = 0.48 and 3.04 nM for rat liver V1A and kidney V2, respectively).{38430} It also competitively inhibits oxytocin binding to rat uterine oxytocin receptors (Ki = 44 nM) but has no effect on AVP binding to anterior pituitary V1B receptors at concentrations up to 100 μM in a radioligand binding assay. Conivaptan suppresses AVP-induced increases in intracellular calcium in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in vitro and the pressor response in pithed rats. Conivaptan (0.01-0.3 mg/kg, i.v.) increases urine output and decreases urine osmolality in dehydrated conscious rats in a dose-dependent manner. It also reduces brain edema and blood-brain barrier disruption in a mouse experimental stroke model.{38431}
