Description | (Deamino-Cys1,D-Tyr(Et)2,Thr4,Orn8)-Oxytocin also called Atosiban, RWJ 22164, is a nonapeptide competitive vasopressin/oxytocin receptor antagonist, and is a desamino-oxytocin analogue. Atosiban is the main tocolytic agent and has the potential for spontaneous preterm labor research. |
