| Bioactivity | Terlipressin acetate is a vasopressin analogue with potent vasoactive properties. Terlipressin acetate is a highly selective vasopressin V1 receptor agonist that reduces the splanchnic blood flow and portal pressure and controls acute variceal bleeding. Terlipressin acetate exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. Terlipressin acetate has the potential for hepatorenal syndrome and norepinephrine-resistant septic shock research[1][2][3][4][5]. | ||||||
| Invitro | Terlipressin (25 nM; 24-72 hours; IEC-6 cells) treatment significantly improves cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis in IEC-6 cells[1]. Terlipressin inhibits the secretion of TNF-α and 15-F2t-isoprostane from IEC-6 cells following oxygen and glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R). Terlipressin administration following OGD attenuates OGD/R-induced cell damage via the PI3K signaling pathway[1]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: | ||||||
