Bioactivity | Tolvaptan is a selective, competitive and orally active vasopressin receptor 2 (V2R) antagonist with an IC50 of 1.28 μM for the inhibition of arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced platelet aggregation. Tolvaptan induces cell apoposis and affects cell cycle. Tolvaptan can be used for the research of hyponatremia[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Tolvaptan (0-100 μM; 24-168 h) decreases the growth of HepG2 cells[2].Tolvaptan (20-100 μM; 24-48 h) induces cell death in HepG2 cells[2].Tolvaptan (0-100 μM; 24-48 h) affects cell cycle of HepG2 cells[2].Tolvaptan (0-100 μM; 24-48 h) causes DNA damage and induces apoptosis of HepG2 cells[2]. Tolvaptan (0-100 μM; 24-48 h) decreases cyclins and CDKs, and increases γ-H2AX, PARP cleavage and LC3B-II in HepG2 cells[2].Tolvaptan (0-100 μM; 4-24 h) induces phosphorylation of JNK, ERK1/2 and p38 in HepG2 cells[2].Tolvaptan (0-100 μM; 24-28 h) induces autophagy of HepG2 cells[2].
