Desmopressin acetate, the acetate salt of desmopressin (also known as DDAVP), is a synthetic octapeptide and an analogue of the human antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin. Compare with vasopressin, Desmopressin has improved pharmacokinetics such as prolonged half life and better pharmacodynamics such as higher selectivity for the V2 membrane receptor. Vasopressin is a hormone that reduces the production of urine and desmopressin is a synthetic version for vasopressin. The antidiuretic properties of desmopressin have led to its use in polyuric conditions including primary nocturnal enuresis, nocturia, and diabetes insipidus. Desmopressin works by limiting the amount of water eliminated in the urine. Desmopressin binds to V2 receptors in renal collecting ducts, increasing water reabsorption. It also stimulates release of von Willebrand factor from endothelial cells by acting on the V2 receptor. Desmopressin is most frequently prescribed for treatment of diabetes insipidus or nocturnal enuresis.

| Additional Infomation |
Desmopressin acetate trihydrate is the trihydrate of the acetic acid salt of desmopressin. An antidiuretic, it increases urine concentration and decreases urine production, and is used to prevent and control excessive thirst, urination, and dehydration caused by injury, surgery, and certain medical conditions. It is also used in the diagnosis and treatment of cranial diabetes insipidus and in tests of renal function. It contains a desmopressin acetate (anhydrous). Desmopressin Acetate is an analogue of the hormone vasopressin with antidiuretic and antihemorrhagic properties. Desmopressin acetate has selective affinity for the V2 receptor and acts on the distal kidney tubule by increasing the cellular permeability thereby stimulating water reabsorption. This antidiuretic agent is used in the treatment of central diabetes insipidus. An unrelated action of desmopressin acetate is to increases circulating factor VIII and is used in patients with haemophilia and von Willebrand's disease. A synthetic analog of the pituitary hormone, ARGININE VASOPRESSIN. Its action is mediated by the VASOPRESSIN receptor V2. It has prolonged antidiuretic activity, but little pressor effects. It also modulates levels of circulating FACTOR VIII and VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR. See also: Desmopressin Acetate (annotation moved to). |
