| Targets |
Agrippressin (arginine vasopressin, AVP) acts on V₁, V₂, and V₃ vasopressin receptors. V₁ receptors (Gq protein-coupled) mediate vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation, and glycogenolysis. V₂ receptors (Gs protein-coupled) mediate antidiuretic effects via aquaporin-2 insertion and release of von Willebrand factor and factor VIII. V₃ receptors mediate adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion. [3]

| ln Vitro |
Arbopressin binds to A7r5 arterial aortic smooth muscle cells via vasopressin uptake V1, with a Kd of 1.31 nM. Additionally, it promotes immunological response against S-100 in non-cultured DRG cells, AVP-induced [Ca2+]i signaling, and intracellular calcium release in A7r5 cells (EC50=5 nM) [1]. The lowest effective dose of argipressin required to elicit a [Ca2+]i response in DRG cultured neuronal cells is 100 pM[2].

| ln Vivo |
In patients with refractory septic shock, Agrippressin infusion at 2.4 U/h (0.04 U/min) increased systolic blood pressure from 92 to 146 mmHg and allowed withdrawal of catecholamine infusion, while urine output increased from 30 to 110 mL/h in three of five patients. [3]
In a randomized trial (VASST), low-dose AVP (0.01–0.03 U/min) plus norepinephrine in septic shock patients showed no difference in 28- or 90-day mortality overall, but in patients with less severe shock (baseline norepinephrine 5–15 μg/min), AVP reduced mortality by nearly 10% (26.5% vs. 35.7%, P < 0.05). [3] In post-cardiac surgery vasoplegic shock, AVP (0.01–0.03 U/min) was used to treat hypotension. A randomized trial (VANCS) of 330 patients showed that AVP as first-line therapy reduced the composite endpoint of mortality or severe complications (32% vs. 49% with norepinephrine, P = 0.001) and reduced atrial fibrillation (64% vs. 82%, P < 0.001). [3] In brain-dead organ donors, AVP infusion at 0.04–0.1 U/min normalized urine output, preserved renal function, and achieved hemodynamic stability with reduced catecholamine requirements. [3] In cardiopulmonary resuscitation, AVP (40 U IV bolus) was used as an alternative to epinephrine. A meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials (n = 4,475) found no significant benefit or harm overall, but long-term survival benefit was observed in asystole patients. [3] In anaphylactic shock unresponsive to epinephrine, AVP has been successfully used. [3] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Agrippressin (8-arginine vasopressin) must be given parenterally as it is hydrolyzed by trypsin. It is not protein-bound, with a volume of distribution of 140 mL/kg. The plasma half-life is 10–35 minutes. It is rapidly metabolized by liver and kidney vasopressinases (35%) and excreted through the kidney (65%). [3]
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Higher doses of Agrippressin may cause gastrointestinal and myocardial ischemia, reduced cardiac output via baroreceptor reflex, and reduced intestinal perfusion potentially leading to tissue necrosis and bacterial translocation. Cases of myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest have been reported after local intramyometrial infiltration. [3]
AVP activates V₂ receptors on endothelial cells, causing release of von Willebrand factor and enhancing platelet aggregation, increasing the risk of thrombosis. [3] Other adverse effects include hyponatremia, anaphylaxis, bronchospasm, urticaria, abdominal cramps, angina, and chest pain. [3] In sepsis, doses >0.04 U/min should be avoided as they may produce myocardial ischemia and cardiac arrest. [3] |

| Additional Infomation |
Argipressin is the major form of mammalian vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone). It is a nonapeptide with arginine at residue 8 and two disulfide-linked cysteine residues at residues 1 and 6. It has cardiovascular, hematologic, and mitogenic effects. It is the conjugate base of Argipressin (2+). Argipressin is a synthetic peptide, similar to the endogenous nonapeptide hormone, and possesses antidiuretic properties. Synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored in/released from the posterior pituitary gland, Argipressin's primary function is to regulate extracellular fluid volume. This substance can also act as a vasoconstrictor, increasing blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance. Argipressin is used to treat diabetes insipidus or to improve vasomotor tone and blood pressure.
Agrippressin (Pitressin, arginine vasopressin, AVP) is an endogenous nonapeptide hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary. It acts on V₁, V₂, and V₃ receptors. Its therapeutic uses include refractory septic shock, vasodilatory shock after cardiac surgery, intraoperative hypotension (especially in patients on renin-angiotensin system inhibitors), brain-dead organ donor management, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and bleeding esophageal varices. The rationale for use in shock states is relative AVP deficiency and supersensitivity to exogenous AVP. Doses in shock typically range from 0.01 to 0.04 U/min by continuous infusion. [3] |
