vasopressin V1 ( IC50 = 0.4 μM ); vasopressin V1 ( Ki = 0.14 μM )
Vasopressin V1 receptor. OPC-21268 is an orally effective, nonpeptide, vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 0.4 μM. Vasopressin V1 receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that mediate the effects of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on vascular smooth muscle contraction, vasoconstriction, and cardiac function. By antagonizing the V1 receptor, OPC-21268 blocks AVP-mediated vasoconstriction, reducing vascular resistance and potentially improving cardiac function. The compound is also described as a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. OPC-21268 has shown promise in preclinical studies for improving heart function and reducing vascular resistance. Its effects on the central nervous system may also offer neuroprotective benefits. OPC-21268 has also been studied for its protective effects against ethanol-induced gastric damage. |

| ln Vitro |
Fuscoside (OPC-21268) has an IC50 of 0.4 μM for VI receptors and 100 μM for V2 receptors, which means that it displaces 50% of specific AVP binding. Fuscoside (OPC-21268) has an inhibition constant (Ki) of 0.14 μM for V1 receptors[1].
OPC-21268 is a nonpeptide vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 0.4 μM. The compound demonstrates antagonist activity at the V1 receptor, blocking AVP-mediated vasoconstriction. OPC-21268 has been characterized in receptor binding assays and functional assays measuring V1 receptor-mediated signaling. The compound's selectivity for V1 receptors over other vasopressin receptor subtypes (e.g., V2) contributes to its specificity. OPC-21268 has shown promise in preclinical studies for improving heart function and reducing vascular resistance. Its effects on the central nervous system may also offer neuroprotective benefits. The compound has also been studied for its protective effects against ethanol-induced gastric damage. |
| ln Vivo |
Fuscoside (OPC-21268) specifically and competitively inhibits pressor responses to AVP in vivo. In a dose- and time-dependent manner, oral administration of Fuscoside (OPC-21268) (10 mg/kg) inhibits the vasoconstriction induced by exogenous AVP, with an effect that lasts for more than 8 hours at 30 mg/kg[1]. Fuscoside (OPC-21268) works well to treat cold-induced vasogenic brain edema because it primarily provides protection where the blood-brain barrier is most likely to be broken down. Both hemispheres' brain water content is markedly decreased by fuscoside (OPC-21268) treatment at doses of 200 and 300 mg/kg. At dosages of 200 and 300 mg/kg, the injured hemispheres' swelling is also markedly decreased[2].
OPC-21268 is an orally effective vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist that has been studied in vivo for its effects on cardiovascular function and gastric protection. The compound has shown promise in preclinical studies for improving heart function and reducing vascular resistance. Its effects on the central nervous system may also offer neuroprotective benefits. OPC-21268 has also been studied for its protective effect against ethanol-induced damage of the rat gastric wall. The compound's oral bioavailability makes it suitable for in vivo studies. Detailed in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data are available from preclinical studies. OPC-21268 is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Vasopressin V1 receptor binding assays are performed using membranes prepared from cells expressing recombinant V1 receptors or from tissue sources (e.g., liver, vascular smooth muscle). Radioligand binding studies use [³H]-AVP or [³H]-[Phe²]AVP as labeled ligands. Membrane preparations are incubated with varying concentrations of OPC-21268 and a fixed concentration of radioligand in binding buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% BSA) for 60-120 minutes at room temperature. Non-specific binding is determined using excess unlabeled AVP or a V1 receptor antagonist (e.g., SR-49059). Bound radioactivity is measured by scintillation counting after filtration through GF/B filters. IC50 and Ki values are calculated by non-linear regression. The IC50 for OPC-21268 is 0.4 μM.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular V1 receptor antagonism is evaluated in cell lines expressing recombinant V1 receptors (e.g., HEK-293 cells). Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO₂ and treated with OPC-21268 at various concentrations. Functional assays measure receptor-mediated calcium mobilization (Gq-coupled receptor) in response to AVP stimulation. The compound's antagonist activity is assessed by its ability to inhibit AVP-induced calcium responses. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or LDH assays. Each experiment includes known V1 receptor antagonists (e.g., SR-49059) as positive controls and vehicle controls.

| Animal Protocol |
Rats: Fuscoside (OPC-21268) is injected subcutaneously (0.1, 0.3, or 1 mg/kg) into male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 300–400 g. Two minutes prior to the injection of AVP (30 mU/kg i.v.), angiotensin II (0.3 μg/kg i.v.), and noradrenaline (3 μg/kg i.v.), fuscoside (OPC-21268) is administered[1].
In vivo efficacy of OPC-21268 is evaluated in animal models of cardiovascular disease and gastric injury. The compound is administered orally at doses determined by preclinical studies. In models of heart failure, the compound's effects on cardiac function, hemodynamics, and vascular resistance are assessed. In models of gastric injury (e.g., ethanol-induced gastric damage), the compound's protective effects are assessed by measuring gastric mucosal damage and inflammation. Sample sizes typically range from 6-10 animals per group. |
