| Targets |
(Phenylac¹, D‑Tyr(Et)2, Lys⁶, Arg⁸, des‑Gly⁹)‑Vasopressin acetate targets the vasopressin V1a receptor (V1aR), a GPCR expressed on vascular smooth muscle cells, hepatocytes, and platelets. Activation of V1aR by vasopressin (arginine vasopressin, AVP) leads to vasoconstriction, glycogenolysis, and platelet aggregation. This peptide analogue contains multiple modifications: a phenylacetyl group at position 1 (instead of the native Tyr), D‑Tyr(Et) at position 2, Lys at position 6, Arg at position 8, and deletion of Gly⁹. These modifications confer V1a‑selective antagonism.

| ln Vitro |
(Phenylac¹, D‑Tyr(Et)2, Lys⁶, Arg⁸, des‑Gly⁹)‑Vasopressin acetate is a synthetic vasopressin analogue and a selective antagonist of the vasopressin V1a receptor. No specific IC₅0 values for V1a receptor binding or functional antagonism are reported in the search results. The peptide was developed by Smith, Kline & French (SK&F) as a research tool to study V1a receptor physiology. It is also known by the code SK&F 101926. The acetate salt form improves solubility and handling.

| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity data for (Phenylac¹, D‑Tyr(Et)2, Lys⁶, Arg⁸, des‑Gly⁹)‑Vasopressin acetate are reported in the search results. As a selective V1a receptor antagonist, it has been used in animal studies to investigate the role of V1a receptors in blood pressure regulation, cardiac function, and renal water handling. The compound would be expected to block vasopressin‑induced vasoconstriction and reduce blood pressure in models of hypertension. However, no specific in vivo data are provided.

| Enzyme Assay |
The binding of (Phenylac¹, D‑Tyr(Et)2, Lys⁶, Arg⁸, des‑Gly⁹)‑Vasopressin acetate to V1a receptors is measured by competitive radioligand binding assays using cell membranes expressing the V1a receptor. A radiolabeled vasopressin analog (e.g., [3H]‑AVP or [¹2⁵I]‑[Phe2, Ile⁴]‑AVP) is used as a tracer. The peptide is added at graded concentrations (0.1‑10,000 nM) to compete for binding, and the IC₅0 or Ki is calculated from dose‑response curves. For functional assays, V1a receptor activation is measured by intracellular calcium flux (using a fluorescent indicator) or by measuring inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cellular assays, cells expressing the V1a receptor (e.g., A7r5 rat aortic smooth muscle cells, or CHO‑V1aR cells) are seeded in 96‑well plates. For calcium assays, cells are loaded with Fluo‑4 AM. The peptide is added at graded concentrations (0.1‑10,000 nM) for 10‑30 min, then stimulated with vasopressin (1‑100 nM). The inhibition of the calcium signal is measured. For IP accumulation assays, cells are pre‑loaded with [3H]‑myo‑inositol, treated with the peptide, then stimulated with vasopressin. IP accumulation is measured by liquid scintillation counting. The IC₅0 is calculated.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No animal experiments for this peptide are described in the search results. For in vivo evaluation of V1a antagonism, male Sprague‑Dawley rats would be used. The peptide would be administered intravenously (IV) at doses of 0.1‑10 mg/kg. Blood pressure and heart rate would be monitored via a carotid artery catheter. The vasopressor response to vasopressin (administered IV) would be measured before and after treatment with the antagonist. The compound would be expected to inhibit vasopressin‑induced pressor responses. No specific protocols are described.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
(Phenylac¹, D‑Tyr(Et)2, Lys⁶, Arg⁸, des‑Gly⁹)‑Vasopressin acetate (C₆₅H₉4N1₈O14·xC2H4O2, MW ≈ 1320 Da) is a lyophilized powder. For storage, the powder should be kept at -20 degC or -80 degC, sealed and protected from light. For in vitro use, stock solutions in water or PBS (1‑10 mg/mL) can be prepared and stored at -80 degC for up to 6 months or at -20 degC for 1 month. The acetate salt form improves solubility and handling. No detailed PK parameters are reported.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data for this peptide are reported. As a research‑grade peptide, it is not intended for human or veterinary use. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling peptides should be followed. V1a receptor antagonism can cause hypotension, which may be undesirable at high doses. No LD₅0 or formal toxicology studies are available.

| Additional Infomation |
This vasopressin analogue is a selective antagonist of the V1a receptor. Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone, ADH) has multiple physiological actions mediated by three receptor subtypes: V1a (vascular smooth muscle, liver, platelets), V1b (pituitary, pancreas), and V2 (renal collecting duct). V1a receptor antagonists have been investigated as potential therapeutic agents for hypertension, heart failure, and Raynaud‘s phenomenon. This peptide antagonist, developed by Smith, Kline & French (SK&F 101926), is a research tool for V1a receptor studies. The compound is for research use only and has not received regulatory approval.
