Amino Acid Sequence

β-Mercapto-β,β-Cyclopentamethylenepropionyl-MeTyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Orn-Gly-NH2 [Disulfide Bridge: 1-6]

Application

[β-Mercapto-β,β-cyclopentamethylenepropionyl1, O-Me-Tyr2, Orn8]-Oxytocin has been used as an oxytocin receptor antagonist:
  • to study the influence of blockading the oxytocin receptors in the anterior cingulate cortex on helping behavior[1]
  • to determine the receptors that mediate vasopressin-stimulated anion secretion across cultured porcine vas deferens epithelial cell monolayers[2]
  • to study the influence of oxytocin receptors inhibition on intravenous and in situ oxytocin effects on the urinary bladder and cardiovascular activities in sham rats[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent oxytocin antagonist.
[β-Mercapto-β,β-cyclopentamethylenepropionyl1, O-Me-Tyr2, Orn8]-also acts as an arginine vasopressin receptor 1A (AVPR1A) antagonist.[2]

During suckling, the periodic and synchronous bursting activity of oxytocin neurons has been shown to be facilitated by oxytocin itself, acting via several target sites, including the magnocellular nuclei. To investigate the role of the endogenous oxytocin released within the

In order to provide further support for a role of central nitric oxide as a mediator of penile erection and yawning, the nitric oxide donors sodium nitroprusside, hydroxylamine, isoamyl nitrite and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine were injected into the lateral ventricles (i.c.v.) or
