Tolvaptan has been used as a V2-selective antagonist for studying its effect on hypertension in mice[1].
Biochem/physiol Actions
Tolvaptan (OPC 41061) is a potent, orally active non-peptide vasopressin V2 selective antagonist. IC50 = 3 nM at the rat V2 receptor; 29 times more selective for the V2 than for V1a. Tolvaptan has also been shown to inhibit the development of polycystic kidney disease in several animal models.
Tolvaptan is a potent, orally active non-peptide vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist.

Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a chemotherapeutic agent which is extensively used in the treatment of multiple neoplastic and nonneoplastic diseases like breast cancer, lymphomas, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis. Dose-limiting side effects, mainly nephrotoxicity is a major problem hindering its
