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

An indispensable role for the brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been documented in most experimental animal models of hypertension. To identify the specific efferent pathway activated by the brain RAS that mediates hypertension, we examined the hypothesis that elevated arginine
