Description

Application

Atosiban has been used:

• as an oxytocin receptor antagonist[1]
• in the calcium mobilization assay for Z factor determination in uterine myometrium (UT-myo cells) and as a therapeutic agent to inhibit preterm labor[2]
• to inhibit the activation of oxytocin-receptor-expressing neurons in the parabrachial nucleus of mice (Oxtr^PBN)[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Atosiban efficiently prevent preterm uterine contractions without any major cardiovascular, pulmonary or central nervous system side effects.[4] It has potential to treat preterm labour.[4][5]

Atosiban is a peptide oxytocin receptor antagonist.
