Background Tolvaptan slows progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) by antagonizing the vasopressin-cAMP axis. Nitric oxide (NO) stimulates natriuresis and diuresis, but its role is unknown during tolvaptan treatment in ADPKD ...

Targeting the vasopressin type-2 receptor for renal cell carcinoma therapy. [PDF]
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and its type-2 receptor (V2R) play an essential role in the regulation of salt and water homeostasis by the kidneys. V2R activation also stimulates proliferation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines in vitro.

Real-life use of tolvaptan in ADPKD: a retrospective analysis of a large Canadian cohort
Tolvaptan is the first disease-modifying drug proven to slow eGFR decline in high-risk patients with ADPKD. However, barriers from the patient perspective to its use in real-life settings have not been systemically examined in a large cohort.

Identification and Characterization of an Activating F229V Substitution in the V2 Vasopressin Receptor in an Infant with NSIAD [PDF]
Gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the V2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) cause nephrogenic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis. To date, reported mutations lead to the substitution of arginine 137 by either a cysteine or leucine (R137C/L ...

The novel desmopressin analogue [V4Q5]dDAVP inhibits angiogenesis, tumour growth and metastases in vasopressin type 2 receptor-expressing breast cancer models [PDF]
Desmopressin (dDAVP) is a safe haemostatic agent with previously reported antitumour activity. It acts as a selective agonist for the V2 vasopressin membrane receptor (V2r) present on tumour cells and microvasculature.

Impact of renal function on mid-term outcomes in heart failure patients treated with tolvaptan
Background: Although tolvaptan, an electrolyte-free water diuretic for congestive heart failure (HF), is reported to have no effect on long-term mortality or HF-related morbidity, there may exist some subgroups of patients who may receive beneficial ...
