title: V2 receptor antagonism of DDAVP-induced release of hemostasis factors in conscious dogs.
abstract: The synthetic arginine vasopressin (AVP) analog 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) is used in a variety of hemorrhagic disorders. The present experiments were designed to further characterize the mechanism of DDAVP-induced release of hemostasis factors. The [3H]AVP-labeled AVP receptor in canine renomedullary membranes exhibited an AVP V2 profile because the V2 receptor agonist DDAVP displayed similar subnanomolar affinities as the natural hormone AVP, whereas the two selective V1a compounds SR 49059 and d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP as well as the selective V1b agonist D-Pal and oxytocin were much less potent. The rank order of the binding affinities of three V2 receptor antagonists was SR 121463 (a newly described selective V2 receptor antagonist) > OPC 31260 >> d(CH2)5D-Ile2,Ile4AVP. In conscious dogs, DDAVP (0.1-1 microg/kg I.V.) caused a dose-related increase (maximum, 43-52% at 30 min) in plasma levels of factor VIII (FVIII), von Willebrand factor (vWF) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), but not in levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. A DDAVP-induced hemostasis factor release was also observed in bilaterally nephrectomized dogs. Pretreatment with SR 121463 inhibited DDAVP-induced (1 microg/kg I.V.) increases in FVIII, vWF and t-PA plasma levels in a dose-dependent manner (ID50 = 14.0 +/- 4.0, 12.4 +/- 3.0 and 16.7 +/- 1.0 microg/kg I.V., respectively). OPC 31260 (300 microg/kg I.V.) revealed a lower activity than SR 121463, and d(CH2)5[D-Ile2,Ile4]AVP (30 microg/kg I.V.) was without effect on the DDAVP response. Pretreatment with SR 49059 (1 mg/kg I.V.) and SR 27417 (a platelet-activating factor receptor antagonist) (1 mg/kg I.V.) had no effect on the DDAVP-induced (1 microg/kg I.V.) increases in FVIII, vWF and t-PA plasma levels. The present results, therefore, strongly suggest that the effect of DDAVP on hemostasis factors occurs via a specific interaction with extrarenal V2 receptors.
