title: The effects of N-terminal part modification of arginine vasopressin analogues with 2-aminoindane-2-carboxylic acid: a highly potent V2 agonist.
abstract: In this study we present the synthesis and some pharmacological properties of nine new analogues of arginine vasopressin modified in the N-terminal part of the molecule with 2-aminoindane-2-carboxylic acid (Aic). The peptides were tested for their in vitro uterotonic and in vivo pressor and antidiuretic activities. One of the new peptides, [Mpa1,Aic2,Val4,D-Arg8]VP, exhibited an antidiuretic activity similar to that of [Mpa1,D-Arg8]VP, thus being one of the most potent antidiuretic vasopressin analogues reported to date.
