Lypressin FDA Link

The porcine antidiuretic hormone (VASOPRESSINS). It is a cyclic nonapeptide that differs from ARG-VASOPRESSIN by one amino acid, containing a LYSINE at residue 8 instead of an ARGININE. Lys-vasopressin is used to treat DIABETES INSIPIDUS or to improve vasomotor tone and BLOOD PRESSURE.

Also Known As:

8-Lysine Vasopressin; Diapid; Lys-Vasopressin; Lysyl Vasopressin; Postacton; 8 Lysine Vasopressin; Lys Vasopressin; Vasopressin, 8-Lysine; Vasopressin, Lysyl; Lysine Vasopressin; Vasopressin, Lysine; Cys-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Lys-Gly-NH2, cyclic 1-6 disulfide
