Pharmacological profile of YM087, a novel nonpeptide dual vasopressin V1A and V2 receptor antagonist, in dogs.

Abstract
The pharmacological profile of YM087 (4'-[(2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d][1]benzazepin -6-yl) carbonyl]-2-phenylbenzanilide monohydrochloride) was investigated in dogs. YM087 showed high affinity for vasopressin V1A and V2 receptors in radioligand receptor binding studies with dog platelets (V1A) and kidney (V2). Intravenously injected YM087 (3-100 micrograms/kg) dose dependently inhibited the pressor response to exogenous vasopressin in anesthetized dogs. Intravenous (10-100 micrograms/kg) and oral (30-300 micrograms/kg) administration of YM087 dose dependently increased urine flow with little effect on urinary sodium and potassium excretion in normally hydrated conscious dogs. Concomitantly, the urine osmolality dropped below the plasma osmolality (300 mOsm/kg H2O). In contrast, intravenously injected furosemide (300 micrograms/kg) increased urine flow with marked increases in urinary sodium and potassium excretion. These results indicate that YM087 is the first orally effective dual vasopressin V1A and V2 receptor antagonist and that it will be a new tool in the investigation of the physiological and pathophysiological role of vasopressin in the cardiovascular system and kidney. YM087 may be useful for the treatment of patients with congestive heart failure, renal diseases and water-retaining diseases.
