Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
vasopressin receptor 2
3 nM
In vitro
Tolvaptan blocks the binding of [(3)H]AVP to human V(2) receptors with 29-fold greater selectivity than that for V(1a) receptors, and showed no inhibition of V(1b) receptors. This compound inhibits not only the binding of [(3)H]AVP but also the AVP-induced production of cyclic AMP in human V(2)-receptor-expressing HeLa cells. It shows marked aquaresis in healthy and diseased animals. This chemical causes a concentration-dependent inhibition of arginine vasopressin-induced cAMP production with an apparent IC(50) of 0.1 nM in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) cells. It inhibits AVP-induced ERK signaling and cell proliferation. This compound also inhibits AVP-induced Cl(-) secretion and decreases in vitro cyst growth of ADPKD cells cultured within a three-dimensional collagen matrix.
In vivo
Tolvaptan improves hyponatremia, resulting in the prevention of death, and improves organ water retention in rat models with acute and chronic hyponatremia. This compound reduces cardiac preload without unfavorable effects on renal functions, systemic hemodynamics, or circulating neurohormones in dogs with heart failure (HF). It shows a decrease in kidney weight as well as in cyst and fibrosis volume in animal models of human polycystic kidney disease (PKD). This agent markedly elevates electrolyte-free water clearance (E-CH(2)O) or aquaresis to a positive value and increases urinary Arginine vasopressin (AVP) excretion in rats with heart failure.
