Several studies indicate that oxytocin and vasopressin receptors in the human uterus are heterogeneous. We have investigated whether oxytocin and vasopressin bind to separate receptors or one class of receptors in human uterine smooth muscle cells. [3H]d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP, the vasopressin V1A receptor selective radioligand, was used for comparison of vasopressin binding sites in human uterine and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes.

The previously reported oxytocin antagonist L-371,257 (2) has been modified at its acetylpiperidine terminus to incorporate various pyridine N-oxide groups. This modification has led to the identification of compounds with improved pharmacokinetics and excellent oral bioavailability. The pyridine N-oxide series is exemplified by L-372,662 (30), which possessed good potency in vitro (Ki = 4.
