This paper describes a novel series of nonpeptide vasopressin V2 receptor antagonists. It has been demonstrated that the 1-[4-(benzoylamino)benzoyl]-2,3,4,5-1H-benzazepines and 1-[4-(benzoylamino)benzoyl]-2,3,4,5-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines show a high affinity for V2 (and V1a) receptors. Among the 1-[4-(benzoylamino)benzoyl]-2,3,4,5-1H-benzazepine series, compounds with an alkylamino group on the benzazepine ring have been shown to have oral activity. A lipophilic group at the ortho position on the terminal benzoyl ring is important for both high V2 receptor affinity and oral activity. On the basis of these favorable properties, clinical testing of 31b has begun for use as an oral and iv aquaretic agent.

[Update on Tolvaptan for the Treatment of Refractory Ascites in Liver Cirrhosis].

Ascites is the most prevalent complication of decompensated cirrhosis, and approximately 5%-10% of cirrhotic ascites will develop into refractory ascites (RA). With complicated pathogenesis, obscure treatment strategies and poor prognosis, it is still a challenge for physicians to manage RA properly. Tolvaptan (TLV) is a new type of non-peptide selective arginine vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist targeting at suppressing renal water reabsorption, promoting free water excretion and raising blood sodium levels, which provides a new option for the treatment of RA in liver cirrhosis.

Loss-of-function mutations in the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) are a major cause of congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (cNDI). In the context of partial cNDI, the response to desmopressin (dDAVP) is partially, but not entirely, diminished. For those with the partial cNDI, restoration of V2R function would offer a prospective therapeutic approach.

We discovered tolvaptan as a new Eg5 inhibitor using molecular dynamics simulation-based virtual screening. The Eg5-monastrol, Eg5-ispinesib, and Eg5-STLC complexes with "closed" L5 conformation obtained in MD simulation were used to generate a combined pharmacophore model, and this model was used during the process of virtual screening. Further, the MD simulation for 1 µs showed that the binding of tolvaptan to Eg5 was stable due to the closure of the α2/L5/α3 pocket.

Background and objective Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited renal disorder; it affects people of all ethnic groups and is found in up to 10% of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Dietary intervention is important in people with renal disease, and it has been linked to greater estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) preservation. Tolvaptan, an orally-active nonpeptide, selective arginine vasopressin (AVP) V2R antagonist, was recently licensed in numerous countries for the treatment of ADPKD.

Saving body water by optimal reabsorption of water filtered by the kidney leading to excretion of urine with concentrations of solutes largely above that of plasma allowed vertebrate species to leave the aquatic environment to live on solid ground. Filtered water is reabsorbed for 70% and 20% by proximal tubules and thin descending limbs of Henle, respectively. These two nephron segments express the water channel aquaporin-1 located along both apical and basolateral membranes.
