Desmopressin
A synthetic analogue of vasopressin, the antidiuretic hormone, created in Prague in the 1960s by chemist Milan Zaoral and colleagues: it is used for diabetes insipidus, bedwetting and some bleeding disorders such as von Willebrand disease. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?It differs from natural vasopressin by just two changes: the first amino group has been removed and the arginine at position 8 is in the 'mirror-image' D form, unusual in nature. These are enough to make it a highly specific antidiuretic.
