Biological Activity and Pharmaceutical Applications
Antidiuretic Activity: Desmopressin Acetate is a synthetic analog of vasopressin with potent antidiuretic effects. It acts on the renal tubules to increase water reabsorption, thereby reducing urine output.
Hemostatic Effects: It can also enhance the release of coagulation factors and platelets, aiding in hemostasis.
Pharmaceutical Applications: Used to treat conditions such as central diabetes insipidus, nocturnal enuresis, and hemophilia. It is also used to control bleeding during surgery or in patients with bleeding disorders.
