Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Amastatin HCl is an aminopeptidase inhibitor that also induces vasoconstriction. Co-injection of microgram amounts of amastatin, an aminopeptidase inhibitor, prolonged the effect of both vasopressin and oxytocin. Amastatin did not induce large vasopressin-like behavioral effects by itself, nor did it significantly potentiate the action of 1-deamino[1,6-dicarba, 8-arginine] vasopressin (Asu-AVP), an analog that lacks the N-terminal amino group. The effect of Asu-AVP, but not that of vasopressin, was potentiated by phosphoramidon, an inhibitor of neutral metalloendopeptidase ("enkephalinase A").
