Description:

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

Lixivaptan, also known as CRTX-080; VPA-985; WAY-VPA-985, is a potent, orally active, non-peptide, selective vasopressin 2 receptor antagonist. Lixivaptan works by reducing the action of the hormone vasopressin that blocks fluid excretion. Lixivaptan acts by blocking vasopressin, an anti-diuretic hormone that causes the kidneys to retain water. When the body needs to remain hydrated under certain conditions, vasopressin can have protective effects.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Biological target:
Lixivaptan (VPA-985, WAY-VPA 985) is an orally active and selective vasopressin receptor V2 antagonist, with IC50 values of 1.2 and 2.3 nM for human and rat V2, respectively.
In vitro activity:
Based on preliminary experiments, 100 nM lixivaptan was chosen as the appropriate minimal concentration displaying a clear inhibitory effect on dDAVP-induced increase in cAMP levels in MCD4 cells (data not shown). Treatment with lixivaptan completely abolished the effect of dDAVP on cAMP (dDAVP+LXV = 1.013 ± 0.015, n = 250 cells) (Figure 1B). Reference: Int J Mol Sci. 2019 Dec 26;21(1):183. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31888044/
In vivo activity:
Lixivaptan is expected to have a safer liver profile compared to tolvaptan, the only drug approved to delay PKD progression, based on computational model results and initial clinical evidence. PCK rat and Pkd1RC/RC mouse littermates were fed without or with lixivaptan (0.5%) and R-568 (0.025% for rats and 0.04% for mice), alone or in combination, for 7 (rats) or 13 (mice) weeks. In PCK rats, the combined treatment strongly decreased kidney weight, cyst and fibrosis volumes by 20%, 49%, and 73%, respectively, compared to untreated animals. In Pkd1RC/RC mice, the same parameters were reduced by 20%, 56%, and 69%, respectively. Reference: FASEB J. 2021 Oct;35(10):e21874. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34486176/
