Background
The pituitary hormone vasopressin (AVP) is a cyclic nonapeptide that acts by binding to a family of vasopressin receptors that includes the V1a, V1b, and V2 receptors. V1b receptors are expressed in the anterior pituitary where they mediate ACTH release. Selective V1b antagonists have been shown to have anxiolytic and antidepressant effects.
