There is one exact (name or code) match for vasopressin

 
Argipressin is a neurohypophysial hormone from the vasopressin hormone family. Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels. The antidiuretic action of Argipressin is ascribed to increase in reabsorption of water by the renal tubules. Argipressin can cause contraction of smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder, urinary bladder and all parts of the vascular bed, especially the capillaries, small arterioles and venules with less effect on the smooth musculature of the large veins. Agripressin for injections is used for use in diabetes insipidus, when this is not of nephrogenic origin and control of bleeding from oesophageal varices. In addition, argipressin is indicated to increase blood pressure in adults with vasodilatory shock (e.g., post-cardiotomy or sepsis) who remain hypotensive despite fluids and catecholamines.

Neratinib (HKI-272) is a pan-HER inhibitor, this irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor binds and inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity of epidermal growth factor receptors, EGFR (or HER1), HER2 and HER4, which leads to reduced phosphorylation and activation of downstream signaling pathways. Neratinib is a modified form of the discontinued compound pelitinib, and was originally being develoAdditionally, phase II development of oral neratinib as a neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer, as a second-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer, and for other solid tumours is also in progress in numerous countries worldwide. ped by Wyeth (later Pfizer). Oral neratinib is awaiting approval as an extended adjuvant therapy for breast cancer in the EU and in the US. Blocking HER2 function by a small molecule kinase inhibitor, such as neratinib, represents an attractive alternate strategy for the growth inhibition of HER2-positive tumours.
Tolvaptan is a selective and competitive arginine vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist. Vasopressin acts on the V2 receptors found in the walls of the vasculature and luminal membranes of renal collecting ducts. By blocking V2 receptors in the renal collecting ducts, aquaporins do not insert themselves into the walls thus preventing water absorption. This action ultimately results in an increase in urine volume, decrease urine osmolality, and increase electrolyte-free water clearance to reduce intravascular volume and an increase serum sodium levels. Tolvaptan is especially useful for heart failure patients as they have higher serum levels of vasopressin. Tolvaptan is used to treat low blood sodium levels (hyponatremia) associated with various conditions like congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormones (SIADH). FDA approved on May 19, 2009. Tolvaptan is sold under the trade names Samsca and Jinarc.
Conivaptan is an arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptor antagonist with affinity for AVP receptor subtypes V1A and V2. The antidiuretic action of AVP is mediated through activation of the V2 receptor, which functions to regulate water and electrolyte balance at the level of the collecting ducts in the kidney. Conivaptan was approved in 2004 for hyponatremia caused by syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone. Conicaptan is being evaluated for reduce intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury, and as a treatment for heart failure.
Desmopressin is a chemical that is similar to Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), which is found naturally in the body and is produced by the hypothalamus and stored, in the posterior pituitary gland. The main function of ADH is to regulate extracellular fluid volume in the body. ADH secretion is stimulated by angiotensin II, linking it to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). ADH stimulates water reabsorption in the kidneys by causing the insertion of aquaporin-2 channels on the apical surface of cells of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting tubules. Desmopressin also causes vasoconstriction through its action on vascular smooth muscle cells of the collecting tubules. It increases urine concentration and decreases urine production. Acetate salt of desmopressin is sold under brand name DDAVP with different formulations: DDAVP Nasal Spray is indicated as antidiuretic replacement therapy in the management of central cranial diabetes insipidus and for management of the temporary polyuria and polydipsia following head trauma or surgery in the pituitary region. It is ineffective for the treatment of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. DDAVP Injection is indicated for patients with hemophilia A with factor VIII coagulant activity levels greater than 5% and is indicated for patients with mild to moderate classic von Willebrand’s disease (Type I) with factor VIII levels greater than 5%. It was suggested that desmopressin-induced relaxation was mediated by a receptor subtype sharing both V1A and V2 pharmacological profiles.

Relcovaptan is a potent, orally active nonpeptide vasopressin V1a antagonist that was undergoing clinical development with Sanofi-Synthélabo (formerly Sanofi) in France. SR49059 is specifically and selectively antagonizes the effect of vasopressin on the V1a receptor in animals’ and in humans. The drug has been shown to have an excellent safety profile in single and repeated dose toxicological studies in animals. In the human uterus in vitro, SR49059 caused a dose-dependent inhibition of vasopressin V1a receptor-mediated activity of myometrial strips and isolated uterine arteries. In vivo in nonpregnant women, an inhibition of vasopressin-induced uterine activity has been observed.
