Description
Terlipressin acetate (CAS No. 914453-96-6) is a synthetic peptide and a vasopressin analogue recognized for its powerful vasoactive effects. As a highly selective vasopressin V1 receptor agonist, Terlipressin acetate reduces splanchnic blood flow and portal pressure, making it a valuable research tool for studying hemodynamic regulation and acute variceal bleeding.
Beyond its vasoactive action, Terlipressin acetate has shown promising anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties, further extending its significance in experimental pharmacology. These properties highlight its potential for use in hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) research and investigations of norepinephrine-resistant septic shock.
Produced under strict GMP manufacturing conditions, Terlipressin acetate is supplied at high purity and stability, ensuring reliable performance in laboratory applications. With its well-documented pharmacological profile, it serves as an important compound for studies in vascular physiology, liver-related disorders, and systemic inflammation.
Applications in Research
Exploration of portal hypertension and variceal bleeding mechanisms.
Studies on renal perfusion and hepatorenal syndrome models.
Investigations into inflammatory pathways and oxidative stress.
Evaluation of alternative therapies for septic shock.

Mechanism of Action & Research Applications
Terlipressin acetate functions as a selective vasopressin V1 receptor agonist, leading to vasoconstriction of splanchnic circulation and a subsequent reduction in portal venous pressure. This makes it an essential compound for studying portal hypertension and variceal bleeding mechanisms.
In addition, Terlipressin acetate has been shown to enhance renal perfusion by increasing effective arterial blood volume, making it useful for research into hepatorenal syndrome (HRS). Its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties provide further opportunities for exploring systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and shock models.
Research areas include:
Acute variceal bleeding studies.
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) pathophysiology.
Sepsis and septic shock models.
Vascular and inflammatory signaling pathways.
