Mechanism of Action & Research Applications
Atosiban acetate acts as a competitive antagonist at oxytocin and vasopressin receptors, inhibiting oxytocin-mediated inositol triphosphate signaling, reducing intracellular calcium, and suppressing uterine contractions. It’s commonly used in:
-
Preclinical tocolytic models to delay preterm labor
-
Investigating uterine contractility and receptor signaling
-
Experimental studies in assisted reproduction and implantation
-
Research on receptor-specific modulation in reproductive physiology
Side Effects (For Research Context Only)
In experimental models, Atosiban acetate may induce:
-
Mild hypotension and vasodilation due to receptor blockade
-
Transient gastrointestinal effects like nausea
-
Modulated implantation rates in reproductive studies
-
Dose-dependent impacts on placental blood flow in isolated models
These effects are useful for understanding uterine and vascular responses under controlled research conditions.
