Abstract
A radioiodinated vasopressin antagonist, d(CH2)5[Tyr(NH2)9]AVP has been prepared. Iodination was carried out at the phenyl moiety of the tyrosylamide residue at position 9, followed by HPLC purification. Non-radiolabelled monoiodinated antagonist was used as a reference for identification. 125I-d(CH2)5[Tyr(Me)2, Tyr(NH2)9]AVP binding appeared to take place with a dissociation constant of 0.28 +/- 0.09 nM (Kd +/- SD) to V1 vasopressin receptors on rat liver membranes.
