Terlipressin diacetate is a vasopressin analogue with potent vasoactive properties. Terlipressin diacetate is a highly selective vasopressin V1 receptor agonist that reduces the splanchnic blood flow and portal pressure and controls acute variceal bleeding. Terlipressin diacetate exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. Terlipressin diacetate has the potential for hepatorenal syndrome and norepinephrine-resistant septic shock research.
