Felypressin
Identification
- Generic Name
- Felypressin
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB00093
- Background
A synthetic nonapeptide comprising cysteinyl, phenylalanyl, phenylalanyl, glutaminyl, asparaginyl, cysteinyl, prolyl, lysyl, and glycinamide residues in sequence, with a disulfide bridge joining the two cysteine residues. Its antidiuretic effects are less than those of vasopressin. It is a non-catecholamine vasoconstrictor used in local anaesthetic injections for dental use, and is an ingredient of preparations that have been used for treatment of pain and inflammation of the mouth.

- Pharmacodynamics
Felypressin is a synthetic analog of lypressin or vasopressin with a greater vasoconstrictor activity than antidiuretic action. It is used primarily as a hemostatic.
- Mechanism of action
Felypressin binds to the vasopressin receptor V1a. This causes contraction of the smooth muscle in the vascular bed, especially capillaries, small arterioles and venules.
