Terlipressin(CAS: 14636-12-5)

Terlipressin is a synthetic vasoactive drug with the chemical formula C17H25NO4S. It is a non-peptide vasopressin receptor agonist, primarily used for its potent vasoconstrictive and natriuretic properties. Terlipressin is known for its ability to increase blood pressure and reduce fluid volume, making it effective in certain medical conditions.

Terlipressin is mainly used in the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome and as a vasopressor in cases of severe hypotension. It is also applied in research for studying cardiovascular and renal functions, and in veterinary medicine for managing specific conditions in animals.

Terlipressin is generally considered safe when used as directed, but it may cause side effects such as hypertension, bradycardia, and electrolyte imbalances. Proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines are essential, especially in medical and research settings. It is classified as a prescription drug and should be used under professional supervision.

Terlipressin should be stored in a tightly sealed container, protected from light and moisture, at a controlled room temperature (15-30°C). It is important to maintain proper storage conditions to ensure stability and potency of the compound.
