Nonpeptide Arginine Vasopressin Antagonists for Both V1A and V2 Receptors: Synthesis and Pharmacological Properties of 2-Phenyl-4'-((2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-1-yl)carbonyl)benzanilide Derivatives.
A series of compounds structurally related to 4'-[(2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-1-yl)carbonyl]benzanili de was synthesized and demonstrated to have arginine vasopressin (AVP) antagonist activity for both V1A and V2 receptors. The introduction of a phenyl or a 4-substituted phenyl group into the ortho position of the benzoyl moiety resulted in an increase in both binding affinity and antagonistic
