Lixivaptan is a selective, active vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist. It functions by blocking the vasopressin V2 receptors in the renal collecting duct, which inhibits the action of vasopressin on the V2 receptors. This results in a decrease in water reabsorption, leading to increased urine output and a reduction in extracellular fluid volume. At the molecular level, Lixivaptan competes with vasopressin for binding to the V2 receptors, preventing the activation of the Gs protein-coupled signaling pathway. This disrupts the normal physiological response to vasopressin, leading to the desired diuretic effect. In experiments, Lixivaptan′s mode of action involves its specific interaction with vasopressin V2 receptors, resulting in altered renal function and fluid balance.
