This compound, 8-ornithine-vasopressin (abbr. OVP), marketed as POR 8, is a synthetic analog of arginine-vasopressin. It is equipotent with vasopression with regard to vasoconstrictor activity, i.e., it mimics the effects of arginine-vasopressin on vascular smooth muscle, but has greatly reduced antidiuretic potency (Berde ands Cerletti, 1964; Kam and Tay, 1998).
