Desmopressin (DDAVP^®, Stimate^®, Minirin^®) is a synthetic drug that mimics the action of antidiuretic hormone, also known as arginine vasopressin. It may be taken nasally, intravenously, or through a recently developed pill.

Chemistry

---

Desmopressin (1-desamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin) is a modified form of the normal human hormone arginine vasopressin, an octapeptide (a chain of eight amino acids).

Compared to vasopressin, desmopressin's first amino acid has been deaminated, and the arginine at the eighth position is in the levo rather than the dextro form (see stereochemistry).
