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.
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).
