Tolvaptan is indicated for slow kidney function decline in adults at risk of rapidly progressing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It is used to treat low sodium levels in the blood. Low blood sodium levels (hyponatremia) can be associated with various conditions like congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormones (SIADH). Tolvaptan is a selective vasopressin V 2-receptor antagonist with an affinity for the V 2- receptor that is 1.8 times that of native arginine vasopressin (AVP). Tolvaptan affinity for the V 2-receptor is 29 times that for the V 1a-receptor. Decreased binding of vasopressin to the V 2-receptor in the kidney lowers adenylate cyclase activity resulting in a decrease in intracellular adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations. Decreased cAMP concentrations prevent aquaporin 2 containing vesicles from fusing with the plasma membrane, which in turn, causes an increase in urine water excretion, an increase in free water clearance (aquaresis) and a decrease in urine osmolality.
