Carbetocin is an oxytocin receptor agonist and a peptide analog of oxytocin (Item No. 11799).{62008} It selectively binds to oxytocin receptors over vasopressin V2 receptors (Kds = 1.96 and 61.3 nM, respectively). Carbetocin induces contraction of isolated rat uterine strips (EC50 = 48 nM) and inhibits oxytocin-induced contraction of isolated rat uterine strips (pA2 = 8.21). In vivo, carbetocin (0.35 mg/animal) increases the frequency and amplitude of uterine contractions in early postpartum dairy cows.{62009} Carbetocin (6.4 mg/kg, i.p.) prevents stress-induced reinstatement of morphine-seeking behavior in mice.{62010} It also reverses learned helplessness and decreases social withdrawal induced by chronic unpredictable stress in tree shrews.{62011} Formulations containing carbetocin have been used in the prevention of excessive bleeding after childbirth.
