Abstract
Macrocyclic compounds have emerged as potent tools in the field of drug design, offering unique advantages for enhancing molecular recognition, improving pharmacokinetic properties, and expanding the chemical space accessible to medicinal chemists. This review delves into the evolutionary trajectory of macrocyclic-based strategies, tracing their journey from laboratory innovations to clinical applications. Beginning with an exploration of the defining structural features of macrocycles and their impact on drug-like characteristics, this discussion progresses to highlight key design principles that have facilitated the development of diverse macrocyclic drug candidates. Through a series of illustrative representative case studies from approved macrocyclic drugs and candidates spanning various therapeutic areas, particular emphasis is placed on their efficacy in targeting challenging protein-protein interactions, enzymes, and receptors. Additionally, this review thoroughly examines how macrocycles effectively address critical issues such as metabolic stability, oral bioavailability and selectivity. Valuable insights into optimization strategies employed during both approved and clinical phases underscore successful translation of promising leads into efficacious therapies while providing valuable perspectives on harnessing the full potential of macrocycles in drug discovery and development endeavors.

Abstract
Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of patients with diabetes insipidus is often a difficult task for the endocrinologist. This case report focuses on a patient with a long history of central idiopathic diabetes insipidus who had a substantial decrease in desmopressin requirements during the last year of follow-up. Conducting tests with osmotic stimulation (test with water deprivation, infusion test with hypertonic solution) made it possible to answer the question of the persistence of the disease, as well as to determine a further management plan, taking into account the physiological characteristics of our patient.

Abstract
Itsenko-Cushing's disease is a rare, multisystem disease characterized by the presence of endogenous central hypercortisolism due to an ACTH-secreting brain tumor. The frequency of Itsenko-Cushing's disease in adulthood is 0.7-2.4 per 1 million population, and only 10% of all cases occur in childhood. The age of onset of the disease in children is on average 12.0-14.8 years. A typical manifestation of the disease in children, along with obesity and arterial hypertension, is a decrease in growth rates. The gold standard for diagnosing central hypercortisolism is MRI of the brain, however, the effectiveness of this method in children is only 50%. The main method of treatment is neurosurgical transnasal transsphenoidal removal of endosellar pituitary adenoma, which makes it possible to achieve remission in more than 65% of cases. This article describes a clinical case of Itsenko-Cushing's disease in a 6.5-year-old child with obesity, arterial hypertension, atypically «high» stature, average velocity and non-visualizable corticotropinoma. The article presents the stages of diagnostic search, the complexity of differential diagnosis and surgical treatment, the results of follow-up after the treatment and a brief review of the literature.

Abstract
Disorders of water and sodium homeostasis in the human body—or dysnatraemias—are frequently encountered in clinical practice, but their analysis is often complex and their management is often troublesome. For many clinicians, it remains challenging to correctly interpret all relevant biochemical parameters involved in the analysis of dysnatraemia, especially when a rapid ‘bedside’ evaluation is required to initiate treatment. By mathematically deriving the relationship between plasma osmolality and urine osmolality under physiological circumstances, we were able to propose a novel and clinically useful nomogram for the rapid evaluation of disorders of plasma osmolality. We believe that the presented osmolality nomogram could be a transparent and clinically useful tool for the quick evaluation of disorders of the water and sodium balance in patients.

Abstract
Adipsic diabetes insipidus (ADI) is a rare but devastating disorder of water balance with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Most patients develop the disease as a result of hypothalamic destruction from a variety of underlying etiologies. Damage to osmolar-responsive neuroreceptors, primarily within the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei, results in impaired production and release of arginine vasopressin (AVP). Important regulating circuits of thirst sense and drive are regionally colocalized with AVP centers and therefore are also injured. Patients with central diabetes insipidus with impaired thirst response, defined as ADI, suffer from wide swings of plasma osmolality resulting in repeated hospitalization, numerous associated comorbidities, and significant mortality. Treatment recommendations are based largely on expert advice from case series owing to the rarity of disease prevalence. Acute disease management focuses on fixed dosing of antidiuretic hormone analogues and calculated prescriptions of obligate daily water intake. Long-term care requires patient/family education, frequent reassessment of clinical and biochemical parameters, as well as screening and treatment of comorbidities.

Abstract
The treatment of central diabetes insipidus has not changed significantly in recent decades, and dDAVP and replacement of free water deficit remain the cornerstones of treatment. Oral dDAVP has replaced nasal dDAVP as a more reliable mode of treatment for chronic central diabetes insipidus. Hyponatraemia is a common side effect, occurring in one in four patients, and should be avoided by allowing a regular break from dDAVP to allow a resultant aquaresis. Hypernatraemia is less common, and typically occurs during hospitalization, when access to water is restricted, and in cases of adipsic DI. Management of adipsic DI can be challenging, and requires initial inpatient assessment to establish dose of dDAVP, daily fluid prescription, and eunatraemic weight which can guide day-to-day fluid targets in the long-term.

Abstract
The vasopressin analogue desmopressin (desamino-d-arginine8 vasopressin, dDAVP, 1) is a potent vasopressin 2 (V2) receptor (V2R) agonist approved in many countries for the treatment of diabetes insipidus, primary nocturnal enuresis, nocturia, and coagulation disorders. Since 1 is primarily excreted via the kidneys, an age-related decline in kidney function leads to slower elimination, prolonged antidiuresis, and hyponatremia. In search of novel, potent, selective, and short-acting peptidic V2R agonists, we synthesized a series of C-terminally truncated analogues of [Val4]dDAVP, 2, modified in positions 2, 3, and 7 and/or at the disulfide bridge. The peptides were evaluated for in vitro potency at the human V2 receptor, selectivity versus the related receptors (human vasopressin 1a receptor, human vasopressin 1b receptor, and human oxytocin receptor), and pharmacokinetic profiles in rodents and other higher species. The truncated analogues show excellent potency at the V2R, increased systemic clearance, and shorter half-life in rats. Two compounds 19 (c(Bua-Cpa-Thi-Val-Asn-Cys)-Pro-Agm) and 38 (c(Bua-Cpa-Thi-Val-Asn-Cys)-Pro-d-Arg-NEt2) have been selected for clinical development for nocturia.

Abstract
Diabetes insipidus and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion lie at opposite ends of the spectrum of disordered renal handling of water. Whereas renal retention of water insidiously causes hypotonic hyponatremia in syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, diabetes insipidus may lead to free water loss, hypernatremia, and volume depletion. Hypernatremia and hyponatremia are associated with worse outcomes and longer intensive care stays. Moreover, pathologies causing polyuria and hyponatremia in patients in intensive care may be multiple, making diagnosis challenging. We provide an approach to the diagnosis and management of these conditions in intensive care patients.

Abstract
It is believed that the vasopressinergic system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CKD on changes in vasopressin system expression in the kidney cortex in rats with nephrectomy. The study was performed on 4 groups of Sprague Dawley (SPRD) rats: a control group (CN), 1/2 nephrectomy (N1/2), 2/3 nephrectomy (N2/3), and 5/6 nephrectomy (N5/6). Blood and the kidney cortex were collected to evaluate plasma copeptin concentrations and mRNA expressions of V1a vasopressin receptors (V1aR) and V2 vasopressin receptors (V2R) and V1aR, V2R, and aquaporin 2 (AQP2) protein levels. V1aR and V2R mRNA expression in the kidney cortex was significantly lower in the CN group compared with the other groups. In contrast, the V1aR, V2R, and AQP2 protein levels were significantly higher in the CN group compared with all of the nephrectomized groups. Plasma copeptin concentration was significantly lower in the CN group than in the nephrectomized groups. CKD caused significant changes in the expression of the vasopressinergic system. Further research is needed to explain the mechanisms of the impact of the vasopressinergic system on the kidney in CKD.

Abstract
The synthetic AVP analogue 1-desamino-8-d-arginine-vasopressin (dDAVP) is used for treatment of polyuric disorders. Lack of commercially available assays limits the usefulness of dDAVP as a diagnostic tool in the assessment of renal concentrating capacity. We aimed to develop a specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) for determination of plasma dDAVP (pdDAVP) in order to investigate the relationship between pdDAVP levels and urine osmolality (Uosm). Further, we aimed to determine the onset, duration, and maximum concentrating capacity following intravenous (i.v.) bolus dDAVP injection. The dDAVP assay was based on a well-established RIA for measurements of AVP. Fourteen healthy subjects (aged 15-18 years) participated. Blood and urine samples were collected prior to and after i.v. bolus of 0.03 µg/kg dDAVP. Diuresis and Uosm was measured for nine hours following dDAVP administration. PdDAVP and Uosm were analyzed.We established a specific RIA for the measurement of pdDAVP. All subjects reached maximal pdDAVP concentration (Cmax) 30 minutes following infusion, and a rise in Uosm after 60 minutes. Maximal Uosm varied between subjects, with no direct correlation to the achieved pdDAVP levels. We found no significant intra-individual variation between two dDAVP infusions and the effect was reproducible in terms of Cmax and maximal Uosm. We characterized the relationship between pdDAVP and Uosm after dDAVP bolus injection in healthy adolescents using our dDAVP assay. Maximal Uosm achieved correlated with the baseline Uosm levels and seemed unrelated to achieved pdDAVP levels. The urine concentrating response was maintained at least eight hours.

Abstract
Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is a severe pathology of the hypothalamic-pituitary system, based on a deficit of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). The disease is a life threating condition for patients without adequate replacement therapy by various preparations of arginine vasopressin. This review presents the current concepts on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic proсedures, and treatment of CDI. The article gives comparative pharmacological characteristics of various desmopressin forms for the treatment of the central form of disease. When choosing a therapy for the treatment of CDI, the article highlights the long-term high efficiency and safety of the original sublingual form of desmopressin (Mininin Melt), which is confirmed by real clinical practice and clinical trials, including the comparison with other forms of desmopressin.

Abstract
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a hereditary or acquired condition which disrupts normal life of persons with the condition; disruption is due to increased thirst and passing of large volumes of urine, even at night. A systematic search of literature for DI was carried out using the PubMed database for the purpose of this review. Central DI due to impaired secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP) could result from traumatic brain injury, surgery, or tumors whereas nephrogenic DI due to failure of the kidney to respond to AVP is usually inherited. The earliest treatment was posterior pituitary extracts containing vasopressin and oxytocin. The synthetic analog of vasopressin, desmopressin has several benefits over vasopressin. Desmopressin was initially available as intranasal preparation, but now the oral tablet and melt formulations have gained significance, with benefits such as ease of administration and stability at room temperature. Other molecules used for treatment include chlorpropamide, carbamazepine, thiazide diuretics, indapamide, clofibrate, indomethacin, and amiloride. However, desmopressin remains the most widely used drug for the treatment of DI. This review covers the physiology of water balance, causes of DI and various treatment modalities available, with a special focus on desmopressin.

Abstract
Central diabetes insipidus (CDI), which is characterized by polyuria and polydipsia, is caused by a deficiency of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP). While CDI is treated with desmopressin, an analogue of AVP, the intranasal formulation is inconvenient and CDI patients reportedly prefer the oral formulation to the intranasal one. In Japan, intranasal desmopressin had been the only formulation for the treatment of CDI until 2012, when the desmopressin orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) was approved for treatment. In this study we analyzed 26 patients with CDI in whom intranasal desmopressin was switched to desmopressin ODT. The mean daily dose of intranasal desmopressin was 10 ± 8 μg/day, and that of desmopressin ODT was 142 ± 59 μg/day. The mean serum sodium levels were 140 ± 5 mmol/L and 140 ± 3 mmol/L with intranasal desmopressin and desmopressin ODT, respectively, and there were no significant differences between these values. The frequency of hyponatremia (<135 mmol/L) with intranasal desmopressin was 11.7% and that with desmopressin ODT was 7.6%, while the frequency of hyponatremia (<130 mmol/L) with intranasal desmopressin was 4.2% and that with desmopressin ODT was 1.3%. Statistical analyses revealed that incidence of hyponatremia was significantly decreased after the switch to desmopressin ODT. Thus, it is suggested that water balance is better controlled with desmopressin ODT than with intranasal desmopressin in patients with CDI.

Abstract
The arginine vasopressin (AVP) type 2 receptor (V2R) is unique among AVP receptor subtypes in signaling through cAMP. Its key function is in the kidneys, facilitating the urine concentrating mechanism through the AVP/V2 type receptor/aquaporin 2 system in the medullary and cortical collecting ducts. Recent clinical and research observations strongly support the existence of an extrarenal V2R. The clinical importance of the extrarenal V2R spans widely from stimulation of coagulation factor in the endothelium to as yet untested potential therapeutic targets. These include V2R-regulated membranous fluid turnover in the inner ear, V2R-regulated mitogensis and apoptosis in certain tumor tissues, and numerous other cell types where the physiological role of V2Rs still requires further research. Here, we review current evidence on the physiological and pathophysiological functions of renal and extrarenal V2Rs. These functions of V2R are important, not only in rare diseases with loss or gain of function of V2R but also in relation to the recent use of nonpeptide V2R antagonists to treat hyponatremia and possibly retard the growth of cysts and development of renal failure in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The main functions of V2R in principal cells of the collecting duct are water, salt, and urea transport by modifying the trafficking of aquaporin 2, epithelial Na(+) channels, and urea transporters and vasodilation and stimulation of coagulation factor properties, mainly seen with pharmacological doses of 1-desamino-8-D-AVP. The AVPR2 gene is located on the X chromosome, in a region with high probability of escape from inactivation; this may lead to phenotypic sex differences, with females expressing higher levels of transcript than males.
