Effects of vasopressin, its C-terminal fragments and derivatives on the system of hemostasis were studied in rats. Modification of amino acid sequence in vasopressin molecule led to distinct alterations in main peptide properties. Presence of ring structure in the peptide molecule appears to be obligatory to increase the content of factor VIII in blood, while absence of glycine in side chain caused a decrease in the rate of fibrinolysis and in activity of plasminogen activators.
