Demoxytocin

Demoxytocin (INN) (brand names Sandopart, Odeax, Sandopral), also known as desaminooxytocin or deaminooxytocin, as well as 1-(3-mercaptopropanoic acid)oxytocin ([Mpa1]OT), is an oxytocic peptide drug that is used to induce labor, promote lactation, and to prevent and treat puerperal (postpartum) mastitis (breast inflammation). Demoxytocin is a synthetic analogue of oxytocin and has similar activities, but is more potent and has a longer half-life in comparison. Unlike oxytocin, which is given via intravenous injection, demoxytocin is administered as a buccal tablet formulation.
