Meccanismo d'azione
Plecanatid
Plecanatide is structurally analogous to the body's own uroguanylin and, like it, activates the GC-C receptor at the gut surface, raising cGMP and fluid secretion. Its pH-dependent activity shifts the effect toward the proximal small intestine.
Terlipressin
Terlipressin is slowly converted in the body to lysine-vasopressin by cleavage of the three N-terminal glycyl residues (reservoir effect) and activates V1 receptors. The splanchnic vasoconstriction improves renal perfusion in hepatorenal syndrome.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Plecanatid and Terlipressin?
- Plecanatid is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Terlipressin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Plecanatid: Plecanatide is a 16-amino-acid analog of the body's own uroguanylin and a guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist. It is approved for chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and IBS with constipation (IBS-C). Terlipressin: Terlipressin is a 12-amino-acid vasopressin analog and prodrug of lysine-vasopressin. As a V1 receptor agonist it is vasoconstrictive and is approved for hepatorenal syndrome (FDA 2022, Terlivaz). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Plecanatid or Terlipressin?
- The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Plecanatid and "RCT sull'uomo" for Terlipressin. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Plecanatid and Terlipressin in Germany and the United States?
- Germania: Plecanatid — Non approvato, Terlipressin — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Plecanatid — Su prescrizione, Terlipressin — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
