IUPAC name: N-[4-(2-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-imidazo[4,5-d][1]benzazepine-6-carbonyl)phenyl]-2-phenylbenzamide
ChEBI definition: The amide resulting from the formal condensation of 4-[(biphenyl-2-ylcarbonyl)amino]benzoic acid with the benzazepine nitrogen of 2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d][1]benzazepine. It is an antagonist for two of the three types of arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptors, V1a and V2. It is used as its hydrochloride salt for the treatment of hyponatraemia (low blood sodium levels) caused by syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH).
Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): vasopressin receptor antagonist, aquaretic.
Also known as: Conivaptan, conivaptan, CONIVAPTAN, Conivaptan HCl (Vaprisol)

Patent coverage: 811 distinct patent families (3,108 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 3 matched compound structure(s). One matched structure accounts for 3,039 (98%) of the total. Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

Molecules sharing ≥1 of this drug’s curated primary targets, merged from two biobtree sources and ranked by shared-target count, then clinical phase: ChEMBL clinical-stage candidates (development phase ≥2) and PubChem drug-class bioactivity (approved / known drugs acting on the target). Deduplicated by drug name; the drug’s own salt forms are excluded. Note: for a drug with few primary targets a shared-target match can reflect off-target / promiscuous binding rather than the same therapeutic mechanism — the phase ordering surfaces bona-fide therapeutics first.
