[β-Mercapto-β,β-cyclopentamethylenepropionyl1, O-Me-Tyr2, Orn8]-Oxytocin has been used as an oxytocin receptor antagonist:
to study the influence of blockading the oxytocin receptors in the anterior cingulate cortex on helping behavior
to determine the receptors that mediate vasopressin-stimulated anion secretion across cultured porcine vas deferens epithelial cell monolayers
to study the influence of oxytocin receptors inhibition on intravenous and in situ oxytocin effects on the urinary bladder and cardiovascular activities in sham rats
