Bioactivity | Pasireotide (SOM230), a long-acting cyclohexapeptide somatostatin analogue, can improve agonist activity at somatostatin receptors (subtypes sst1/2/3/4/5, pKi=8.2/9.0/9.1/<7.0/9.9, respectively). Pasireotide can suppress GH, IGF-I and ACTH secretion, indicating potential efficacy in acromegaly and Cushing's disease. Pasireotide also exhibits antisecretory, antiproliferative, and proapoptotic activity[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Pasireotide exhibits unique high-affinity binding to human somatostatin receptors (subtypes sst1/2/3/4/5, pKi=8.2/9.0/9.1/<7.0/9.9, respectively)[1].Pasireotide effectively inhibits the growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) induced growth hormone (GH) release in primary cultures of rat pituitary cells, with an IC50 of 0.4 nM[1]. |
