Octreotide is a synthetic octapeptide cyclic compound. It is a homologue of natural somatostatin and has the pharmacological activity of natural somatostatin. It has a long-acting effect (The half-life of this product is 1.5 hours, while natural somatostatin is 2 to 3 minutes). This product has a selective inhibitory effect on the secretion of growth hormon e, glucagon, and insuli n, and has a stronger effect than natural somatostatin. It has been proved by animal experiments that the inhibition of growth hormon e release is natural growth after intravenous injection of this product for 15 minutes. 70 times of somatostatin, insuli n inhibition is 3 times that of natural somatostatin. It also has an inhibitory effect on thyrotropin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, gastrin, cholecystokinin, and intestinal vasoactive peptides, and can inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, pancreatic amylase, lipase, and pepsin. Can slow down the passage time of gastrointestinal tract, promote the absorption of water and electrolytes, have a contraction effect on visceral blood vessels, can reduce blood flow to the viscera, reduce liver blood flow, reduce portal pressure and portal blood flow, reduce intestinal overgrowth Secretion, and can enhance the intestinal absorption of water and Na +.



Application

Octreotide is also used to treat a certain condition (acromegaly) that occurs when the body makes too much of a certain natural substance called growth hormon e. Treating acromegaly helps reduce the risk of serious problems such as diabetes and heart disease. Octreotide works by decreasing the amount of growth hormon e to normal levels.
