Cortistatin-29 is a neuropeptide that is structurally similar to somatostatin-28. It is produced by cleavage of preprocortistatin to procortistatin, which is cleaved at dibasic amino acids to form cortistatin-29 and cortistatin-14 as well as other partial cleavage products. Cortistatin mRNA is expressed in the human brain and in interneurons of the rat hippocampus and cerebral cortex. Cortistatin-29 binds to somatostatin (SST) receptors with IC50 values of 2.8, 7.1, 0.2, 3, and 13.7 nM for SST1-5, respectively. Cortistatin-29 is found at similar levels as cortistatin-14 in mouse AtT20 cells but is secreted at a lower level. Cortistatin-29 corresponds to residues 85-112 of the rat peptide sequence.
SRA880 is a non-peptide antagonist of somatostatin sst1-receptor. SRA880 displayed significantly lower affinity for the other human recombinant somatostatin receptors ( pK(d) < or = 6.0). SRA880 shows a certain binding affinity to the human dopamine D4 re
Pasireotide L-aspartate salt is a stable cyclohexapeptide somatostatin mimic that 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).
L-803087 TFA is a highly potent and selective agonist of the somatostatin sst4 receptor, exhibiting a Ki value of 0.7 nM. It displays a remarkable selectivity, being over 280-fold more preferential for the sst4 receptor compared to other somatostatin receptors. Furthermore, L-803087 TFA promotes AMPA-mediated synaptic responses in hippocampal preparations and enhances kainate-induced seizures in mice.
CYN 154806 is a potent and selective somatostatin sst2 receptor antagonist, The pIC50 values are 8.58, 5.41, 6.07, 5.76 and 6.48 for human recombinant sst2, sst1, sst3, sst4 and sst5 receptors respectively.
Potent somatostatin receptor 1 (sst1) agonist; displays selectivity for sst1 (IC50 values are 30.9 nM, 345 nM, > 1 μM, > 10 μM and > 10μM for human sst1, sst3, sst4, sst2 and sst5 respectively). Attenuates somatostatin release in the rat nucleus accumbens
