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
SSTR5 antagonist 1 is a selective, and orally available antagonist of somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5)(IC50s of 9.6 and 57 nM for hSSTR5 and mSSTR5, respectively).
SSTR5 antagonist 2 is a highly potent, oral active and selective antagonist of somatostatin (receptor) subtype 5 (SSTR5),with potential to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
SSTR5 antagonist 2 TFA is a highly potent, oral active and selective antagonist of somatostatin (receptor) subtype 5 (SSTR5), with potential to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
SSTR4 agonist 3 is a potent compound that activates the SSTR4 receptor. The SSTR4 receptor is highly expressed in the hippocampus and neocortex, which are regions associated with memory, learning, and Alzheimer's disease pathology. SSTR4 agonists demonstrate strong efficacy in rodent models of pain, both acute and chronic, by reducing peripheral nociception and inflammation. Considering its potential application in pain research, SSTR4 agonist 3 is of interest[1].
SSTR5 antagonist 6, an orally active antagonist specific to the somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5), exhibits an IC50 value of 24 nM. This compound is utilized in researching type 2 diabetes [1].
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.
Veldoreotide, also known as Somatoprim, is a unique somatostatin receptor subtypes 2-, 4- and 5-selective analogue which effectively reduces GH secretion in human GH-secreting pituitary adenomas, even in Octreotide non-responsive tumours.
