Octreotide Acetate

Octreotide Acetate is a synthetic octapeptide analog of natural somatostatin. It shares similar pharmacological effects with somatostatin but exhibits stronger and more prolonged inhibition of growth hormone (GH), glucagon, and insulin secretion. Its key mechanism involves binding to somatostatin receptors (SSTR2/SSTR5) to regulate endocrine function and reduce visceral blood flow.
