Somatostatin and Somatostatin Analogues in Human Breast Carcinoma

  • Chapter
Peptides in Oncology II

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 129))

Abstract

Somatostatin is a tetradecapeptide that was initially isolated from the hypothalamus and was found to be an inhibitor of growth hormone (GH) secretion (Brazeau et al. 1973) and, under certain conditions, of prolactin (PRL) release (Kimura et al. 1986). However, the therapeutic use of natural somatostatin is limited by its short half-life and the short duration of its antisecretory effects (Thomas et al. 1991). In order to increase the therapeutic efficacy of the drug, somatostatin analogues with a prolonged half-life have been synthesized (e.g., BIM-23014C, RC160, and SMS201–995).
