Abstract

One of the main objectives of our current work is the development of new somatostatin analogs that would retain the general characteristics of [Tyr3]octreotate (Tate) while showing potential for clinical application. In this respect, study of their interaction with the sst2 is crucial in providing preliminary structure-activity relationships data. In the present work we report on the synthesis and the preliminary biological evaluation of a total of 15 new structurally modified [Tyr3]octreotate analogs. The binding affinities were determined during competition binding assays in sst2-positive rat acinar pancreatic AR4-2J cell membranes using [125I-Tyr3]octreotide as the radioligand.
