描述
Vapreotide is a synthetic octapeptide analog of somatostatin, featuring a cyclic disulfide bridge. It mimics somatostatin’s biological actions, including hormone secretion inhibition, gastrointestinal regulation, and tumor angiogenesis suppression. Clinically, it has been used to control esophageal variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients and studied for its gastrointestinal motility effects. Current research explores its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and potential anti-cancer activities. Manufactured to GMP standards with ? 99.87% purity.

Mechanism of Action & Research Applications
Vapreotide functions as a somatostatin analog that binds to somatostatin receptors, inhibiting hormone release and gastrointestinal motility. It effectively controls variceal bleeding by reducing portal pressure and blood flow. Research indicates it may also exert anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects, making it valuable for studies on gut function, tumor biology, and immune responses.
