Product Information

• Name: Octreotide acetate-d8
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Octreotide acetate-d8 is an analog of somatostatin, a hormone that inhibits the secretion of growth hormone and other hormones. It is used in the treatment of cancer, particularly tumors that have high levels of testosterone or somatostatin receptors. Octreotide acetate-d8 acts as an inhibitor of kinases, which are enzymes involved in cell signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and division. This drug has been shown to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells by inhibiting kinase activity. Octreotide acetate-d8 has demonstrated anticancer effects in Chinese hamster ovary cells and has been used as a research tool for studying the mechanisms of action of kinase inhibitors. This drug can be detected in urine samples using mass spectrometry techniques due to its deuterium labeling at the acetate group.
