Meccanismo d'azione

Buserelin

Buserelin is a potent GnRH agonist: after an initial stimulatory surge ('flare'), continuous receptor occupancy causes downregulation and thereby suppression of LH, FSH and the downstream sex hormones.

Lanreotid

Lanreotide activates somatostatin receptors (chiefly SSTR2, additionally SSTR5), thereby suppressing the release of growth hormone, IGF-1 and various gastrointestinal and neuroendocrine hormones. It is metabolically far more stable than natural somatostatin.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Buserelin and Lanreotid?: Buserelin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Lanreotid is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Buserelin: Buserelin is a synthetic GnRH agonist (including as a nasal spray). It is used in endometriosis, hormone-dependent prostate cancer and assisted reproduction; approved in Europe (Suprefact), not in the US. Lanreotid: Lanreotide is a synthetic cyclic octapeptide analog of somatostatin. It binds preferentially to the somatostatin receptors SSTR2 and SSTR5 and is approved for treating acromegaly and certain neuroendocrine tumours. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
Which peptide is better supported by science, Buserelin or Lanreotid?: The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Buserelin and "RCT sull'uomo" for Lanreotid. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
What is the legal status of Buserelin and Lanreotid in Germany and the United States?: Germania: Buserelin — Su prescrizione, Lanreotid — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Buserelin — Non approvato, Lanreotid — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
