Meccanismo d'azione

Octreotide

Octreotide is a cyclic octapeptide that selectively binds somatostatin-receptor subtypes SSTR2 and SSTR5. Via G-protein-coupled signalling, adenylyl cyclase is inhibited, reducing the secretion of multiple hormones (growth hormone, IGF-1, glucagon, insulin, VIP, serotonin). Structural stabilisation via a disulfide bridge and D-amino acids extends the half-life relative to natural somatostatin (minutes to several hours).

Sekretin

Secretin binds the Gs-coupled secretin receptor (SCTR) on pancreatic duct cells, opens CFTR chloride channels and triggers secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic fluid and bile flow.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Octreotide and Sekretin?: Octreotide is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Sekretin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Octreotide: Synthetic octapeptide somatostatin analog with a longer half-life than endogenous somatostatin. FDA- and EMA-approved since the 1980s for acromegaly and neuroendocrine tumours. Sekretin: Secretin is a 27-amino-acid hormone that regulates pancreatic bicarbonate secretion. As ChiRhoStim it is FDA-approved as a diagnostic agent (pancreatic function test, gastrinoma test, secretin-enhanced MRCP). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
Which peptide is better supported by science, Octreotide or Sekretin?: The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Octreotide and "Studio sull'uomo" for Sekretin. 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 Octreotide and Sekretin in Germany and the United States?: Germania: Octreotide — Su prescrizione, Sekretin — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Octreotide — Su prescrizione, Sekretin — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
