Werkingsmechanisme
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).
Plecanatid
Plecanatide is structurally analogous to the body's own uroguanylin and, like it, activates the GC-C receptor at the gut surface, raising cGMP and fluid secretion. Its pH-dependent activity shifts the effect toward the proximal small intestine.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Octreotide and Plecanatid?
- Octreotide is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)", while Plecanatid is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)". 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. Plecanatid: Plecanatide is a 16-amino-acid analog of the body's own uroguanylin and a guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist. It is approved for chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and IBS with constipation (IBS-C). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Octreotide or Plecanatid?
- The highest available evidence level is "Humane RCT" for Octreotide and "Humane RCT" for Plecanatid. 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 Plecanatid in Germany and the United States?
- Duitsland: Octreotide — Op recept, Plecanatid — Niet goedgekeurd. Verenigde Staten: Octreotide — Op recept, Plecanatid — Op recept. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
