Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to octreotide acetate (CAS RN 79517-01-4). Octreotide is indicated to treat acromegaly (pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone), metastatic carcinoid syndrome and diarrhea associated with vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting tumor. Octreotide, a cyclic octapeptide agent, inhibits growth hormone, glucagon, and insulin more effectively than the natural hormone, somatostatin. Its suppression of luteinizing hormone's (LH) response to gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) and inhibition of the release of serotonin, gastrin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), secretin, motilin, and pancreatic polypeptide are similar to somatostatin's actions. The drug also reduces growth hormone and/or IGF-I (somatomedin C) in acromegaly, inhibits gallbladder contractions, reduces bile secretion and suppresses the secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone.
