RC-160 (Vapreotide)  |
|
|
| Full Name |
RC-160 (Vapreotide) |
Sequence
(three-letter code) |
{d-PHE}{CYS}{TYR}{d-TRP}{LYS}{VAL}{CYS}{TRP}-NH2 |
|
| C-Terminal |
NH2 |
| Chemical Bridge |
Disulfide bridge: Cys2-Cys7 |
| Description |
RC-160 (octastatin/vapreotide) is a potent octapeptide analogue of somatostatin with growth inhibitory activity in experimental tumors in vitro and in vivo, including breast cancer. High-dose RC-160 can reduce serum levels of the breast growth factors IGF-I and prolactin but is ineffective in the management of metastatic breast cancer. Encouraging preclinical anti-tumor activity and the favourable toxicity profile in patients suggest the merit of future studies combining RC-160 with anti-oestrogen, cytotoxic and anti-angiogenic agents. |
| Solubility |
Soluble in water. The contents of this vial have been accurately determined. Both the stopper and the vial have been siliconized. Do not attempt to weight out a smaller portion of the contents. |
| Purity |
> 95% |
| Storage |
Before using, store the peptide in the DRY form at 0 - 5°C. For best and repeatable results, rehydrate the peptide immediately before using. Do not re-freeze any unused portions. |
