Human Octreotide

Source:

Background: Octreotide acetate is a longer acting synthetic octapeptide analog of naturally occurring somatostatin. It inhibits the secretion of gastro-entero-pancreatic peptide hormones and the release of growth hormone.

Description: Synthetic Human Octreotide is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 8 amino acids, having a molecular mass of 1019.26 Dalton and a molecular formula of C49H66N10O10S2 . Octreotide is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation: Octreotide was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with no additives.

Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Octreotide in sterile 18MO-cm H2O not less than 100 g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Stability: Lyophilized Octreotide although stable at room temperature, should be stored desiccated below 0 C. Reconstituted Octreotide is best stored refrigerated at 4 C. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity: Greater than 98.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Anion-exchange FPLC. (c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.

Amino acid sequence: The sequence was determined to be H-D-Phe-Cys-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-L-threoninol
