Pasireotide ditrifluoroacetate

Pasireotide (SOM230) ditrifluoroacetate, a long-acting cyclohexapeptide somatostatin analogue, can improve agonist activity at somatostatin receptors (subtypes sst1/2/3/4/5, pKi=8.2/9.0/9.1/<7.0/9.9, respectively). Pasireotide ditrifluoroacetate exhibits antisecretory, antiproliferative, and proapoptotic activity.
