Pasireotide

Pasireotide is a six-membered homodetic cyclic peptide composed of L-phenylglycyl, D-tryptophyl, L-lysyl, O-benzyl-L-tyrosyl, L-phenylalanyl, and modified L-hydroxyproline residues. It is a somatostatin analogue with pharmacologic properties similar to the natural hormone somatostatin. Used as its diaspartate salt in the treatment of Cushing's disease, it functions as an antineoplastic agent, peptide hormone, and conjugate base of pasireotide(2+).
