Abstract
Two endocrinologically active octapeptide analogues (BIM-23014 C and BIM-23034) of somatostatin (SRIF) containing either an N- or C-terminal 3-(2-naphthyl)-D-Ala residue were examined for their ability to inhibit the in vitro receptor binding, clonal growth, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-stimulated cyclic AMP formation in human small cell lung cancer cell (SCLC) line NCI-H345. Both SRIF peptides inhibited [125I]SRIF(Tyr11)-14 binding with IC50 values in the low nM range. Colony formation in the in vitro SCLC growth assay was also inhibited in the same concentration range, as was VIP-stimulated cyclic AMP formation. Therefore, octapeptide analogues of SRIF function as SCLC SRIF receptor agonists.Entities:
