Active Ingredient Description
Pasireotide

Pasireotide is a novel cyclohexapeptide, injectable somatostatin analogue. Pasireotide exerts its pharmacological activity via binding to somatostatin receptors. Somatostatin receptors are expressed in many tissues, especially in neuroendocrine tumours in which hormones are excessively secreted, including ACTH in Cushing’s disease.
