SELECTIVE TREATMENT OF ENDOTHELIAL SOMATOSTATIN RECEPTORS.

摘要

The invention provides for the use of somatostatin receptor selective ligands (selective for SSTR1 or SSTR4) to treat human endothelial cells and to formulate medicaments for human use. The medicaments may for example be used to treat an angiogenic disease. In various embodiments, the angiogenic disease may for example be macular degeneration or a solid tumor. The SSTR1 or SSTR4 selective agonists may include the SSTR1 agonist (des-AA^1,2,5[DTrp⁸,IAamp⁹]SS).
