Preferred Label : Lanreotide Acetate Copolymer Microparticles;
NCIt synonyms : Lanreotide Acetate Copolymer Microparticle;
NCIt definition : A prolonged-release depot suspension of microparticles containing the acetate salt
of lanreotide, a synthetic peptide analog of the naturally occurring somatostatin,
and copolymers. Lanreotide inhibits the secretion of growth hormone (GH) by binding
to pituitary somatostatin receptors, and may inhibit various other hormones, including
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and the gastroenteropancreatic hormones insulin,
glucagon and gastrin. This agent has a much longer duration of action than natural
somatostatin and is selective towards the inhibition of growth hormone.;
