Indium Pentetreotide
This radiolabeled peptide targets somatostatin receptors that are overexpressed on certain hormone-producing tumors called neuroendocrine tumors, allowing doctors to locate and evaluate them using nuclear imaging scans. It combines a somatostatin analog with radioactive indium to create a targeted imaging agent.
Aires thérapeutiques
Mécanisme d'action
Competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the mevalonate pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis. This reduces intracellular cholesterol, upregulates LDL receptor expression, and lowers circulating LDL cholesterol.
Pharmacokinetics (PK)
Pharmacodynamics (PD)
Competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the mevalonate pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis. This reduces intracellular cholesterol, upregulates LDL receptor expression, and lowers circulating LDL cholesterol.
