  • Patent number: 7060679
    Abstract: Methods of use of pharmaceutical compositions and novel peptides which are conformationally constrained backbone cyclized somatostatin analogs, having somatostatin receptor subtype selectivity, are disclosed. These patterns or receptor subtype selectivity provide compounds having improved therapeutic utility. Methods for synthesizing the somatostatin analogs and for screening of the somatostatin analogs are also disclosed. Furthermore, pharmaceutical compositions comprising somatostatin analogs are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 12, 2004
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2006
    Assignee: DeveloGen Israel Ltd.
