L-803087是一种高效选择性的生长抑素受体 sst4 激动剂，Ki 为 0.7 nM，选择性高于其他受体 280 倍。其在体外增强海马突触反应，体内增加癫痫小鼠模型的癫痫发作，适用于神经系统研究。

CYN 154806 TFA是一种环状八肽，选择性地拮抗生长抑素 sst2 受体，其对 sst2 和其他受体的 pIC50 值分别为 8.58 和 5.41-6.48。

Octreotide is an analog of somatostatin that binds to the somatostatin receptor 2/3/5. It can increase Gi activity and reduce the production of intracellular cAMP.

Octreotide acetate is a long-acting octapeptide with pharmacologic actions mimicking those of the natural hormone somatostatin.

Lanreotide, a synthetic cyclic octapeptide, is the analogue of somatostatin that can inhibit somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR-2).

FK962 is an enhancer of somatostatin release, with anti-dementia properties.
