Product Description

Vapreotide acetate (trade name: Sanvar) is a synthetic somatostatin analog and a NK1R antagonist with an IC50 of 330 nM. It is used to treat diarrhea associated with AIDS and esophageal variceal hemorrhage in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. The sequence of the eight-residue peptide is H-D-Phe-Cys(1)-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Cys(1)-Trp-NH2.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
NK1
ln Vitro
Vapreotide reduces the intracellular calcium increases and NF-κB activation triggered by Substance P (SP) in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, vapreotide prevents HEK293-NK1R and U373MG cell lines from producing MCP-1 and IL-8 in response to SP. When SP pretreatment is applied, the inhibitory effect of vapreotide on HIV-1 infection of human MDM in vitro can be reversed]. Human pituitary adenoma cells that secrete GH are strongly inhibited by vapreotide at concentrations as low as 10-12-10-14 M from releasing GH, PRL, and/or alpha-subunits. An IC50 of 0.1 pM is required for vapreotide to inhibit GH release[2]. Vapreotide has low affinity for SSTR1 and -4 (IC50=200 and 620 nM, respectively) and moderate-to-high affinities for SSTR2, -3, and -5 (IC50=0.17, 0.1, and 21 nM, respectively). The proliferation of CHO cells expressing SSTR2 and SSTR5 (EC50=53 and 150 pM, respectively) is inhibited by RC-160 when exposed to serum[3].
ln Vivo
Oesophagogastric varices rupturing, which causes bleeding, is a serious side effect of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. When rats are given vapreotide acutely, their collateral circulation blood flow is reduced, and when they are given it chronically, its development is attenuated[4]. When administered subcutaneously at a dose of 100 μg/day/animal, RC-160 reduces tumor volumes and weights by approximately 40%. When medication is initiated early in the tumor's development, dipreotide can slow the growth of androgen-independent prostate cancer[5].
Cell Assay
In aMEM supplemented with 10% FCS, CHO cells are cultivated. A MEM containing 10% FCS or insulin with or without vapreotide is used as the attachment medium after an overnight stay. With a Coulter counter model ZM, cells are counted to determine cell growth after 24 hours[3].
Animal Protocol
Rats: Acute effects in DMNA rats are assessed at baseline and 30 minutes after vapreotide (8 μg/kg/hr) or placebo infusions. Subcutaneous implants are used to assess chronic hemodynamic effects in anesthetized DMNA rats and sham rats over a five-week period. The combined dilution–TTU method and the transit time ultrasound method are two methods used to measure hemodynamic parameters, including splenorenal shunt blood flow[4].
Mice: For four weeks, somatostatin analog vapreotide (20 μg/day/animal), bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) antagonist, or a combination of both peptides, are administered to nude mice containing xenografts of the androgen-independent human prostate-cancer cell line PC-3. Tumor weights and volumes are quantified [5].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
