摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of reducing the rate of proliferation of adenoma cells which method comprises contacting said pituitary adenoma cells with one or more of an SSTR1 agonist, and/or one or more of an SSTR2 agonist, and/or one or more of SSTR5 agonist, or one or more pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, either alone or in combination.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of using somatostatin or a somatostatin agonist to inhibit the proliferation of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori), which comprises administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of said somatostatin or somatostatin agonist. Preferably, a somatostatin sub-type receptor 2 (SSTR-2) selective somatostatin agonist is administered in a method of this invention. The inhibition of H.pylori proliferation is useful in treating various gastroduodenal diseases such as peptic ulcers, gastric cancer and gastric lymphoma.
