Description

Octreotide acetate, a long-acting synthetic analog of native somatostatin, inhibits growth hormone, glucagon, and insulin more potently.

In Vivo

Octreotide-treated groups show a significant reduction in the tumor volume when compared with saline group. Octreotide-PPSG (1.4 mg/kg, i.p.) shows greater antitumor effect than Octreotide-soln (100 μg/kg, i.p.). Octreotide-treatments results in significant inhibitory effect on the expression levels of SSTR2 and SSTR5 in primary HCC-bearing rats compared with the saline group. Octreotide-PPSG appears to inhibit the expression of SSTR2 and SSTR5 to a greater extent than that of Octreotide-soln treated group[1]. A test dose of octreotide acetate significantly decreases the serum gastrin level to approximately one third of the baseline in 2 hr and the effect lasted approximately for 6 hr. On day 21, treatment with sustained-release formulation of octreotide acetatea (5 mg intramuscular, q 4 wk) is initiated[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (2.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (22.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (2.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (22.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Mice[1]
Thirty mice with HCC xenografts are randomLy divided into three groups: (A) Octreotide-soln group, (B) Octreotide-PPSG group, and (C) control group. Octreotide-soln group receives i.p. injection of 100 μg/kg octreotide-soln once a day and totally for consecutive 14 days. Octreotide-PPSG group receives a single subcutaneous injection of 1.4 mg/kg Octreotide-PPSG, and the injection volume is about 0.2 mL. Control group receives i.p. injection of saline once a day for consecutive 14 days. Treatment starts on the next day after injection of H22 hepatoma cell suspension and maintains for 14 days. Tumor growth is monitored by periodic caliper measurements on day 7 and day 14 post seeding. Tumor volumes (V) are calculated based on the length and width of tumor by Eq.
Rats[1]
Twelve male SD rats are divided into two groups, and housed in standard cages at 25°C, with free access to food and water for a week prior to the experiment. Rats are subcutaneously injected with Octreotidereotide solution (Octreotide-soln) or Octreotide-PPSG at an equivalent single dose of 20 mg/kg. The dose is determined based on the clinical dose of Octreotide-soln in human. Rats are fasted for 12 h before dosing and food is returned approximately 2 h post dosing. Blood samples are collected at predetermined time points using heparinized Eppendorf tubes. Immediately after collection, the blood samples are placed on ice until centrifuged at 3000 g for 10 min within 1 h. The plasma is collected and stored at −20°C until analysis.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
