N-Terminal Acylation of Somatostatin Analog with Long Chain Fatty Acids Enhances Its Stability and Anti-Proliferative Activity in Human Breast Adenocarcinoma Cells

The anti-proliferative activity of the somatostatin analog RC-160 is limited by its short serum half life. To circumvent this limitation, fatty acids of chain lengths ranging from 4 to18 were individually conjugated to the N-terminal residue of RC-160. The lipophilized derivatives of RC-160 were syn...

Zusammenfassung:The anti-proliferative activity of the somatostatin analog RC-160 is limited by its short serum half life. To circumvent this limitation, fatty acids of chain lengths ranging from 4 to18 were individually conjugated to the N-terminal residue of RC-160. The lipophilized derivatives of RC-160 were synthesized, purified and characterized. The anti-proliferative activity of lipophilized-RC-160 on the human breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7, was evaluated in vitro. The long chain lipopeptides like pamitoyl-RC-160 exhibited significantly higher anti-proliferative activity on MCF-7 cells (p
