BIM-23190 hydrochloride, a somatostatin analog, a selective SSRT2 and SSRT5 agonist, exhibits Ki values of 0.34 nM and 11.1 nM for SSTR2 and SSTR5, respectively. BIM-23190 can be used in the study for cancer and acromegaly[1][3].
BIM-23190 tends to mildly stimulate PRL secretion[1].
BIM-23190 (50 μg/mouse, twice a day) exhibits significant anti-tumor (C6 glioma) activity[2].
