Abstract
Somatostatin (SST) is a peptide hormone active in the regulation of the endocrine system via different somatostatin receptors subtypes. It inhibits the release of multiple secondary peptide hormones, affecting neurotransmission and cell proliferation. SST has a high therapeutic potential in the treatment of disease, such as acromegali, acute pancreatitis and gastroenteropathic endocrine tumors. However, its practical use is hampered by a short in vivo half-life of only a few minutes in man. For this reason more long-lived SST analogues, including octreotide and lanreotide, have been developed. Here we have used native SST as a model compound for a different approach of extending plasma half-lives of in vivo labile biomolecules. Through... (More)
Somatostatin (SST) is a peptide hormone active in the regulation of the endocrine system via different somatostatin receptors subtypes. It inhibits the release of multiple secondary peptide hormones, affecting neurotransmission and cell proliferation. SST has a high therapeutic potential in the treatment of disease, such as acromegali, acute pancreatitis and gastroenteropathic endocrine tumors. However, its practical use is hampered by a short in vivo half-life of only a few minutes in man. For this reason more long-lived SST analogues, including octreotide and lanreotide, have been developed. Here we have used native SST as a model compound for a different approach of extending plasma half-lives of in vivo labile biomolecules. Through association of the peptide hormone with lipid-based liquid crystalline nanoparticle (LCNP) carriers, the terminal half-life of SST injected intravenously in rats is shown to be significantly extended from less than 10 min to more than 1 h. The effect on the in vivo circulation behavior depends on the mode of peptide association to the lipid particles and related physicochemical properties are discussed on the basis of in vitro light scattering, z-potential and adsorption measurements. It is concluded that application of the LCNP delivery system represents an interesting alternative to chemical modifications of in vivo sensitive therapeutically interesting peptides.
