Pentetreotide

Octreotide, a somatostatin analogue, linked to the chelator DTPA that holds radioactive indium-111: approved by the FDA in 1994, it is used in scintigraphy to locate neuroendocrine tumours rich in somatostatin receptors. This family brings together the active ingredient.

Did you know?It was born in Rotterdam: Eric Krenning's group replaced the iodine-123 of an earlier version with indium-111, which is cleared by the kidneys instead of the bile, avoiding build-up in the intestines.
