Seglitide (acetate)

• UNSPSC Description:

  Seglitide acetate (MK 678; L 36358 acetate) is a potent, orally active somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) agonist, and also a competitive antagonist of SSTR14, SSTR25, and SSTR28. Seglitide acetate has antihypertensive effects and can inhibit plasma glucagon and growth hormone. Seglitide acetate can be used for research on diabetes[1][2][3].
