Seglitide

• Description :

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