Edotreotide
Synonyms: DOTATOC; SDZ-SMT 487; SMT 487
Edotreotide is a selective ligand for the somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2), capable of competitive binding to the receptor. It facilitates the targeted delivery of radionuclides, such as 90Y, 177Lu, and 68Ga, to SSTR-positive tumors, promoting tumor cell apoptosis through the emission of β rays. Edotreotide's strong tumor-targeting capabilities make it a valuable tool in the development of radionuclide-drug conjugates (RDCs) and in research applications focused on neuroendocrine tumors, including metastatic carcinoids and lung and thymus neuroendocrine tumors.
