Octreotide belongs to the group of synthetic cyclic octapeptides, known for its selectivity towards inhibiting the growth hormone. It binds to the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), and thereby prevents the secretion pathways of growth hormone. Hence it is used in the treatment of diseases caused by overproduction of growth hormone, such as acromegaly.
